Organic cotton washer – UMe Australia
SILVER + EDITOR'S CHOICE
Best Baby Essentials 2026
$19.95
This organic terry towelling washer is made from unbleached, certified organic cotton, free from toxic dyes and fumigation treatments. Ethically made in Australia, it is soft and gentle on delicate skin, suitable for babies and toddlers.
Clean Ingredients / Materials
Made from excellent, non-toxic materials. 100% certified organic cotton (OCS 100), unbleached and independently tested for toxicity.
Ethical Practices
UMe Australia’s entire range is ethically made in Melbourne, with packaging also produced in Australia and a focus on using Australian-made materials where possible. All workers are subject to the Fair Work Act 2009 as required by Australian law. The range is crafted from natural fibres, specifically 100% organic cotton and wool, with a conscious choice to avoid synthetic materials such as polyester and elastane.
Sustainable Practices
UMe uses recyclable, Australian-made packaging produced at a local Melbourne paper mill and employs minimal packaging to reduce waste. The Australian supply chain is used to reduce carbon footprint. The brand avoids synthetic materials such as polyester and elastane in its apparel, swaddles, washers and playmats to support decomposition at end of life and a circular fashion business model. Fabrics are certified organic by The Organic Content Standard (OCS) and have not been imported or treated with fumigants.
Social Impact
UMe supports a large number of small Australian manufacturers and suppliers by sourcing locally made components where possible and engaging Australian family businesses. Its signature organic pointelle fabric is the only Australian-made pointelle, knitted in Melbourne by a family-owned manufacturer and its development led to the recommissioning of a specific knitting machine that had not been used for over 20 years due to low demand for locally made fabric.
Product Reviews by Experts
This washer is exactly what it should be – unbleached, GOTS-certified organic cotton terry towelling, knitted in Melbourne, free from toxic dyes and fumigation treatments. In a market full of baby washers made from bleached synthetic blends or imported commodity cotton, the UMe washer stands apart through material simplicity and full local traceability. The terry towelling texture is effective for gentle cleansing without needing to add anything to it. We loved this – it feels so beautiful against our little man’s skin and I would not hesitate to repurchase or gift this to my family and friends! What UMe has achieved with Australian manufacturing is genuinely significant – recommissioning a knitting machine that had been dormant for over 20 years to create the only Australian-made pointelle fabric is a real contribution to local industry and textile heritage. The entirely Australian supply chain from fabric to labels to packaging is not just good ethics – it is proof of concept that local manufacturing can produce premium-quality baby essentials.
I absolutely love this washer. It’s beautifully soft, feels lovely against baby’s skin and has proven to be incredibly durable with constant use. It’s one of those simple everyday essentials that quickly becomes something you reach for again and again. What stood out to me most was the brand’s commitment to Australian manufacturing and natural materials. I really value that they’ve chosen certified organic cotton, support local family businesses and have built their products around quality, longevity and low-tox materials.
This little washer is beautifully soft and feels lovely against delicate skin. It’s one of those simple everyday essentials that gets used over and over, so I appreciate the choice of certified organic, unbleached cotton. I also love that it’s made entirely in Australia, supporting local manufacturing while keeping the materials as natural and organic as possible.
