BAWIPE Good Change
New product
The soft, super absorbent and made from 100% sustainable bamboo wipes (one of the strongest natural materials on the planet) are handy to have and safe to use again and again on all surfaces including steel, granite, wood and glass. They won't smell and are washable (up to 75 times). After using them over and over again they can be thrown into the garden where they biodegrade.
Why a reusable Bamboo wipe/towel?
Washing instructions: wash up to 60 degrees Celsius, do not use fabric softener, do not tumble dry or iron
The bamboo rolls are made in China (as the bamboo is FSC Cert. Chinese bamboo so that’s where the production is as well). China has a well acknowledged certification standards called Guobiao (GB for short).
Guobiao standards or GB standards are the Chinese national standards issued by the Standardization Administration of China (SAC) – This is the Chinese National Committee of the ISO and IEC. The test report is approved for GB/T 19277.1-2011 Measurement of Final Aerobic Bio-decomposition Capacity of Materials under Controlled Composting Conditions Released Carbon Dioxide was Measured Section I: General Method.
The report found that composting of the bamboo wipes took 49 days.

When we source our products, we try to find as many environmental benefits as possible. We source eco products that do not cause any unnecessary harm to our environment.
This particular product matches the following critera (click on each to see other products matching the same):
Recycling has many benefits like saving energy, conserving raw materials, reducing the amount of stuff that goes to landfills and it's also saving you money. 2.5 Million Tons of waste go to landfills each year (8kg per person/week) 3/4 could be saved by re-using, recycling and composting. Re-duce, Re-use, Re-cycle!
Many people suffer from allergies, asthma and other sensitivities because of products that contain toxins or otherwise harmful ingredients. Most of these products are used inside the house eg. for cleaning, as body care products, as a detergent and so on. We try to source products that are mostly natural and do not cause any harm to you or your environment.
What is the difference? Compostable materials provide the earth with nutrients once it has completely broken down. Biodegradable materials refer to the ability of breaking down and return to nature. Buying products that are compostable and/or biodegradable will help to reduce the amount of waste that goes to landfills.
At the beginning of most production chains are the workers and farmers (producers). Sadly they do not always get a fair share of the benefits of the trade. You as a consumer can now make a conscious decision about buying fairtrade or fairly traded products and putting this right.

Wonderful product
I wish I'd bought these bamboo wipes sooner. I haven't had to buy any paper towels since I've been using these wipes. Knowing they are machine washable and able to be used again and again makes them so versatile. Highly recommended.
Fantastic product
These are just so good to use not once but over & over again. Wash well. Have used before so my 2nd purchase plus got some for my daughter.
Don't be afraid to give them a go!
I finally got round to ordering some of these as we work towards making our home a bit greener. I must say I was a little sceptical at first, as they aren't really much thicker than a disposable paper towel and I had my doubts that they'd survive the washing machine (particularly our fierce old toploader that likes to shred delicates!). However, I'm happy to report that they've washed up beautifully- I throw them in with my tea towels, dishcloths and other kitchen bits to avoid the additional water waste of washing them on their own. On a rainy day, one of them even survived the tumble dryer when I mistakenly threw it in with a towel!
Best paper towel replacement
So handy! and they come up almost perfect in the washing machine.

Amazing - complete game changer!
We use these during nappy changes for our 14 year old son that has Special Needs.
These are an absolute blessing! Big, strong, easily cleaned and best of all reusable. So much better for us, our son, our budget and the planet. Thank you so much!
