Alternative to steaming?

Just wondering if anyone can give me an alternative to steaming. Due my 3rd baby in October and would ideally like to give my co sleeping cot and pram a good steam clean before use. I don't have a steamer and I don't really want to spend £100+ only to use it twice. Any advice would be really appreciated.

Bicarb of soda - sprinkle on dry and give it a good hoover. Or make a bicarb and white vinegar paste for any stubborn marks/manky bits.

If steam still looks the best bet after that, do you have a Library of Things near you? You can borrow items by the day, and the price rarely goes above £10 per day.

If that isn't available to you, I bought a hand-held steamer off Amazon for about £30 and I use it all the time now - clothing (to freshen stuff I don't want to wash/dry clean and instead of ironing) as well as cleaning.

Thanks @BigSkies2022 I will try all of the things you've mentioned.
