No castle farm you don't have to soak them in borax but you DO need them clean.....otherwise the smell and grease will cause a problem....esp if you wish to sell your house at any time in the future

Borax is used as an anti moth agent but we know and have found misting on borax, neem and tee tree will work too....but nothing is perfect against anything....including mice!!

The huge problem is that to make sheepswool insulation, clean wool is needed and that means scouring (washing) and drying it and then fluffing it up so it traps air...the key to insulation! This is an incredibly expensive business...believe me I know

and in this country with our fab environmental policies, minimum wage and H&S etc etc the costs are fair and true.....makes small scale businesses like mine very difficult to run with any profit, but do not exploit people or degrade ecosystems....!
