Caring For Woollies

1- Wash the woolly in lukewarm water and baby soap, lanolin soap or wool wash. Wring the water out.

2- Fill a bowl, not your sink, (the wool fibers might clog your sink) with luke warm water.

3- Boil about 1 cup water in microwave, then add pea size amount of lanolin per woolly and about the same amount of baby soap. (an emulsifier to help dissolve the lanolin) When the lanolin is dissolved the water will be milky.
4- Add dissolved lanolin to your bowl of water and stir in.
5- put the woolly in the bowl (inside out works best, it puts the lanolin where it is needed) and massage the lanolin in. Leave to soak for about an hour. (overnight works great!) Occasionally come back and massage the lanolin in a bit more.
6- Wring the water out.

Now you have to get most of water out for faster drying.

Roll it up in a towel and squeeze the water out or throw them in your washer on the spin cycle and spin the water out.

7- Now you hang them out to dry, inside at least 12 hours or outside 6-8 hours.
Your woolly should only need to be washed and lanolised about once a month. If they get soiled with food, dirt, or baby poo then they will need to washed and relanolised. If they get wet you replace them with another and hang out to dry. The lanolin in the woollies will help the wool turn the urine into salt water. If the woolly starts to smell like urine after dry then you should wash and re-lanolise.
