5 tips to keep your house clean and healthy for your baby 

Keeping your home clean is more important than ever when you have a newborn baby or toddler. Babies are experts when it comes to making big messes and also love to explore – or in this case, place almost any object in their mouth -. Keeping up with dirty diapers, laundry, and a clean nursery can be difficult. Here are some helpful tips on how to keep your home clean and safe for your baby.

1.Create a sanitation station

Store sanitation supplies at an arm’s reach, this can be done near your baby’s nursery. You can set up a tray or table with antibacterial gel and paper towels. 

2.Make handwashing a priority

Cleaning your hands will protect your baby from germs and prevent you from contaminating other surfaces. Regular hand washing is hands-down the best way to keep germs from spreading. Anyone who lives or enters your home should wash their hands after coming in from outside, before eating or preparing food, after using the bathroom or changing a diaper, after playing with or caring for pets, and so on.

3.Sanitize toys regularly

Since babies explore their world with their mouths, it’s important to sanitize toys frequently, ideally once a week. Wipe each toy down with disinfectant, and then rinse them with water or a wet cloth. Hard plastic toys can even go in the dishwasher for a hands-free clean. Don’t forget about toys used at bathtime, these also need regular cleaning since dirty water can cling to all those little crannies and can become a spot for mold and mildew. 

4.Hire an eco-friendly cleaner

Eco-friendly cleaners are better for the environment and they’re better for your baby as well. Normal crawling products with VOCs can make you and your family sick. With a baby home, you need to make sure to hire a professional cleaning company that not only gets the job done right but also uses eco-friendly cleaning products. As a company certified by the Green Clean Institute, Keep It Up takes into consideration your and our staff’s health. 

5.Keep floors clean

Since babies tend to spend much of their time on the floor, regular cleaning is vital. This is especially true of carpets, which can quickly become a reservoir for dust mites and bacteria. Remove shoes before coming inside that way, so that dirt and bacteria stay at the welcome mat and not on the floors where your baby crawls and spends its days.

Having a baby home can be an adventure but it can also become stressful if your house is not clean and organized. The best way to keep it clean is to leave the deep cleaning in the hands of a professional eco-friendly cleaning company like Keep It Up. Contact us today.
