Disinfecting Pack n Play

RunningGal900

I was given a Pack N Play by my cousin and I'm wondering how I would go about cleaning it. It's in great shape, no stains or anything, but I'd still like to give it a once over before putting the baby in it. Any 2nd time moms or daycare workers (or anyone for that matter), have any suggestions?

Take apart whatever you can and wash it (fabrics in the wash machine, metal rods & other pieces in bleach water in teh sink) and for the rest, use Lysol wipes.

This is what I did with mine--which I bought off of Craigslist.

I don't have any Lysol wipes - but I do have some "Lysol Anywhere Spray" - do you think that would be okay?

spray it on a paper towel and then you have a Lysol wipe

Rent/buy a steamer that heats to the point of disinfecting- much safer because there's no chemicals. I use it on all DDs toys, carseats, stroller, etc. It's been a great investment.

Regular old Lysol spray is used in daycare centers for disinfecting hard and soft surfaces (soft toys, couches, etc), but if you do use Lysol spray (or Lysol wipes), make sure to wipe the whole thing down with plain water after to try to remove all the chemicals.

Clorox Anywhere Spray is very safe to use around kids/on kids' things, but it contains a small amount of bleach, so it might bleach out the fabric. It's safe, though.
