Mould and mildew removal

Mold is a fungus which develops on organic materials, typically in damp and dark environments. It can create a sour, musty odor and is very difficult to eliminate once it has gotten a grip. If the mould is not removed, it can continue to grow and spread. It is essential to clean the area regularly. The first step is to clean any dirt and debris that has accumulated from the fabric surface. This can be done by hand or using the vacuum cleaner that has a flexible nozzle attachment. It is also a good idea to make use of this time to clean pockets, compartments or other tiny areas of the fabric that are not accessible easily.

The next step is to clean the entire surface of the pushchair with a clean cloth, or using a scrubbing brush. It is crucial to perform this outside in a well-ventilated location, and preferably while wearing a mask to avoid breathing in any mould or spores. After the surface of the fabric has been cleaned then it can be sprayed with mildew remover or dilute white vinegar solution. Vinegar is a natural disinfectant which will not harm the fabric or other materials inside your pushchair, is a fantastic alternative. If you are unable to remove the mould, it could be necessary to dry the area and scrub it off with an air dehumidifier.

After the fabric has been cleaned, it is a good idea to allow it to dry completely before storing it. This can be done by putting the fabric in a sunny spot, and possibly by spraying with an anti-fungal product - Milton makes a great, kid-friendly one.

Cleaning

A car seat or pushchair can be a challenge to clean, especially in the event that it has been used on outdoor excursions and has tracked mud, food crumbs, and other sand. It is a good idea to remove dirt that has accumulated with crevice attachments, or employ a brush to clean out any nooks and crevices. Alternatively, convertible strollers spray on some Clorox Free and Clear Multi-Surface Spray Cleaner, or a similar product and then use a cloth to work it into any fabric section such as the basket, seat, or hood.

If you're looking to remove any marks or stains that are causing you trouble, take an examination of the instructions for cleaning to determine whether they can be washed. If you want to tackle any marks or stains, it's worth checking the care instructions to determine whether they can be washed.

If you have an infant stroller with removable fabric parts, like seats or hoods be sure to wash and dry them thoroughly.

The frame or chassis of your pushchair might require a little more attention than the fabric parts. If you notice mold spores on the plastic, you must immediately take action to stop the mould spores from spreading to your child as they sleep. This can be accomplished with water and vinegar which can break down bacteria and can be washed off. An old toothbrush is an excellent tool for getting into difficult to reach or delicate areas.

If you have stains that are resistant to removal, add a few drops of bicarbonate soda to wash or use a baking soda solution. This will not only neutralize smells, but will also help lift stains that a first wash may have missed.

Storage

A quality pushchair will come with plenty of exterior and internal storage space for all the necessities such as snacks, drinks and toys. The main compartment should be big enough to hold a laptop or tablet as well as be a smaller compartment to store small items such as phones, keys, or other baby-related items. Some pushchairs also have a hidden under seat storage which can be useful to keep these items out of sight when baby is asleep.

Some pushchairs also come with a footmuff, which is ideal for winter. However, it is crucial to ensure that the footmuff is compatible with a car seat. Also, make sure it has a hood that will shield baby from elements.

There are a variety of pushchair accessories available including rain cover and footmuff. Some of them are essential and others are optional according to your requirements.
