Wool is easy to
care for. Because
wool
is naturally water repellent to protect the sheep’s delicate skin,
liquids cannot easily penetrate the fibers and can be wiped clean
without needing to be washed after every use.
It is also nearly
wrinkle resistant so it is always ready to be worn.
Washing Instructions
To wash add 1 tsp of gentle soap
(like Ivory soap, for example) per gallon of clean, tepid water. Let garment soak for ten minutes.
Gently squeeze suds through the fabric taking care not to felt the
wool. Rinse thoroughly in tepid water. Roll garment in a towel to
remove excess water. Reshape and dry flat out of direct sun or heat.
Diaper Covers
One of the wonderful benefits of
wool diaper covers is that they do not need to be washed after each
use. An unstained cover can be used at least six to eight times
between washes. A soiled diaper cover should be washed immediately to
prevent a stain from setting. In between, simply leave the cover to
dry. You can also brush your wool diaper cover with a lint brush to
freshen it.
Clothing
You should only need to wash your wool sweaters
once a season unless they get soiled. Soiled clothing should be
washed immediately to prevent stains from setting. In between
washing, simply brush your wool garment with a lint brush to freshen
it.
