Are you tired of feeling like your Pack n Play is more grimy than glittery? Do the stains on your baby’s play yard make you feel like a terrible parent? Fear not, because we have an easy guide for cleaning your Pack n Play Sparkle. So grab some gloves and let’s get started!
1. Gather Your Supplies
Before starting any cleaning project, it's important to gather all necessary supplies beforehand. For this particular task, here are the items you'll need:
- Mild dish soap
- Vinegar
- Warm water
- Soft scrub brush or sponge
- Cloth or towel
Now that you’ve got everything prepped, let’s move on to the next step.
2. Disassemble and Clean The Mattress
The first thing you need to do when cleaning your Graco Pack N' Play® is take apart all detachable parts, especially the mattress since it likely gets dirtiest overtime.
To clean it:
- Take out loose debris such as crumbs with a vacuum cleaner and use a soft bristled brush attachment.
- In a spray bottle, combine equal parts warm water and white vinegar until well mixed.
- Spray down both sides of your mattress thoroughly but avoid saturating it entirely.
- Using our choice of either gentle scrubbing brush or spot-cleaning method, gently rub away at any spots/stains/marks/dirt with soapy solution while rinsing them off frequently by wiping clean in circular motion with cloth/towel (also soaked in hot soapy water)
- Allow time for dry completely before reassembling.
PRO TIP: If dealing with bigger/smaller messes/tones/prefer harsher cleansers could try bleach mixes for more deep cleansing effect too - just rinse carefully afterwards!)
3A) Wipe Down the Frame
While the mattress is drying, you can turn your attention to cleaning the actual frame of your Pack n Play Sparkle.
With a cloth or sponge that's been soaked in warm soapy water, wipe down all surfaces including corners and crevices thoroughly.
Follow up once done with another rinse-over of hot clean towel to make sure there are no harsh chemicals left lingering behind before proceeding back over detailing any spots/stains that still remain noticeable afterward.
3B) Addressing Tough-to-Reach Spots
Don't feel compelled to worry about getting into every possible corner however; sometimes less is better than more when it comes to cleaning tasks like these. For areas such as those hard-to-reach spaces between mesh walls and metal supports - where dirt/dust often accumulates quickly! - use spray bottle filled with vinegar/soap solution instead by spraying them generously which will help loosen embedded debris/grime much easier gotten right out even without direct contact care needed!
4) Put Everything Back Together
Once everything has had time to dry off completely, it's time (rather slightly inconvenient ...) to reassemble all parts.
PRO TIP: While putting the pack n play sparkle back together try not rush things, as misaligned pieces might be impossible for fixing without disassembling again later on.
And voila! You now have a brand new looking Graco Pack N' Play® at home!
