Question from RedondoSun
I bought a ‘natural’ crib sized futon and had it shipped for our baby daughter to sleep on. I wasn’t able to obtain a doctor’s note in order to purchase an all organic one, so I just went ahead and ordered the one with a layer of boric acid in it. Once we got it, I wasn’t so sure it was safe. I bought a mattress wrap for it, but it has been sitting in our closet. I opted to just use the spring mattress from our oldest daughter and kept the wrap on that. Sorry to draw this out, but my ultimate question is, Is there a way to ‘wear out’ the boric acid within the futon? Does it dissipate over time or would you recommend I just get rid of it? I have found so much great information on here and refer your site and newsletters to all my friends and family. Thank you for making this wonderful information available to us!

I’m not aware that boric acid wears out over time. If you’re feeling uncertain about using it, just get rid of it.
