About VettedClean

VettedClean is a one-person editorial project. I'm Jonathan Amparo — a software engineer who reads the certifications, third-party testing, manufacturer disclosures, and regulatory docs around PFAS-free cookware and water filtration, then translates them into plain language for the next person who has the same question.

VettedClean does not test products.We do not own, use, or photograph the items we cover. Our role is to aggregate what credible third parties disclose — NSF, Made Safe, EWG, peer-reviewed research, regulators, and manufacturer testing pages — and point you at the original sources. When we describe quality or durability, we're reporting what the manufacturer specifies and what material-property literature says, not what we personally observed.

We don't do scare tactics. We don't tell you to throw out everything you own. The reality is that PFAS, microplastics, and other contaminants are everywhere — but you also replace cookware and filters on a normal cadence anyway. Swap when you replace is the entire idea.

What we cover at launch

• Cookware — PFAS-free pans, ceramic, cast iron, stainless steel, carbon steel.
• Water filtration — pitcher, countertop, under-sink, and whole-house filters with NSF P473 (PFAS-specific) certification or equivalent third-party testing.

Expansion pillars (kid/baby, personal care, home goods, cleaning, apparel) ship as the site earns the audience to support them.

Editorial principles

• Health and toxicity claims are always cited from third parties — EWG, Made Safe, NSF, peer-reviewed research, regulators.
• Quality and durability framing references manufacturer specifications, third-party certifications, and material-property literature — never first-person testing.
• Affiliate links are disclosed in plain language above the fold of every article.
