Clean Healthy Nursery Tips

Step 1 – Clean the Air

Airborne pollutants can enter your home through a multitude of sources. To remove some of these pollutants from the air, run your air conditioning system or the fan-only mode of your air conditioner to filter some of the particulates out of the air. Change your air conditioning filters regularly and keep air ducts clean.

Step 2 – Control the Temperature

When your baby’s nursery is either too hot or too cold, it will make it much more difficult for him or her to fall asleep\””and stay asleep. Typically, newborns have a more difficult time staying warm, so it is imperative that your baby’s environment stays at a comfortable sleeping temperature. Consider using a dedicated air conditioner in your baby’s nursery.  

Step 3 – Maintain a Healthy Humidity Level

Many nurseries are too humid in the summertime, which can spawn musty odors and mold problems, encourage the spread of dust mites and other pests, and contribute to an overall clammy feeling. Conversely, winter air, which is often too dry, can lead to bloody noses, sore throats, dry skin, respiratory issues\””and an overall uncomfortable feeling for your baby. Keep baby’s room comfortable year-round by maintaining the EPA’s recommended indoor humidity level of 45 to 50 percent.

Step 4 –Use Eco-Friendly Paint

Lots of parents-to-be wait until the last minute to paint the nursery, especially if they want to coordinate the nursery color with their baby’s gender. Before you do this, remember that fresh paints are a source of VOCs, which are toxic gas emissions linked to a host of health problems.

Step 5 – Clean Naturally

When you have a fast-moving toddler on your hands, it’s critical to keep your floors clean and germ-free. Carpeted floors add another level of concern because they are often notorious traps for dirt and allergens.  

Step 6 – Use Allergy Bedding

Dust mites, which are tiny, microscopic organisms that can trigger allergies in babies, children, and adults, thrive in moist, warm environments. That means your baby’s nursery is often the perfect climate to grow a dust mite population. To create a dust mite-free environment for your baby, consider using allergy bedding.

Step 7 – Keep Pets Out

It can be a heartwarming and interactive learning experience to introduce your baby to the family pet, under supervision of course. However, for health reasons, pets should be kept out of your baby’s nursery and his or her crib.
