What exactly is lanolin, you might ask? Lanolin is a greasy, sticky, yellow substance that is naturally made by sheep to keep their wool coat soft and dry. Lanolin also helps to prevent bacteria from growing. It is naturally antibacterial. It is made from a mixture of cholesteral and fatty acids. The wool is sheared off of the sheep at least once a year. It is then cleaned and the lanolin is then extracted. The best things about lanolin is that it is completely biodegradable, it is natural and no sheep are hurt in the process of making lanolin. Since it keeps sheep dry it will act the same with your covers. Lanolin also reacts with your baby's urine to neutralize it, kind of like a soap. In a way they are self cleaning. Because of this you only need to re-lanolize every 3 weeks or so.
Since you must lanolize your wool, why not lanolize it with the best! Sheepish Grins is the best lanolin and wool care products I have used.
