Do you mean Unbleached, non colour fastened chemical processed clothes?? If so...yes. I have had experience with these. They stain alot quicker but generally they wear better and are more expensive to purchase but great for people with allergies.
You can also get clothes now that are "low allergen" but not organic! And hemp clothes are cool!!! :disco:

My Daughters nappies are all made of hemp or bamboo the hemp ones are the best ( Haven't smoked one yet) they are made by a company called baby behinds the are shaped like a disposable and have press studs to keep them together very handy but very expensive

Sorry Ausland, Organic Clothing.. Unprocessed. Think of organic food, but with clothes! Free of pesticides, etc. Cotton, hemp, bamboo are a few of the materials used.
Louise, thats great insight, thankyou! There are actually shirts available in a range of colours and designs/patterns now. Its interesting that they stain easily - Can the stains be removed at all or leave permanent marks? AUIII - Firstly, same choice of vehicle as I - You must know what your talking about!! Thanks for your comment. Can I ask what made you buy organic nappies and approx costs for them?? I noticed that baby behinds has closed its website... You had better stock up!! Thanks for that! |

This is a good website...
http://www.naturalfashion.com.au/ If you are sensitive to chemicals then Lux soap normally gets out the stains and if it is an oil stain...well you can always use more oil..like Tea tree oil. I know that sounds weird..more oil on oil...but it works!! I clean my house with bio-degradable solutions. The amount of bi-carb, vinegar and ammonia I have in my house would make ya head spin!! This is a great site for cleaning stuff if you cant be bothered to make it yourself. I am just cheap! and can't see why I should pay $10 for a stain remover!! or $6 for spray and wipe when I can make it myself!! http://www.ecoathome.com.au/products...QSearch=herbon

My understanding is that the biggest difference comes from the type of cotton used. The South American cotton is some of the best in the world, they use natural dyes. The colour seems to last longer and the fibre is stronger. As with everything you have good and bad organic cottons as you do with blends (cotton, polyester etc.) If you have any specific questions let me know, I may be able to ask my manufacturer for more details. |

When my lad was a bub, we had a tea (Ti-tree) tree mattress for him. Supposedly they can breath through it even if they roll over, anti-bacterial etc. It was easy to chuck in the car and had a shape that stopped him being able to roll out of it. Its small though, so only suitable for the fist year or so.
Worked well anyway, dont know if there were really any benefits though other than being a great porta-cot. |

The cost well after weeks of wife explaining the environmental benefits and how superior they are to cloth I should of twigged it was going to be expensive we went and placed an order for them one Saturday morning and the cost was about $600.00  : :togo: that was for a starter pack I think it had 24 nappies, 48 liners, 8 covers and 36 wipes and some other stuff. we have all we need we purchased a few more larger nappies recently, I am surprised the company closed when we brought ours we went on a 2 month waiting list and some people we knew were buying pre loved ones from ebay There are a couple of other companies that sell them Man having kids changes your life I would have never thought 10 months ago I would explaining the benefits of nappies on a car forum

[/QUOTE]haha... Like it! $25 a nappy... I wouldnt have thought that would be too much different to 'normal' nappies. (Can you tell I dont have kids)?! As long as they did the trick, thats the main thing... Oh, and the fact that you listened to your wife! ha! Thanks AU! |

what about wool? especially merino- it breaths(warm on cold days and cool on warm days) ,it dries fast and there is a range called merino kidds. it is a natural fibre, and is more "organic" than alot of products

Personally, wool makes me itch!
But your right FMZ, wool is probably 'the' most organic of all!! Been around for ages as well! I thought wool was mainly jumpers and ... well ... cardigans!! ha! Will have to look into that aswell! Thanks! |

organic baby clothes : www.dimples.co.nz
www.gogobag.co.nz www.merinokids.com due to the comfort factor (prickle factor) of superfine merino wool it is far less irratating (if at all) against the skin compared to other types of wool which have a much thicker fibre diameter than that of the merino wool. maybe silk is an option? any way hope this helps. |
