Wool is a natural flora as old as civilization itself.
Natural flora - wool is a keratoid tissue which in itself contains lanolin. Lanolin is a natural fat that protects the wool on us humans acting positively for several reasons. Lanolin has been known for centuries in medicine and is also used for making various anti-rheumatic and skin care creams. The most important feature of lanolin is high resistance to viruses and bacteria, since it contains certain amino acids and does not allow them to persist. Thus, the natural flora of the wool is that it keeps itself pure.
Due to lanolin, the wool maintains a constant body temperature, protecting you from cold and regulating excessive sweating. Merino wool is very good for absorbing moisture or sweat, even up to a third of its weight, at which it does not feel damp.
Because of that, wool is known as a true natural fighter against rheumatic diseases.
Maintenance
Natural wool is also a high dirt and dust-repellent and dust, and therefore it is enough to occasionally vent your blankets (pillows and floor), which seems best to do in foggy and damp weather.
In addition to airing every 2-3 years, one hand washing in the bath is quite enough. Use special shampoo for wool (with lanolin). Hand wash recommended at temperatures of up to 30°C. After washing the wool, rinse it in cold water. Do not wring your blanket. Let the water drain itself out of the tub. Be sure to hang wet sheets at a place sheltered from the sun and let it dry in the air, not in the sun or any other heat sources such as: heaters, radiators, etc. (So that existing lanolin does not burn). By no means should you wash wool bedding in the washing machine!
Your merino set may be drycleaned if it has a genuine merino wool label "P" (Perchlor - ethylene).
If you decide to change your new blanket, pillow covers, then it should be of natural materials: linen, cotton, satin, terry or even silk, but by no means, synthetic: THE NATURAL FLORA HAS TO BREATHE!
