The natural option for GROWING UP GREEN
Wool scares people. ”Hand-washing, lanolizing, ahhh…” Ok well it isn’t that bad, really. At Nifty Nappy™ we are all about easy. We realized that people need an alternative to sticky, bulky, non-dissolving lanolin to be able to fall in love with wool. This Lanolizing Potion is designed to be just that. Used with our Liquid Nifty Soap Nuts you can take your affair with wool to the next level.

The Lanolizing Potion was designed to be easy to use. We have done all the measuring, mixing and calculating for you. To use the Lanolin Potion you simply dissolve *one teaspoon of the potion in a cup of hot water (right from the tap) and stir it. Then you add it to your bowl of warm water stir it around and then add the washed woolie. Let it soak for 4-6 hours or overnight and then wring the woolie out and hang to dry. Ta-Da! All done. That was easy wasn’t it?
Many people try to use a wool wash with lanolin in it for their woolies, but these do not work as well. Basically when you combine the two steps you are lanolizing a woolie that is not clean yet. If you do this your woolie will not be able to function to the best of it’s ability and you will probably be frustrated with it. We are keeping it two separate steps while still making it easy.
*use amount for 2-4 woolies
From start to finish here is how to wash and lanolize your woolies:
- Wash the woolie in lukewarm water and the Liquid Nifty Soap Nuts, or other baby soap. Wring the water out.
- Fill a bowl, not your sink, (the wool fibers might clog your sink) with luke warm water.
- Dissolve *1 teaspoon full of the Lanolin Potion in a cup of hot water, right from your tap.
- Add this mixture to your bowl of water for lanolizing and stir it around.
- Put the woolie in the bowl (inside out works best, it puts the lanolin where it is needed) and massage the lanolin in. Leave to soak for between 4 –8 hrs. (overnight works great!) Occasionally come back and massage the lanolin in a bit more.
- Wring the water out. Now you have to get most of water out for faster drying. There are two ways to do this: A- You can roll it up in a towel and squeeze the water out. I don’t like this method; I think the towel wicks away too much of the lanolin. B- You can throw them in your washer on the spin cycle and spin the water out.
- Now you hang them out to dry, inside at least 12 hrs.; outside 6-8 hrs.
Your woolie should only need to be washed and lanolized about once a month. If they get soiled with food, dirt, or baby poo then they will need to washed and re-lanolized. If they get wet you replace them with another and hang out to dry. The lanolin in the woolies will help the wool turn the urine into salt water. If the woolie starts to smell like urine after it is dry then you should wash and re-lanolize.
