Maintenance and Care

Cleaning

  • Clean the crib surfaces with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap.
  • Avoid using abrasive cleaners, harsh chemicals, or furniture polish, as these can damage the finish.
  • Dry thoroughly after cleaning.

Inspection

  • Regularly inspect the crib for loose hardware, damaged parts, or sharp edges.
  • Tighten any loose bolts or fasteners immediately. Do not overtighten.
  • If any part is broken or missing, discontinue use of the crib and contact Storkcraft for replacement parts.

Storage

If storing the crib, disassemble it carefully and store all parts in a dry, temperature-controlled environment. Keep all hardware in a sealed bag to prevent loss.

Troubleshooting

  • Crib feels wobbly:

    Ensure all bolts and fasteners are securely tightened. Check that the mattress support is correctly seated in its brackets. If the issue persists, disassemble and reassemble, paying close attention to each connection.

  • Parts do not align during assembly:

    Double-check that you are using the correct parts for each step as indicated in the assembly diagrams (if available). Sometimes, parts may appear similar but have subtle differences. Ensure components are not upside down or backward.

  • Squeaking noises:

    Squeaking can often be resolved by tightening all hardware. If the noise continues, disassemble the affected area, apply a small amount of paraffin wax or silicone spray (avoiding contact with child-accessible surfaces) to the joints, and reassemble.
