Preparing a Nursery: A Non-Toxic Deep Clean

A nursery is the one room where residue matters as much as visible cleanliness, because everything in it ends up in a mouth.

What matters, and why.

Residue, not just toxicity

A product can be non-toxic and still leave a film a crawling child picks up. Low-residue and thorough rinsing matter as much as the safety rating on the bottle.

Order of work

Ceiling and cornice, light fittings and fan blades, then walls, then furniture, then floor. Working downward means nothing settles onto what you have finished.

Before the cot arrives

New furniture off-gasses. Assembling and airing it for a week before the room is occupied does more than any cleaning afterwards.

Timing with the AC

Filters and the return grille cleaned before the room is used, not after. Whatever is in the system otherwise lands in the nursery on day one.

If this is something you would rather hand over, our non-toxic deep cleaning is scoped at an inspection and confirmed in writing before any work begins. We will also tell you when a job does not need us.

Questions

Answered plainly.

With low-residue products, once surfaces are dry, typically within the hour. We state the wait before we start.

Not necessarily. Extraction removes most of what concerns parents, and a washable rug over hard floor is a reasonable compromise.

For many nursery surfaces, yes. Dry steam sanitises with almost no chemistry, though it is wrong for laminate and unsealed timber.
