Why we only use Natural Fabrics for Our Reusable Wipes

Our reusables wipes are not only super practical for cleaning your home and using on your skin, but they’re are only made from 100% organic cotton sourced from GOTS approved factories.

This is so important for many reasons..

Using natural fabrics, meaning anything that is grown from a plant, means that as long as they are unprocessed with harsh dyes, they will be reabsorbed into the earth, making them degradeable. This means that unlike fabric made from petrochemicals like polyester and acrylic (think microfibre cloths and fleece).

Natural fabrics include, cotton, linen, hemp, bamboo, silk and wools.

But its not enough to simply use cotton fibres..

Growing crops using heavy pesticides, kills soils quality and harms the health of farmers and workers who tend the crops. We need a soil quality to be high so that the food we eat is filled with all the nutriants we require to be healthy.

Right now, only 1% of cotton produced worldwide is organic. Rather than seeing this as a huge problem, i see it as a huge opportunity for customers to be demanding more organic cotton. For more retailers ti use organic cotton.

The great news is that it only takes 2/3 years to go from a pestacide using farm practise to fully organic. Meaning soil quality can repair and farmers dont need to risk their health.

We all have a responsibility to understand how our choices impact not only our beautiful planet, but all the people who live on it.

Rest assured that when you buy our reusable wipes or unpaper towels as they are sometime called, they are made from only the most ethical fabrics, from the best factories, and are made by hand here at our studio in Digbeth Birmingham meaning you can shop without guilt.
