In this corner, Cora Ball, which you toss into your wash to remove microfibers from washing away with your laundry load. In this corner, Lint LUV-R, a filter you install outside your laundry machine with the same goal in mind. Even though Lint LUV-R removed a higher percentage of microfibers, Cora Ball reps say there's plenty of room in the laundry for its device and others. Cora Ball is a startup that launched after a Kickstarter campaign in 2017; Lint LUV-R has been around for a dozen years. "By filtering out lint and fibers, Lint LUV-R reduces the possibility of flooding, system failure and expensive remediation costs caused by sewage back-ups," the company says on its website.
