Wool care

Your wool diaper cover will require different maintenance care than most popular diapers and should not be washed with your usual washing routine.

Wool naturally has wonderful antibacterial properties. For this reason, merino wool diaper covers do not need to be washed after each use.

Sheep produce lanolin which protects their wool and gives us extraordinary properties. When lanolin comes into contact with an external liquid, it has an antibacterial effect and converts the liquid into water vapor which will evaporate into the air. Wool absorbs about 30% of its weight in liquid before showing signs of dampness. Lanolin does not remove dirt so it must be washed occasionally.

 

How to take care of your wool between washes?
Since we add lanolin in the wool, it is not necessary to wash it after each use. It can take months before the wool needs a good bath! You will know to wash and re-lanolize your wool when odors appear, the wool becomes damp very quickly, or the diaper begins to leak. The wool must be allowed to dry between uses, to maintain its effectiveness!
Obviously, you will need to wash wool as soon as dirt (feces or food) comes into contact with it. Rinse off as much dirt as possible before washing to avoid stains.
Washing wool:
1. Rinse off embedded dirt as much as possible. Lanolin should make rinsing easier. If the stain persists, use a mild soap to wash it (based on olive oil, a natural soap) and rub the stain gently. Rinse well.
2. Fill the sink (this is recommended here, but you can also use a bucket of your choice) with lukewarm water, then add about a teaspoon of mild soap (baby shampoo for example, or a soap especially for wool (not Woolite)). Do not use ordinary detergent! Wool is like hair, not cotton!
3. Gently agitate the wool in the soapy water to soak it well and let it soak for 15 to 30 minutes.
4. Rinse gently and press the wool to squeeze out the excess water. Do not twist the wool, it could deform! Folding it in 2 or 3 and resting it on the edge of the sink is enough.
5. If you need to lanolize, it is not necessary to spin more. If you are not lanolising, then you can use a towel and roll the wool in it and press down hard to soak the excess water from the wool into the towel. You can even spin it in the washing machine and dry it flat.
Lanolize
After following steps 1 to 4:
1. Fill the sink with lukewarm water.
2. In a small container, add hot water (you may need water hotter than your tap, but it doesn't have to be boiling) and a drop of soap for your wool (baby shampoo) as well as your lanolin (one or two dots of lanolin should be enough for shorts, a little more for pants). Favor pure lanolin, it is more effective, otherwise put a little more if you use a lanolin-based cream. You can put everything in the microwave to melt the lanolin.
3. Shake vigorously: the mixture must be opaque and the lanolin completely dissolved, otherwise the wool will not be treated well.
4. Mix the lanolin with warm water from your sink and add your wool. Leave to soak for at least 30 minutes (or more!).
5. If you're soaking in the sink, remove the plug and let the water run through the wool. The lanolin will be able to stick to it even more. If you can't do it, that's okay! Let it soak a little longer and it should be just as effective.
6. Wring the wool without rinsing it with a towel (as in step 5 of the wash), and dry it flat (which can take a very long time!) It's faster in the sun but not recommended if your wool is n is not already muffled. Placing it in front of a fan or in front of your dehumidifier will be effective.
