FAQs
What makes Merino wool suitable for babies?
Merino wool is exceptionally fine and soft, making it non-itchy and comfortable against delicate baby skin. It's also naturally breathable, hypoallergenic, and temperature-regulating, ensuring comfort in various conditions.
How often should I wash the baby rug?
Wash only when necessary. Spot clean minor spills. For a full wash, use a gentle wool cycle at 30°C with sheepskin detergent. Over-washing can reduce the lifespan of the wool fibres.
Can I use a regular washing machine on a wool setting?
While a wool setting is better than a standard cycle, it's strongly recommended to use a specific 'gentle wool cycle' and a dedicated sheepskin detergent to best preserve the wool's natural properties and softness.
Is the rug safe for babies with allergies?
Yes, natural sheep wool is generally hypoallergenic and antibacterial. However, if your baby has specific wool sensitivities, it's always best to consult with a healthcare professional.
What are the dimensions of the baby rug?
The rug dimensions are approximately 85 cm in length, 45 cm in width, and 2.5 cm in height.
Can I put the rug in a tumble dryer?
No, never tumble dry the sheepskin rug. High heat will damage the wool fibres and the leather backing. Always air dry it away from direct heat or sunlight.
Will the rug help with my baby's sensory development?
Yes, the unique soft, dense, and varied texture of the wool fibres provides a rich tactile experience that can stimulate a baby's senses and encourage exploration.
Troubleshooting
Rug feels stiff after washing.
Ensure you used a wool-specific or sheepskin detergent. Re-wash on a gentle wool cycle with the correct detergent and air dry.
Wool appears matted or clumpy.
This can happen if washed at too high a temperature or with the wrong detergent. Gentle brushing once dry may help separate fibres. For future washes, strictly adhere to the 30°C gentle wool cycle and sheepskin detergent.
Slight odour after storage.
Air the rug out in a well-ventilated area. Natural wool can sometimes retain moisture or odours if stored in damp conditions. A gentle shake and airing should resolve this.
