Wool does not need to be washed often, because the lanolin is naturally antibacterial, so they don't get smelly, and air out to be fresh again. Wash wool in a product made specially for washing wool, such as Eucalan or olive oil soap. Washing by hand is best. Use room temperature water, not icy cold water; don't shock the wool. BE CAREFUL NOT TO SHRINK YOUR WOOL COVERS by agitating too harshly. Aristocrats must always be hand washed, but the felted wool covers (Snap Wool Stacinator and Japanese Wool Bumpy) can be machine washed if you choose, but we recommend handwashing. If you decide to machine wash, you can, but expect some shrinkage. Top loaders tend to shrink wool more than front loaders because of the agitation. Alway use gentle cycle if you machine wash. Let them dry out of direct sunlight in a dry place. Never use a dryer. A dryer will shrink your covers.
Wool is naturally water resistant because of the natural lanolin on it. As you use and wash wool, some of the lanolin wears off, so they need to be re-lanonlized. Don't worry, it's easy! View the video of how to lanolize here. And because you can re-lanolize, wool covers can last through many children! This is a good thing! To re-lanolize, dissolve 1/4 teaspoon of Lansinoh Lanolin in HOT water. The water must be very hot to dissolve the lanolin, then add a little Eucalan or olive oil soap to keep the lanolin from glopping. Fill the sink with warm sink water, then put the wool covers in. Keep the water warm so the lanolin stays melted and doesn't glop. Let them soak in the lanolin water for a while (at least 15 minutes) or as long as overnight. Roll in a towel to get out excess moisture, then set them out to dry in a dry place. How often to relanolize them? Once a month, or once every few months, but sometimes more often, usually less often. Eucalan Wool Wash does add some lanolin, and really is the best wool wash. It decreases the need for relanolizing. We've found that truly re-lanonizing is periodically necessary even if Eucalan is used. Olive oil soap can be used instead of Eucalan, but you will need to relanolize more often. In many ways, wool is actually easier to care for than synthetics because you can keep re-using the cover over and over without washing it. On a toddler, I often go for several months between washings, with 4 wool covers in rotation. I think wool is very easy, and I love they way wool stays fresh and doesn't stink like synthetics do if you don't wash them frequently. Wool is quite easy once the poops settle down and baby is older. But for explosive, liquidy, breastfeed poops, wool can be more work than synthetics. A Potty Pail is great for spraying poop off wool covers when that occurs.
