Merino Wool Baby Mattress Protector

The multi-layer structure

We are using bates of wool that are wave-shaped and multi-layer arranged. This way, we can prevent overcrowding or the migration of the wool inside the product. 

Caring for your wool mattress protector: 

Our Valeria Home Merino Wool Collection is entirely natural, so shouldn't need cleaning often (simply airing it out can do the world of good). When the weather is appropriate, expose the products to sunlight to wick away the natural moisture that appeared overnight. Furthermore, it should be taken into account that UV light is a high-power disinfectant.

We would recommend spot cleaning only or gentle machine wash - special wool program with special wool detergent. 
Do not tumble dry.

Lanolin- the wool’s scent

The merino wool that we use for our Valeria Home products is a pure natural ecological wool, 100% pure. Our wool is obtained from sheep that are raised with no antibiotics, hormones, or other chemical treatments. For the cleaning and washing process, we have replaced the usual detergents with ecological ones to prevent vegetation, dust, and excess fat. The result confines in a noble, clean wool that does not have its characteristic pungent odor.

We do not clean the wool by soaking it in sulfuric acid to remove the vegetable matter from the wool. Usually, this sulfuric-acid bath removes the lanolin, the substance responsible for the therapeutic benefits of the wool.

In our cleaning process, the vegetable matter that remains in the wool is removed once again using a special mechanic technology for combing the wool.

The wool we are using in our Valeria Home products has lanolin in the fibers. Lanolin has its characteristic odor, ”wool smell”, which in time fades (during the first weeks). The smell of the lanolin represents a certainty of the therapeutic benefits of the products made out of wool.

We do recommend the ventilation of the products 24-48 hours before the first use, in sunlight.
