It is so important to keep the nursery clean and that’s primarily because young babies have a weaker immune system than adults, which means they are more susceptible to catching germs and infections. By keeping the nursery clean and germ-free, you are helping to reduce the risk of your baby getting sick. Secondly, babies tend to put everything in their mouths, from toys to their own hands. If these items are not cleaned regularly, they can become a breeding ground for harmful bacteria, which can lead to infections and illnesses. Lastly, a clean and well-organized nursery can help promote a calm and peaceful environment for your baby, which is important for their overall well-being.

There are various products available on the market such as spays and wipes to disinfect surfaces and the choice is often down to preference. However, it's important to choose a disinfectant that is safe for use around babies and children. At Baby City we stock leading brands in child care that are safe to be used in the nursery and are alcohol and bleach free; whilst still being effective against 99.9% of germs, including viruses.

Using a cleanser that is specifically designed for baby bottles ensures that residue such as milk protein is completely cleared, reducing the risk of infections and illnesses, which mass market cleaners are not designed to target. These also tend to be fragrance free with no chemical residue so of course a much safer option for baby’s delicate immune system.

When it comes to washing baby clothes, using an antibacterial laundry cleanser can provide added protection and peace of mind. These cleansers are specifically designed to kill bacteria and other harmful germs that may be lurking on your baby's clothes. Given their undeveloped immune systems, this is especially important for little ones who may have more dribble, spit up, spills, accidents or using reusable nappies.
