I learned recently that a huge amount of the lint you see in the dryer is microplastics. Guess what? A similar amount comes out in the washer and goes out with the waste water wherever that ends up in your area. (These tiny fibers aren't easily caught by bulk water treatment methods, I understand.)
- ninininino 2y agoA significant portion of "household dust" comes from two sources: dead skin cells (great) and microplastics from textiles (wooo), like bedding, clothing, towels, rugs. Rugs: You can get machine-washable wool or cotton rugs or jute rugs. Clothing: cotton, linen, wool, natural leather Bedding: cotton/linen sheets
