Easy to clean
If you are using a crib for your bed it is important to maintain it in a clean and tidy manner. This will reduce health risks like sinus irritation, skin allergies and respiratory problems. Wash the sheets every two weeks and wash the main body of the crib every month. Cleaning helps prevent the growth of mold and mildew, which can lead to unpleasant odors. Keep your baby's sleeping environment clean to ensure they are healthy and happy.
Make sure that your crib meets all federal and state safety standards. Verify that all screws have been tightened prior to use of the crib. Avoid placing bumper pads, pillows, soft blankets like stuffed toys with pillows and mobiles in your infant's crib as they could get trapped in them and cause the child to suffocate. Also, remove necklaces and bibs to avoid them from being caught in window blinds and drape cords.
You can easily clean a bedside crib foldable by placing it in the washing machine with detergent for laundry and following the recommended cycle directions. However, bedside crib travel must clean any areas of the crib that are not machine washable. Check the user's manual if you are not certain of the proper cleaning methods.
