are you cotton wicks treated with any time of chemical(s)?

I don't believe so. I wanted 100% cotton with no chemicals, so I'm hoping that I selected the right one. I boiled mine before I used it to remove any "sizing" etc , to make sure it didn't contain anything harmful.

I'm not sure, probably from Afterglow or any craft store that sells candle & lamp supplies. I've not had to replace a wick yet.

No it is not treated with any chemicals, I called their customer service line to verify.

Depends on what you are calling "oilskin". The originals were cotton canvas coated with linseed oil. I doubt that the Mirazyme would be a threat to these, but I'm not sure. The Brits and Aussies both make wax coated cotton waterproof garments. Again, I doubt that Mirazyme would be a problem but I haven't tried it on these. Neither of these fabrics are in common usage any more. The modern usage for "oilskins" is foul weather gear, as used by fishermen and boaters. These are synthetic fabrics coated with a soft plastic, typically PVC. These are definitely safe with Mirazyme. In fact, they are a prime target for it. This kind of clothing can live a wretched life, soiled with fish slime and lubricants, and taken off wet and thrown in a corner to stew for days or weeks. Powerful producers of odor. These can, once thoroughly cleaned in a front loading washer, can be treated with a Mirazyme soak and hang dried successfully. They shouldn't be run through a dryer. The heat can damage the plastic coating.

NO...as long as there is fuel in tank and resevoir, the wick will burn and produce heat at the setting you have made.

Not that I see. I have been using them consistently for air fresheners and never had any kind of issue (essential oils and water, etc.)

I used this wick for pure beeswax candles poured into 4oz quilted mason jars (http://www.acehardware.com/product/index.jsp?productId=4418846&KPID=957278&kpid=957278&pla=pla_957278). They burn just fine. Just make sure that they are secured upright in place while the candle cools a bit, otherwise the wick flops over.

No. They say use cotton bedding because most of the other kinds of bedding are treated with harsh chemicals.

Naturepedic mattresses do meet all State and Federal flammability standards. The organic cotton used in Naturepedic mattresses is far less flammable than the polyurethane foam and other synthetic materials used in other mattresses. The organic cotton tends to smoulder, not burst into flames. The steel coils are not flammable. And this mattress does meet all safety requirements - without the use of toxic chemicals.

I would greatly caution doing that. Remember that rags or towels with linseed oil have high probability of spontaneous combustion if not properly cared for. I fear that when you fold/ roll the tent it could combust. Linseed oil dries through oxidation, and the process releases heat. The faster the oxidation, the more the greater the heat. A pile of rags or paper towels soaked with linseed oil can actually start burning without warning, leading to the manufacturer's warning that all oil-soaked rags should be stored under water in a covered, metal container, or washed before storage or disposal. Great idea in concept, but too risky to try. Get other products specific for tent waterproofing. I would greatly caution doing that.

I use the soap nuts and I have not experienced my clothes being dingy. I use hot water on my whites, the rest of my laundry is washed in cold water. I do get my soap nuts wet with warm water first .

The directions say no, they should be treated like good cast iron. Soap will damage the finish and cause premature wearing. A simple wipe down with warm water is much better.

Wow - you got 3 very different answers. The reviewer who said cotton is tough is right, so you can't really hurt them. I wash them in hot because I use a heavy-duty lotion, and there's no residue with hot water.

My buckwheat pillow is filled with 5 lbs. of 100% organic buckwheat husks. I doubt that a product that qualifies as 100% organic is going to be chemically treated. The question about unfumigated would have to be posed to the manufacturer.

The heaters are delivered with wicks already installed. I've used mine a half dozen times and there is no sign that the wicks are degrading. The wick forms a circle inside the unit. Eventually the wick will have to be replaced. I will go back to the manufacturer for that. I hopes this helps even though I didn't really answer your question.

Hi. I'm writing from Naturepedic. Absolutely not. We don't use those flame retardants in any of our products.
