Also, just as a guide, I generally use about 1/2-1 inch out of the tube per cover I'm lanolizing.
I use small baby food jars filled with water, add the lanolin and microwave it until it's melted. Then I add about 1/4 of a teaspoon of baby wash to the jar, cover, and CAREFULLY shake it to combine. I then add this to cool water in a large bowl-enough for the cover to swish around easily-mix it well, and add the cover. I like to do it inside out, so the heavier lanolin is on the inside, where's it's needed most. I swish it around for a minute to saturate the cover well, and then let it soak for about 30-45 minutes. When I take it out, I grab it by the waist, so the water flows through the bottom to give it one last dose of lanolin, then a gently, but firmly squeeze the water out. Then I roll it in a towel, walk on it, and set it to dry.
If you're frustrated by how long your covers are taking to dry, you could try placing them by a fan, which will speed it up. I know some people lay them over a heater or vent, but I'm wary of doing that because of the possibility of shrinkage.
Hope this helps!
