Remove any bedding like blankets, sheets or toys that are cuddly and wash them according the instructions of the manufacturer. Then, vacuum the cot and its mattress, paying particular attention to the corners and crevices. Mattress protectors are also beneficial to in reducing the accumulation of dust mites and other bacteria. Next take a soft cloth moistened with a baby-safe cleaner spray or a natural stain remover spray to wipe down the cot. Dampen a fresh cloth regularly to clean soapy residue and keep the surface as clean as it can be. If the mattress is stained, use a gentle scrub brush to remove them and a bit of baking soda to eliminate any the lingering smells. Always test a small area of the mattress to make sure the cleaning product is safe for your child. If the cot is disassembled it can be easier to access all of its surfaces and nooks and crannies for thorough cleaning and sanitising. You can even use a solution of warm water and mild baby-safe detergent to clean the mattress and its protector. If the cot is made out of wood, you can sanitise it with a mixture of white vinegar and warm water. This natural disinfectant kills bacteria, without damaging the wood or leaving harmful residues. Test the mixture on a small portion of the wood to ensure it won't damage it. Apply the solution with a soft, clean cloth and allow it to dry before rebuilding.
