Maintenance If you have a hand-me-down crib or are a clean-freak there are some guidelines to follow to keep your baby's bed clean and secure. First, remove all bedding items – sheets, blankets, toys and lovies – from the cot and clean them according to the manufacturer's instructions. Vacuum the frame of your cot with particular attention to crevices and corners. If bedside crib with wheels have the ability to disassemble the cot, do it to allow you to access the narrow spaces. After taking out all bedding, use a solution of warm soapy water and mild detergent to clean the slats of the cot. Use a soft cloth to avoid damaging wood. After you've wiped the surface clean, rinse the cloth with clean water and wipe it again to get rid of any soapy residue. Allow the cot to completely dry before putting it all together. Moisture is your wooden bed's silent enemy. It can cause warping, bending and cracking. To avoid this, place beverages on coasters, and avoid putting potted plants directly on the bed. Also, make sure to regularly check and lubricate your hardware to ensure smooth operation and prevent creaking. While regular cleaning is crucial to ensure a healthy and safe environment for your baby, excessive disinfecting can actually be harmful. The early exposure to normal bacterial flora 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.
