Each one is handmade in Perth, Australia and the materials used have been chosen for their soft and delicate nature. However, they feel like a flannel material it is made up of a cotton bamboo mix. This material was selected as bamboo fibre is soft, breathable and absorbent. Also, as bamboo grows so fast it is considered an eco-friendly and sustainable material.
The organic baby face cloths are perfect for newborns, babies, toddlers, young kids and Adults. Whether you use it in the bath or to wash your children’s faces. The gentle feel of the material makes the organic cloth to use on their face and body and can also be used as a natural teething remedy. Just cool it by placing it in the fridge and letting your baby chew on it.
As we have a lot of these around the house we use them to clean up small messes in the kitchen or around your house. We recommend washing this product regularly as it can harbour bacteria.
Use
The best way to use a wash cloth is to wet them and squeeze out excess water. Then wipe off any dirt or grime from your baby. Rinse the cloth again and start the process over again until they are clean. It’s best to start from their head and move down their body. Continually rinsing the cloth as it gets dirty. Do not use soap as this will dry out the newborn’s skin.
Other Uses
Washcloths can be used for many other things apart from washing your newborn. These include;
-
- Wipes — Spray some disinfectant on the cloth and wipe down the surface. But don’t use the same cloth on your baby until after you have thoroughly washed it.
-
- General Cleaning — You can use these as a general cleaning cloth. Anywhere from drying the dishes, cleaning surfaces, or even washing the car.
-
- Reusable Nursing Pad — As these are made with similar materials, you could use them as a nursing pad. They might be too large so you will have to cut them down to size.
-
- Panty Liner — If you have run out or you are looking for an eco-friendly alternative. These can double as a panty liner.
-
- Small Burp Cloths — They can cover your clothes from spit-ups and vomit from a newborn. But you might need to separate the stitching to make it large enough.
-
- Teether — Instead of a teether you can use a washcloth. Place this in the freezer and give it to your baby. This will soothe their gums and relieve the pain. Make sure to wrap it in a teatowel first so it’s not too cold on their skin.
Buyers Guide
When choosing to buy the best baby washcloths take these factors into consideration;
-
- How many does a newborn need — You won’t need too many, start by buying a pack of 3 and you can buy more if you find you need them.
-
- Soft — Make sure they are soft to the touch.
-
- Size and Shape — The size is important. If it is too large it will be harder to maintain and use. While if it is too small you won’t be able to use it effectively. We suggest a square shape measuring 17cm x 17cm.
-
- Cost — The cost will vary depending on the brand, material, and quality. You can get a cheap, imported pack of 6 for $13.00 while our pack of 3 is handmade in Australia and costs $26.95.
-
- Organic — It’s important to choose washcloths that are organic. When washing your baby you want to use natural products as much as possible.
-
- Quality — Make sure it’s made to a high standard. Look at the stitching to make sure there are no loose threads.
-
- Materials — Look for products made of soft, eco-friendly and organic materials. Better quality wash cloths are made with cotton or bamboo.
Materials and Manufacturing
Any time you are buying products for your baby, it’s important to know where, how and with what materials things are made. And newborn washcloths are no different. The best baby washcloths are;
-
- Australian Made — Buying products made in Australia helps the local economy. It also means that the company must meet safety, quality, and legal requirements. Some products from overseas are not required to meet the same standards as in Australia. This also includes how they treat their employees.
-
- Cotton and Bamboo — Look for washcloths made from cotton or bamboo. These are the perfect materials to use on the newborn’s skin. They are soft, absorbent, strong and hypoallergenic. These are low maintenance and odour free. They are eco-friendly and sustainable and are fast growing and don’t need a lot of water.
Care And Maintenance
Washcloths are very easy to maintain. After buying them it’s best to machine wash and place them in the dryer before use. We find machine drying makes them a lot softer than hanging up to dry.
Ours are white so you may choose to only wash them with white colours. Otherwise, these can be washed with any of your baby’s laundry. These should be changed and washed daily. This will prevent mould from building up on them. A damp washcloth can be unsanitary and grow mould. They can be stored wherever you keep your baby clothes as long as they are not in a damp location.
