Complete Child's Bedroom Cleaning Checklist

A 12-step guide to thoroughly cleaning a nursery or child’s room in just a few hours, or over a few days.

  • Dust the furniture. Wipe down the crib or bed and all other furniture with cleaner and a cloth.
  • Clean the upholstery. Dust any upholstered pieces—such as a rocking-chair cushion, an ottoman, or beanbag chairs—with a moistened cloth. Or gently go over the fabric with a dry-cleaning sponge.
  • Sanitize the changing table and diaper pail. Use all-purpose cleaner and a cloth. Wipe down any baby products sitting on the table with a cloth.
