Just today I tried to lanolize a new Little Beetle merino wool cover using the method that Green Mountain Diapers suggests: Melting Lansinoh in the sink under a stream of hot water, then adding a little Eucalan, soaking it, etc. Now it seems that I have a few greasy stains on the cover from where the lanolin hadn't completely melted and soaked into the diaper in globs.

: I knew this could happen if the lanolin didn't completely dissolve and I thought I had done it correctly; alas, I guess I didn't. Any suggestions for removing the lanolin stains? Thanks!

I haven't tryed it myself but on the Sudz 'n Dudz product reviews on the pin someone mentioned that the wool wash bar did. I think if it is colored wool you need to get a Essential Oil bar not a Fragrance Oil bar.

I have heard that you can use a little Dawn dish soap on the stain. Rub gently and rinse and that should help

You might also try just putting some cornstarch on the spot - it will help absorb some of the extra lanolin. Then just wash as usual - wool wash bars are great too, its all I use.
