Frequently Asked Questions
How do I wash organic cotton to keep it soft?
Wash in cold or lukewarm water (30°C max) with a gentle, plant-based detergent. Avoid bleach and fabric softeners—organic cotton naturally softens with each wash. Turn garments inside out to protect prints. Tumble dry on low or line dry in shade.
What does GOTS certification mean for baby clothes?
GOTS (Global Organic Textile Standard) guarantees: at least 95% certified organic fibers, no toxic pesticides or harmful dyes, no formaldehyde finishes, strict wastewater treatment standards, and fair labor conditions throughout the supply chain.
Is organic cotton better for babies with eczema?
Yes, organic cotton is often recommended for eczema-prone babies. GOTS-certified organic cotton is free from chemical irritants that can trigger flare-ups. Its natural breathability helps regulate temperature and reduce sweating—a common eczema trigger.
Why does Ikimono make in India?
India produces 51% of the world's organic cotton. By manufacturing in India, Ikimono maintains a transparent, single-origin supply chain from organic farms to GOTS-certified production facilities, reducing carbon emissions and supporting traditional textile craftsmanship.
How long do Ikimono clothes last compared to regular baby clothes?
Ikimono designs for the '5-child test'—each garment is made to be passed down through at least 5 children. Our 200 GSM French Terry cotton uses long-staple fibers that resist pilling, with reinforced seams that withstand 100+ washes.
