Caring for your wool cover

Wool covers are very low maintenence in my opinion.
Hand wash in a tepid waterbath. I mix a little Johnson's baby soap and gently clean soiled areas. You can use a stain remover on spots if needed. I don't think that Eucalin wool wash is necessary unless you just like it. In my experience, it didn't lanolize adequately alone.
To Lanolize, just take a tube of lanoline and squirt a dot about the size of a large marble into a pan or glass. Add a little johnson's wash and as much water as you'd like. Heat the mixture and mix until it has a milky consistancy. There should not by any clumpy spots.
Dump this into your tepid waterbath for the soakers. I soak them at least 20 minutes.
You can either roll up the cover in a towel to extract the water, or run it in the spin cycle in your washing machine. Lay out to dry.
I only wash my covers if they start to smell after drying or if they get soiled.
I lanolize maybe once a month when I notice moisture wicking.
Your cover will smell when taken off the baby, but once it dries, the smell should be gone.
I like to make sure the cover is "tacky" to the touch after relanolizing. I think it is a tell-tell sign that it is waterproofed. This feeling will go away once you start using it.
