• Baby BeeHinds wool covers only need washing every few weeks (providing they are not soiled and have been lanolised well enough)
• When changing baby's nappy, hang the wool cover to air dry until you next need to use it again - the lanolin in the wool neutralises the urine, meaning the cover self-cleaning
• You only need to wash your cover if it becomes soiled, stinky or dirty, or when it requires re-lanolising

• Hand wash or machine wash on the gentle cycle, inside a laundry or delicates bag
• Wash in cold water using a gentle wool wash
• Once clean, rinse well under cool water, lanolise, and then hang in the shade to dry
• Do not soak wool covers in whitening or soaking solutions
• Do not tumble dry

Lanolising:

In order for the wool cover to perform its best, it needs to be 'lanolised'. Lanolin is the natural oil found in wool that helps to keep sheep dry in the rain.

The wool needs to have this lanolin replenished every couple of weeks to maintain its leak proof abilities.

Use a pure lanolin product like 'PureLan' (commonly used to soothe sore nipples when breastfeeding) which is the purest form of lanolin available and is completely natural and hypoallergenic.

• Fill a bucket or sink with about 5cm of very hot water, than add a pea-sized amount of pure lanolin and mix to melt and disperse.
• Once the lanolin is melted and evenly dispersed throughout the hot water, add enough cold water to make it cool
• Submerge the wool cover into the solution and squeeze the cover to distribute the lanolin into the fibres, then leave to soak for a couple of hours or overnight
• When you are ready to remove the cover, do not rinse it, just squeeze out the excess water by hand
• Roll the cover up in a towel to remove as much moisture as possible, and then lay flat in the shade to dry
• Re- lanolise every 2-4 weeks, or when the cover starts to smell
