Nursery Cleaning Checklist for New Parents
Babies breathe air at floor level. They put hands on crib rails and changing table surfaces. Strong cleaners leave residue that can harm a newborn. Fragrance-free, plant-based products are the safer choice. Alex's Cleaning Service uses products that are free of harsh fragrances. The team avoids aerosol sprays in rooms where babies sleep.
Changing Table Surface and Mat
Wipe the table surface after each use. Clean the mat with a diluted baby-safe cleaner. Rinse and dry the mat fully before use.
Carpet and Floor Dust Mites
Vacuum carpet with a HEPA-filter vacuum at least twice a week. Dust mites live deep in carpet fibers. Hot water washing of crib sheets weekly reduces mite levels.

Product Choices That Matter in a Nursery
Avoid aerosol sprays in the nursery. Fine droplets stay in the air far longer than liquids applied with a cloth. Choose cleaners with short, clear ingredient lists. Look for EPA Safer Choice certification when buying disinfectants for the changing mat.
HVAC vent covers in the nursery need attention every month. Dust from the vent blows directly toward a sleeping baby. Remove the cover and rinse it in the sink. Replace it only after it is fully dry. Alex's team notes this step on every nursery clean.
