Easy to clean
If you have a crib at your bedside make sure you maintain it in a clean and tidy manner. This can help decrease the risk of skin allergies, sinus irritation and respiratory problems. Wash the sheets every two weeks and the crib body on a monthly schedule. Cleaning will also prevent buildup of mold and mildew, which can cause smells. Make sure that your baby's room is clean to ensure that they are healthy and happy.
Check that your crib meets all applicable safety requirements of the federal and state levels. Also, ensure that all screws are tightened prior to use. Avoid placing bedside baby bed , pillows or pillow-like stuffed animals, bumper pads, mobiles and soft blankets in your baby's crib. They could get entangled and cause suffocation. Also, take off necklaces and bibs to keep them from getting caught in window blind and drape cords.
It is easy to clean the foldable crib by washing it in your washing machine with laundry detergent. Follow the cycle's instructions. You should still disinfect any crib parts that cannot be machine washed. Check the user's manual if you're not sure about the correct cleaning procedures.
