Newborns and young children are very susceptible to respiratory tract infections caused by viruses and bacteria lurking on objects that children come into contact with every day. So how can we protect children from health threats that are always lurking everywhere? The simplest and most effective way is to clean and disinfect everything that children can contact, including utensils and toys. Only in this way can we minimize the risk of danger and prevent infection in children better.
Guide on how to clean utensils and toys for babies
1. Clothes

3. Stroller
The stroller is another item that needs to be cleaned. Some brands can remove fabric parts and wash them in the washing machine, but some cannot. Therefore, you can clean it with a damp cloth mixed with mild soap. However, we don’t need to clean the carrier after each use. Just take care of it regularly, don’t leave it too long. The shopping basket area is a frequently touched point, you can use a wet cloth to wipe or spray disinfectant and then wipe it clean with a cloth or paper towel.
4. Car seats
For car seats, mix warm water with soap. Then dip a clean cloth into the mixture and squeeze until it is damp. Wipe the entire seat, including the back and seat belts. When you’re done, let the seat dry, vacuum up dirt and excess food before reassembling. This should be done regularly or whenever the child gets dirty. The important thing is that you should read the instructions on the label carefully.

10. Baby utensils
Washing baby utensils such as plates, bowls, cups, and spoons is similar to washing adult utensils. It can be washed by hand or with baby dish soap. Or if you have a dishwasher, just put the baby’s utensils in it and you’re done. But the important thing is to wash all the containers right after use to prevent bacteria buildup.
