Bedside cots, or cosleepers as they're also known as, are specially-designed infant sleeping solutions that allow babies to sleep with their parents without a risk of SIDS.

Bedside cots are simple to clean, particularly when using the right products. Begin by removing any bedding, like blankets, sheets or cuddly toys, and then washing them according to the manufacturer's instructions. Clean the cot thoroughly including the mattress. Pay particular attention to crevices and corners. Mattress protectors can aid in reducing the buildup of dust mites, bacteria and other germs.

Then, clean the cot using a soft cloth soaked in baby-safe cleaner or a natural stain removal spray. Always dampen a new cloth to get rid of soapy residues and keep the surfaces clean. Use a soft scrub brush to remove stains from the mattress. Baking soda can be used to eliminate lingering smells. Test the cleaning product on a small part of the mattress before applying it.
