Are My Organic Baby Blankets Really Organic?
Jun 3rd, 2011 by Luis
It’s a concern that a lot of people have, especially since many manufacturers stick the ‘organic’ label on all sorts of products that sometimes really only use products that are not quite as naturally processed as they should be; and the easiest way to find out whether a blanket or a food item or clothing or cosmetics is genuinely organic is to check the label. Real organic baby blankets, clothes and other fabric products, there should be a label that says “100% Certified Organic Cotton” or perhaps a “Certified Organic Clothing” label.
Should potential buyers really trust what these labels say? Producing fabric that is a hundred percent organic isn’t really that cost effective, so there are companies who make products that are only partially organic. For instance, you might see a comforter that is labeled “100% Certified Organic Cover” which means that only the upper layer is of organic fabric, and the under layers are ordinary synthetics or non-organic processed material.
So it definitely pays to read the label carefully. Especially as one is searching for products that a child with really sensitive skin would use; parents are more particular when it comes to their kids. However, even 100% certified blankets and bedding made for babies might not really be a hundred percent at all. One way to get ahead of such manufacturers is to stick to companies that you know for sure produce real organic blankets, or use organic fabric.
In case of doubt, you can call the company itself and ask if they use chemicals in the manufacturing process.
Keep in mind that even a major company logo can be faked, so get a list of reputable organic product dealers in your neighborhood, or your city. Where you buy can also help you get genuine organic baby blankets for your child, or even as a gift for the children of someone you know. There are many reputable retailers on the internet, though you’ll not be able to handle their products until they’re shipped. That’s why if you buy online, read the fine print on the ads and then make sure that they have a warranty.
Reading a few reviews regarding the retailer ought to be a great help, because you’ll be reading what other customers think of the retailer and his products. These precautions might seem rather extreme, but really, they are things that people should think to do before every purchase. After all, for a child’s health and well-being, some effort must be made.
