Botanic Baby Australian Cotton Wash Guide

Thank-you for purchasing our 100% Organic Cotton Australian prefold! These pre-folds have been made using Australian grown cotton. The raw yarn is machine knitted, overlocked and finished in-house at Botanic Baby, Victoria, Australia.
Our prefolds are made from natural unbleached cotton which gives them their light brown/fawn colour. As it is spun and knitted completely raw, the cotton still contains its natural oils which need to be pre-washed out to get maximum absorbency.
We recommend up to 3-4 hot washes using a laundry powder that does NOT contain any whiteners or brighteners. We have found that the ‘Earth Choice’ brand quite good in the powder form.
You can also add ¼ teaspoon of dishwashing liquid to help dissolve the oils, but not too much that it foams up the machine. After each wash and dry, check a pre-fold for absorbency under a tap, initially the water will bead off, but once the oils have been dissolved out the water will soak in.
Sometimes you may achieve absorbency after the first wash, but we have occasionally had to wash up to 3-4 times to get sufficient absorbency. If you have access to a dryer this will speed up the process and also give greater softness from each wash.

MATERIALS

We care about quality

Our story begins in the rigorous environment of industrial laundry, where we learned exactly what 'durable' truly means. That commitment to lasting quality is the blueprint for our new vision: creating Australian-Made, Circular Luxury essentials. We select only the highest-grade, traceable materials, ensuring every piece you purchase is an ethical investment that withstands the test of time, wash after wash.

PROXIMITY

Locally made

Our journey began in Melbourne's South-East, where for over nine years, we pioneered a commercial nappy service. This hands-on legacy built our commitment to one truth: quality that endures.

Today, Botanic Baby continues this mission by evolving into Australian-Made, Circular Luxury.

We champion local industry, utilizing our Melbourne production hub and expert artisans to transform raw materials into heirloom-quality essentials. We actively source Australian cotton and manufacture locally, significantly reducing our operational carbon footprint.

For specialized materials like our exquisite Cotton Cashmere blend, we practice ethical, high-control provenance. This means we source the best in the world (such as high-grade Inner Mongolian cashmere) and combine it with Australian-sourced fibres, ensuring we always maintain direct control over quality, ethical standards, and the meticulous manufacturing details of every single product."

SUSTAINABILITY

Designed for a circular future

At Botanic Baby, sustainability is engineered into every design choice. We select materials—both natural and high-performance—that deliver two promises: superior longevity and a pathway back to recycling.

While we champion natural fibres like our Australian Cotton, we strategically use high-performance materials in areas like our waterproof covers to ensure maximum durability and a longer usable life. We guarantee every garment has a sustainable end-of-life plan through The Botanic Circle—our unique program ensuring your outgrown essentials are responsibly recycled, keeping them out of landfill and supporting a truly circular economy.
