CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS FOR HARD MANUFACTURING 
 

               CRIBS, BEDS & MATTRESSES



Any type of cleaner containing ammonia, alcohol, bleach or any other chemical that is 

abrasive should never be used on our cribs or beds for any reason.



We suggest the use of a cleaner such as one that contains Quaternary Ammonium   

Chloride (Quats). Quats will both clean the crib or bed as well as disinfect it without         
oxidizing the epoxy coating.

MATTRESSES



HARD Manufacturing recommends the cribs and beds be washed by hand with a 

non-abrasive cleaner of your facility’s choice and then thoroughly dried with a soft cloth or 
towel. Our equipment should never be placed in a machine for cleaning or subject to steam 
guns or pressure washers of any kind.  Do not allow the crib or bed to air dry as pools of 
water left on the mattress pan surface or near bolt holes may eventually lead to premature 
corrosion.

CRIBS OR BEDS



Mattresses should always be allowed to dry in a 

fl

 at position, never in an upright position. 

Failure to keep the mattress 

fl

 at during the drying process could lead to the foam inside the 

cover to shift, creating permanent damage/lumps in the mattress.



Mattresses should never be put back on the crib if the cover is not thoroughly dry. 

Failure to do so may cause premature corrosion on the pan mattress surface.

VINYL CURTAINS

Please note failure to follow the recommended cleaning guidelines stated by      
HARD Manufacturing can cause permanent damage to the crib/bed and/or mattress 
which will not be covered under warranty.
