•Fire protection coating was successfully built on cotton fabric via LbL assembly.•The resulted cotton fabric showed self-extinguishing behavior with only 4 bilayers.•Such coating endowed fabric with promising hydrophobic property. Excellent flame-retardant cotton fabric with desired hydrophobic is...
