HERE FOR YOU
As a parent, you’ve thoughtfully invested in high-quality BabyRest products to create a safe, comfortable nursery for your little one. Great decision! Babies and toddlers can be messy (to say the least!), but with proper care, these essentials can stand the test of time, ensuring your baby sleeps soundly, plays safely and enjoys the ultimate comfort.
Let’s dive into how to keep each of your BabyRest products fresh, clean and in great shape year-round. After all, like most things in life, if you take care of them, they last and last.
Sleeping Essentials
DuoCore Cot Mattress
Your baby spends a significant portion of their early months on their cot mattress, making cleanliness essential for their health and comfort. The DuoCore mattress features a removable, washable cover and a durable core designed to last.
Cleaning tips:
-
Spot-clean the mattress core with a sponge and warm water. Avoid excess moisture and dry it flat in the shade.
-
Machine wash the removable cover on a gentle cycle at up to 30°C. Line dry it or use a gentle tumble dry setting.
-
Why it matters: Keeping the mattress clean reduces the build-up of bacteria, and mould - all of which can affect your baby’s breathing and overall health.
Cots and Chests
BabyRest cots and chests are built to be sturdy and practical, but regular maintenance ensures they remain safe and beautiful for years to come.
Cleaning tips:
-
Wipe the surfaces regularly with a damp cloth. For deeper cleaning, use a gentle household cleaner.
-
Periodically check all bolts and screws to ensure they’re fastened tightly, as they can become loose over time (especially with a bouncy toddler!).
-
Check the drawers of the chest to ensure they open and close smoothly. Listen for any unusual sounds that might indicate the runners need attention. Clean out crumbs or dust from the runners using a small brush, and occasionally apply a light spray of non-toxic, domestic-grade silicone lubricant to keep them operating effortlessly.
-
Why it matters: A clean, well-maintained cot ensures a safer sleeping environment while extending the life of your furniture.
Alfie Bedside Bassinet
The Alfie Bedside Bassinet is your baby’s first sleeping space, designed for convenience and closeness. Its washable sides and sturdy frame make cleaning a breeze.
Cleaning tips:
-
Wipe the frame with mild soap and water using a soft cloth.

If needed, remove and wash the sides for a thorough refresh. Hand wash or use a soft machine wash with cold water and a gentle cycle.
