Maintenance

If you have a secondhand crib or are an organized person here are some helpful tips to ensure your baby is safe and hygienic. Take all bedding off the crib including blankets, sheets and toys, and wash according to the directions of the manufacturer. Then, vacuum the frame and slats, paying special attention to the corners and crevices. If you have the ability to disassemble the cot, do it to allow you to access the narrow spaces.

After you have removed all bedding, mix a solution of warm water and mild baby-safe detergent, then wet a cloth and wipe the slats as well as the base of the cot. Make sure to make sure the cloth is soft, so that it doesn't harm the wood. After you've cleaned the surface then rinse the cloth in clean water and then wipe it again to remove any soapy residue. Let the cot completely dry before putting it together.

Moisture is your bed's silent enemy. It can cause warping, bending, and cracking. To prevent this, keep beverages on coasters and don't place potted plants directly on the bed. Check and lubricate all hardware regularly to ensure smooth operation.

Obsessive cleaning can harm your baby. Early exposure to the normal bacteria in the environment can help your child build up his immune system. This is why it's best to find a balance between frequent cleaning and periodic disinfection.
