Sunning wool? Bamboo?

in Cloth Diapering
Our oldest recently toilet trained and I'm trying to put away or destash the items that are too big for the babies.

We have 2 wool covers. One has some pretty bad urine stains. The other has unidentified (food/dirt??) stains on the outside. Will these sun out?

Also, there are 2 sbish ON diapers with poop stains. I've been sunning but it doesn't seem to work like it does with the cotton. Keep trying? Or lost cause?

    I'm not positive…but I don't think you're supposed to sun wool.  the heat can damage the fibers

    I have a vague sense I may have read that before. Anyone tried it? (The urine stain is pretty yucky).

    For the other diaper, try adding lemon juice before sunning. You'll have to rewash it after, but it can help the effectiveness of the sun.

    Thanks! I'll try the lemon juice.

    Both covers are off white- I'm not worried about fading- I think I'll chance it but would love to know if anyone has any experience with this.
