Guppy washing bag

The guppy washing bag is to prevent micro fibres from getting into the environment .

It’s quite expensive at £25 .

Does anyone know of a cheaper alternative ?

Re: Guppy washing bag

Wash your clothes normally - clean out the machine's filter when done - dispose of loose fibres.

Re: Guppy washing bag

Not in sufficient quantities to make me spend £25 on a bag that holds only one garment - which would lead to an increase in the number of loads - which in turn would waste water and potentially harm the environment.

Not sure that would do it though, these little beasties seem to be microscopic
