General Care
Wool is so easy to care for. It should be washed every
one to two weeks, or when soiled. To keep it leak proof,
wool should be lanolized about once a month.
Sugar Peas wool covers must be hand-washed!
Washing
Hand wash with lukewarm water and a tablespoon of
Northern Essence wool wash. Let sit for up to thirty
minutes. Remove from water, roll in towel to dry,
squeeze out excess moisture, but do not rinse! Hang or
lay flat to dry. Do not rub or wring.
Lanolizing
Submerge the cover in a sink full of lukewarm water with
the inside facing up. Take 1/2 teaspoon of lanolin, 1
teaspoon of your favorite baby soap, and place both in
1/2-1 cup of water and microwave until the lanolin is
runny (30-90 seconds). Now shake the mixture until it
becomes a milky white color. If there are still visible
globs of lanolin in the mixture, add more baby soap and
shake again until the lanolin is completely emulsified
and the mixture is milky white. Pour over your cover.
Swish the cover around in the water, let it soak for 20-30
minutes, roll in towel to dry, squeeze out excess
moisture, but do not rinse. Hang or lay flat until dry.
The inside of the cover will be sticky to the touch for the
first day or so.
How much lanolin you add depends on how long you
want to go before relanolizing. The more lanolin you add
(up to 1 1/2 teaspoons), the more sticky the cover will be,
but the longer it will repel liquids.
Wool Wash Bar
Use a wool wash bar to clean off messes from your
wool cover instead of washing. Just hang dry.
