Quick answer
Wipe down the padded seat and tray after every meal with a damp cloth and mild soap, then deep-clean the harness and crevices weekly to prevent buildup.
Why regular cleaning matters
Your highchair collects crumbs, sticky spills, and bacteria over time. A quick daily wipe prevents stains from setting and keeps the five-point harness free of grime that could irritate your baby's skin. Weekly deep-cleaning also stops food from hardening in crevices, which can make the folding mechanism stiff.
Both My Babiie highchairs have wipeable padded seats, so you don't need special cleaners — just mild dish soap and warm water. Avoid bleach or abrasive sponges that can damage the fabric coating.
Step-by-step cleaning routine
- After each meal: wipe the seat and tray: Remove the tray and wipe the padded seat, harness straps, and tray with a damp cloth and a drop of mild dish soap. Rinse the cloth and wipe again to remove soap residue. Dry with a soft towel. Common mistake: using too much soap leaves a sticky film that attracts more crumbs. Use just a drop.
- Weekly: deep-clean the harness and crevices: Unbuckle the five-point harness and wipe each strap individually with a damp soapy cloth, paying attention to the buckle slots. Use a soft toothbrush to dislodge crumbs from the seat creases and tray clip area. Check that the harness buckle clicks firmly after cleaning — food residue can make it stick.
- Monthly: wash removable parts and check hardware: If your model has a removable seat pad, machine-wash it on a gentle cycle (cold water, mild detergent) and air-dry. Wipe the frame legs and castors with a damp cloth. Lubricate folding joints with a silicone spray if they start to squeak. Never put the harness straps in the washing machine — the webbing can fray. Spot-clean only.
