The　complexity　and　diversity　of　oily　wastewater　calls　for　versatile　and　efficient　separation　of　emulsified　oil/water　mixtures.　Herein,　a　facile　method　is　applied　to　fabricate　superhydrophobic　cotton　fabric　for　highly　efficient　separation　of　surfactant-stabilized　oil/water　mixtures.　The　fabric　was　prepared　by　repeated　dip-coating　of　the　pretreated　cotton　fabric　in　a　dispersion　containing　multi-walled　carbon　nanotubes　(CNTs)　and　epoxy　resin　E-44　(ER).　This　strategy　could　avoid　not　only　the　conventionally　sophisticated　fabrication　process　but　also　the　usage　of　expensive　low　energy　materials　involved　in　preparing　superhydrophobic　materials.　The　modified　cotton　fabric　exhibited　remarkable　separation　of　surfactant　stabilized　water-in-oil　emulsion　with　a　separation　efficiency　beyond　99%.　Moreover,　the　superhydrophobic　cotton　fabric　showed　excellent　chemical　stability　and　mechanical　durability.　In　addition,　it　could　be　applied　to　different　types　of　emulsions　prepared　from　various　oils　and　emulsions　with　different　water　content,　showcasing　promising　potential　for　practical　water　treatment.
