Care:
You will need to lanolize your wool cover before first use. When your cover begins to lose some of its water resistance (approx. every 4-6 weeks), you will need to re-lanolize it. Handwash in lukewarm water with a mild detergent or wool wash; lie flat to dry.

What's so great about wool?
- Wool is a natural fibre and a renewable resource!
- Wool is extremely breathable, allowing for lots of airflow near your baby's bottom (good for stopping diaper rash and for preventing trapped heat) and also allowing for evaporation of moisture
- Wool covers contain lanolin (made of oils secreted by sheep), which creates a natural waterproofness and is also antibacterial
- Wool is incredibly absorbent and can hold an amazing 33% of its weight in moisture without feeling wet, making it a very popular choice as a nighttime cover
- Wool is anti-bacterial it can be used repeatedly between washes and only requires air-drying between uses. The covers need cleaning only when soiled or when the wool retains an odour. Depending on the amount of use it's common to have to wash covers every couple of weeks and lanolize every 4 to 6 weeks.
