These plain bamboo towelling wipes are perfect for an easy eco swap! An ideal choice for replacing single use baby wipes; Jess uses them for both bums and faces in her house!
Named for their lack of cotton backing, naked wipes are made from a single layer of double sided bamboo terry towelling, and measure approximately 15x18cm, which makes them a little larger than the cotton backed rounds and squares; big enough for the old wipe, fold, wipe routine. Choose from a classic white stitch finish, or go for a rainbow stitch to jazz them up!
Naked wipes are made with towelling: 90% bamboo, 10% polyester. Fox & Bobbin wipes can be stored wet or dry and can be machine washed up to 60 degrees to clean. Washing before first use is recommended, to avoid fibre shedding. Please see storage and laundering instructions below.
Wet storage
For easy use whilst out and about, pour cooled boiled water into a water-tight container. Soak your wipes and squeeze out any excess. Use on the go in place of single use wet wipes. Perfect for little faces and fingers after a meal, or at nappy change time!*
Dry storage
Keep in a container or loose and use as you wish with your usual soap and water. Ideal for makeup removal and use as a general facecloth. For makeup removal, rinse and use one wipe as many times as needed.
Laundering
Once used, rinse off any stains with cold water, and wash with your regular washing. I recommend washing no higher than 60̊C and air drying where possible. Fabric softener does not harm the wipes, but if you’d like to keep absorption and exfoliating properties, avoid using it (it’s personal choice!). Bamboo does not like heat, and will bald if tumble dried or dried in direct heat repeatedly. Wipes may lose some shape definition in the wash. Please do not iron; simply pull back into shape whilst damp and hang to dry.
Packaging
All sets come wrapped in a hand-stamped branded belly band, with full washing instructions printed on the reverse.
