Wool Pieces
How frequently should I wash a wool blanket?
The wool blankets should be dry cleaned only. Given the anti microbial and anti bacterial properties of this natural fiber and that is it is naturally odor resistant less cleaning is necessary. We recommend shaking them out and/or hanging to refresh.
Should I brush the wool blanket?
Extra fine Merino wool should only be brushed with a natural soft bristle brush. Brush down in one direction.
How can I get my blanket to drape as in the photos?
We recommend shaking the blanket and laying it on a flat surface to spread out. Thereafter, pinch and gather in a central area and from there drape and fold in your preferred way. They will land beautifully.
Ceramic Pieces
Can I put the ceramic pieces in the oven?
No, they are not oven safe.
Can I put the ceramic pieces in the microwave or the dishwasher?
They are microwave and dishwasher safe but due to their individual handmade creation we fully recommend handwashing with a mild soap and to store in the 100% cotton dust bag.
Can I put the ceramic pieces on a grill?
No, we do not recommend putting them on a grill.
Body Oil
Why is the bottle for the body oils in glass?
We believe that glass is a much healthier vessel than plastic. Glass is inert. This vessel will preserve and increase the wellness value of our 100% botanical blend body oils infused with essential oil.
Is the top of the body oil real wood?
Yes it is real wood.
Can I use body oil on dry or wet skin?
The body oils can be used on both dry and wet skin. For wet skin we recommend first to pat dry the skin so it is damp instead of very wet. This will help the absorption.
Are these body oils intended to be fragrant?
No they are not. Please also note the term fragrance on any product indicates a synthetic component. Rioja Holistic Home body oils are 100% botanical blends infused with essential oils, one with lavender and the other rosemary. Upon application, they have beautiful aromas that support wellness. Thereafter have a quick absorption rate and a light texture and are not meant to be used as a fragrance.
Are these body oils greasy?
No they are not. The light texture combined with the quick absorption make them very well received by many users.
