Maintenance

First, remove all bedding - sheets, blankets, toys and lovies from the cot and wash them according to the manufacturer's instructions. Then, vacuum the frame and slats, paying particular attention to the corners and crevices. You can disassemble the cot to access the tight spaces.

Once you've removed all bedding and bedding, mix a solution of warm water and mild baby-safe soap, then dampen a cloth and wipe the slats as well as the base of the cot. Make sure to make sure the cloth is soft, so as to not cause damage to the wood. After you have cleaned the surface, rinse it with clean water and then wipe it once more to remove any soapy remnants. Afterwards, allow the cot to completely dry before putting it back together.

Moisture is your wooden bed's silent enemy. It can lead to cracks, warping and bending. To prevent this, keep beverages on coasters and don't place potted plants directly on the bed. Make sure to lubricate and inspect all equipment regularly to ensure smooth operation.

Cleaning excessively can cause harm to your baby. Research has proven that your baby's early exposure to common environmental organisms can help them develop their immune system. It's crucial to find an equilibrium between regular cleaning and frequent disinfection.
