How should I wash organic baby clothing?
We recommend washing organic cotton pieces in cold or warm water using a gentle, fragrance-free detergent. Avoid bleach and fabric softeners, as they can be harsh on both delicate skin and natural fibers. Line dry or tumble dry on low when possible. Because organic cotton is minimally processed, slight shrinkage can occur — sizing up is always a safe choice if you’re between sizes.
Are your baby products truly non-toxic?
Yes. Product safety is one of our core standards. We carefully select items made without unnecessary chemicals or harsh materials. Our baby collections avoid things like BPA, phthalates, PVC, lead, formaldehyde, and synthetic fragrances. Many toys are crafted from natural rubber, food-grade silicone, wood, or organic fabrics, and skincare products rely on gentle, plant-based ingredients.
How do I care for wooden toys?
Wooden toys are wonderfully durable and easy to maintain. Simply wipe with a damp cloth and mild soap if needed. We do not recommend submerging them in water or placing them in the dishwasher. To refresh the finish over time, a very small amount of beeswax or food-safe mineral oil works beautifully.
Do your products carry certifications?
Many of our items come from makers who follow recognized safety and organic standards. Depending on the product, you may see certifications such as GOTS, OEKO-TEX, CPSIA, or ASTM compliance. Specific details are always listed on individual product pages when applicable.
Are your products suitable for sensitive skin?
Our organic and natural materials are often preferred by families with sensitive skin, as they avoid many common irritants. Organic cotton, in particular, is soft and breathable. That said, every child is different, so we always recommend patch-testing new skincare items and consulting your pediatrician if sensitivities are severe.
How long do natural bath toys typically last?
Bath toys made from natural materials generally last 6–12 months with regular use, though this can vary. Unlike plastic, natural materials gently break down over time, which is kinder to the environment. We suggest allowing toys to dry fully between baths and replacing them if you notice cracking, mold, or wear.
What size ranges do you offer for baby clothing?
We carry sizes from newborn through 24 months. Gift baskets are organized by size to make selection easier. When choosing a gift, sizing up is often the safest option — babies grow quickly, and larger sizes tend to be used longer.
Can natural or organic products still cause allergies?
While organic products avoid synthetic additives, natural materials can still trigger sensitivities for some individuals. If the recipient has known allergies, reviewing ingredient lists or choosing simple options like organic cotton and fragrance-free products is always a thoughtful approach.
How should unused products be stored?
Organic textiles prefer a cool, dry environment away from direct sunlight. Natural skincare and bath items should be used within their recommended shelf life. Whenever possible, breathable storage (such as cotton) is better than sealed plastic for long-term care.
What’s the difference between budget and luxury baskets?
Every Our Green House basket follows the same standards for safety, quality, and thoughtful curation. Luxury baskets typically include more items, premium materials, specialty brands, enhanced personalization, and elevated presentation. Our more modestly priced options still deliver the same care, design, and product integrity.
