Is my home clean enough? Will my baby get sick my house isn't spotless? How often should I clean baby’s things? What will I clean my baby gear with?
These are some of the questions you might be asking yourself Mama, especially if it’s germ season. Here’s the run-down on how you can keep baby’s environment clean.
What baby items should I clean daily?
Newborns will be making all sorts of messes from blowouts to spit up, so get ready to do a lot of laundry. Don’t be surprised when your little one has to have multiple outfit changes daily!
Visibly soiled items, such as onesies, bibs, swaddles, and burp cloths should be cleaned immediately to prevent bacteria growth.
Noodle & Boo’s Ultra-Safe Laundry Detergent is tough on all sorts of stains yet gentle on baby’s dainties. Our plant-based formula contains strong stain-fighting enzymes to naturally remove stains and odors. Plus, our baby laundry detergent is hypoallergenic, which is perfect for little ones with sensitive skin!
Why You Should Pre-Wash Baby Gear
While they may look clean and pristine, baby clothing and baby gear are not always free of germs and bacteria. Products could have been waiting in storage where they collected dust. It’s important to wash or thoroughly clean new items you will use for baby.
How to wash baby bibs
Baby bibs tend to have snaps or Velcro closures, which can snag on other garments during washing. We recommend putting small baby accessories such as bibs, bows, and socks in a laundry bag. That way, they don’t mysteriously disappear.
Cleaning Baby Gear
For baby items that can’t be washed, use Noodle & Boo’s Ultra-Bright Bleach Alternative. Add 1 scoop (1/2 ounce) to a bucket of hot water. Wipe down play mats, toys, strollers, high chairs and more!
Pacifiers, teething toys, and bottles should also be cleaned daily to prevent the growth of bacteria. Cleaning during the busy newborn stage is hard, but Noodle & Boo's home collection helps makes it easier. If you really aren't able to clean up, you can quickly refresh your home with our Ultra-Fresh Linen Mist.
The CDC suggests drying baby feeding items like bottles, brushes, and basins on a clean dish towel or paper towel. A drying rack may potentially trap moisture. (source)
Bulky items, such as infant car seats, can be spot cleaned. It’s inevitable that your little one will leave lots of crumbs and food stains. For the glaring stains, use Noodle & Boo’s Ultra-Strong Stain Remover.
How to clean baby toys
During bath time, germs are the last thing on our mind but gunk can build up in toys over time. In a pinch, you can use Noodle & Boo’s Ultimate Cleansing Cloths to wipe down toys that need a quick clean!
Cleaning Baby Bedding
Keep baby’s crib or sleeping area simple. You’ll want to wash baby’s sheets and even the mattress pad in the wash once a week. Even if baby’s bed looks clean, there could be irritants hiding under the surface. Dust or leaks which can’t be visible to the naked eye could irritate baby.
For baby bedsheets, Noodle & Boo’s Ultra-Safe Laundry Detergent and Ultra-Soft Fabric Conditioner will help refresh baby bedding. For hard-to-clean furniture in baby’s room such as a rocking chair or rug, our Ultra-Fresh Linen Mist will have your nursery smelling good as new!
Remember, only baby should be in the bed during their first year. Pillows, blankets, loveys and other soft objects can wait.
We hope these new beginnings with your new addition are full of happiness and joy. With these tips we hope that cleaning up gets a whole lot easier!
