(Detailed Guide for the Care and Maintenance of Merino Wool and Ranforce Cotton Products)

LanaWool products are made from natural merino wool and ranforce cotton, natural materials known for their breathability, temperature regulation, and comfort during sleep.

Wool is a natural fiber with unique properties: it is breathable, naturally antibacterial, and capable of regulating moisture. Thanks to these properties, wool products require less frequent washing than synthetic products.

Proper care helps preserve the natural properties of wool and extends the lifespan of the products.

General Care Recommendations

Regular Airing

Wool naturally refreshes itself when exposed to fresh air.

Recommendations:

• air the products every 2–4 weeks
• ideally outdoors, in a dry and well-ventilated area
• avoid direct and prolonged exposure to strong sunlight
• gently shake the product to redistribute the fibers

Airing helps with:

• removing accumulated moisture
• refreshing the fibers
• maintaining the natural loft of the wool

Using Protective Bedding

To keep the product clean and reduce the need for washing:

• use duvet covers for duvets
• use pillowcases for pillows
• wash bedding regularly according to textile care instructions
• allow LanaWool products to air out without bedding for a few hours between bedding changes

Bedding protects the product from sweat, dust, and dirt.

Avoiding Prolonged Compression

Wool fibers are naturally elastic and maintain their structure well.

However, to preserve the product’s loft:

• avoid storing products in a compressed state for long periods
• if the product has been compressed (for example during packaging), shake it gently and air it out for several hours to allow the fibers to regain their natural shape

Stain Removal

For small or localized stains:

• blot the area with a clean, slightly damp cloth
• use a gentle wool detergent if necessary
• avoid aggressive rubbing

After cleaning:

• allow the product to dry naturally in a well-ventilated space, preferably in sunlight
• do not use high-temperature dryers

Washing Wool Products

Wool products do not require frequent washing, as wool naturally repels odors and dirt.

If washing is necessary:

• use a wool wash program
• maximum temperature: 30°C
• use a detergent specially designed for wool
• avoid strong spinning (maximum 600/800 rpm)

Do not use:

• bleach
• harsh detergents
• high temperatures
• intensive wash cycles

In many cases, professional wool cleaning is recommended for large products (such as duvets).

Do Not Apply Perfume or Fragranced Sprays to the Products

Applying perfume, textile fresheners, or fragranced sprays directly onto wool products is not recommended.

These products may contain alcohol, volatile chemicals, or dyes that can:

• affect the structure of the natural fibers
• cause stains or material discoloration
• alter the natural properties of the wool

For refreshing, airing the products is recommended.

For a pleasant scent during storage, natural solutions such as dried lavender or cedar wood may be used.

Care Instructions for Wool Duvets

LanaWool duvets are designed to provide natural thermal comfort and excellent breathability, while the diamond stitching ensures very good and even wool distribution across the entire surface of the duvet.

Usage Recommendations

• always use a duvet cover
• air the duvet regularly
• gently shake it to evenly redistribute the fibers

Cleaning

If cleaning is necessary, professional wool cleaning or gentle washing according to the textile care instructions is recommended.

• use a wool wash program
• maximum temperature: 30°C
• use a detergent specially designed for wool
• avoid strong spinning (maximum 600/800 rpm)

Care Instructions for LanaWool Pillows

LanaWool pillows are equipped with a zippered cover that allows access to the wool ball filling.

This system allows:

• adjustment of the pillow firmness
• separate airing of the filling
• easier maintenance

Adjusting Pillow Firmness

The support level of the pillow can be adjusted.

To adjust it:

• open the zipper of the cover
• remove or add a small amount of filling
• close the zipper

The remaining filling can be stored in a clean textile bag for future use.

Airing the Filling

To maintain volume and freshness:

• remove the filling from the pillow
• air it out in a dry and ventilated space
• gently shake the fibers
• place the filling back into the cover

This process helps refresh the fibers, maintain the elasticity of the wool, and prevent compaction.

Washing the Pillow Cover

Since the pillow cover is made from ranforce cotton, it can be washed more easily than the wool filling.

Recommendations:

• washing temperature: 40–60°C
• normal cotton wash program
• regular laundry detergent
• moderate spinning

For deeper sanitization, washing at 60°C is safe for ranforce cotton.

After washing:

• the cover may be air dried or tumble dried at a moderate temperature
• it can be ironed at a temperature suitable for cotton

Important

The wool ball filling of the pillows should not be machine washed, as the wool fibers may compact and lose their natural properties.

Product Storage

If the products are not used for a longer period:

• store them in a dry and ventilated space
• use textile bags or boxes that allow air circulation
• avoid completely airtight plastic bags

The wool is already treated against pests; however, for additional natural protection against moths, dried lavender or cedar wood may be used.

Recommendation for Maintaining Natural Properties

Wool is a natural fiber that maintains its optimal properties when it is:

• aired regularly
• used under normal conditions
• maintained with gentle care products

By following these recommendations, LanaWool products can maintain their comfort, breathability, and durability for a long time.
