Washing Wool Diaper Covers

Don’t be afraid!  Washing your wool diaper covers is easy.  Best of all, you only have to do it every few weeks: when your covers start to hold a pee smell or when your covers start to allow leaks.

1.  Fill a sink with tepid water and woolwash (like Eucalan) or baby shampoo.

(1.5.  Every few months or so when covers become less waterproof, wool covers can be re-lanolized.  Dissolve a small amount of pure Lanolin in boiling hot water.  Add the dissolved mixture to tepid water and soak covers for 15 minutes.)

2.  Soak or gently swirl covers for 15 minutes or so.

3.  Gently squeeze excess water from covers.

4.  Roll covers in a dry towel to remove even more water.

5.  Lay covers flat to dry.
