What Material is the Cloth in Your Wipes?

Submitted by ericjs on Tue, Nov. 03, 2009

You claim to disclose all ingredients but mention of what this cloth is made out of is oddly absent from your listings. I have to assume it is the rayon / polyester blend that most wipes use. If so, why don't you use something biodegradeable? Hemp, bamboo, cellulose, even cotton?

Ok after more digging I

Ok after more digging I found that you list the material on the Material Safety Data Sheet. Rayon-Polyester Blend as I suspected. I find it a bit dishonest that you bury it so deep, and don't list it on your ingredients page, and don't put it on your product page or on the packaging.

And it really boggles my mind that you don't use something biodegradable. It's not like cloth technology is something new or sophisticated. We've had all manner of biodegradable fabrics for thousands of years. I find it really hard to believe there's nothing suitable for use as a wipe.
