Why does my wool duvet smell slightly?
Wool contains natural lanolin, which can sometimes have a mild odor. This is normal and usually dissipates with airing. Ensure the duvet is properly aired after washing.
Is this duvet suitable for babies who overheat easily?
Merino wool's breathability and moisture-wicking properties make it an excellent choice for babies who tend to overheat, as it helps to regulate their body temperature naturally.
Troubleshooting
Duvet feels lumpy or uneven.
Gently shake and air the duvet. If machine washed, ensure it was not over-agitated. For persistent lumps, professional wool care might be needed.
Baby seems too hot or too cold.
Adjust the room temperature and consider the baby's sleepwear. While the duvet regulates temperature, extreme external conditions may require adjustments. Ensure the duvet cover is breathable.
Duvet has a slight odor after storage.
Air the duvet outdoors in a shaded, well-ventilated area for a few hours. The natural lanolin in wool can sometimes have a subtle scent that dissipates with airing.
Duvet has a small stain.
Spot clean the affected area immediately with a damp cloth and mild wool detergent. Rinse gently and air dry.
