Wool Ones Wash - need Lanolin too?

I want to wash and lanolize my soakers and skirtie. The WOW instructions just say that it doesn't need to be rinsed out... but are they lanolized then? Or do I need to lanolize them while they're still wet?

I have solid lanolin and lanolin spray... What I'm thinking right now is that I might just touch them up with the spray when they're done.

what I do is to wash with a lanolize soap,then I rise the soaker only one time  you just need to let the water run on the container that you are using to lanolize the soaker,then you must lanolize the soaker after you finish washing it.just remember not to rub or squeeze the soaker other ways it will wet felted and big also you need to wash it one a month or if the diaper is very smelly or has poo on it,in addition I don't recomment you to use the spray.

WOW has lanolin in it.  I find that just using WOW provides enough lanolin for my wool.  However, it may not be enough for your LO.  Try your wool after just washing with WOW - if it doesn't leak/get wet then you're probably fine; if it's damp on the outside after wearing you probably should do an additional lanolin step.  It's not necessary to rinse after using WOW.  I only use lanolin spray as needed in the wet zone in between routine washings if I don't have time to do a full lanolization.
