Maintenance

If you have a second-hand crib, or if you're a clean-freak, there are a few tips to follow to keep your baby's bed clean and safe. Remove all bedding from the crib, including sheets, blankets and toys and wash according to the directions of the manufacturer. Vacuum the frame of your cot and pay particular focus on corners and crevices. If you have the ability to disassemble the cot, then do so to enable you to get into the tight spaces.

Once you've taken out all bedding, mix a solution of warm water and mild baby-safe detergent, then use a damp cloth to clean the slats and base of the cot. Use a soft cloth to avoid damaging wood. After wiping the surface, wash it off with clean water and wipe it over again to get rid of any soapy remnants. Allow the cot to completely dry before putting it together.

The bed's moisture can be its silent enemy. It can lead to cracks, warping and bending. To prevent this, place beverages on coasters. Also avoid placing potted plants directly on the bed. Also, make sure to regularly check and lubricate hardware to ensure smooth operation and to prevent creaking.

While regular cleaning is vital to ensure a healthy environment for your baby, constant cleaning can be detrimental. Research has proven that your baby's early exposure to common environmental organisms can aid in the development of their immune system. This is why it's best to strike a balance between frequent cleaning and periodic disinfection.
