Baby strollers have become increasingly common nowadays, considered an indispensable item in households with young children. In this article, Mytour shares knowledge on cleaning techniques for baby strollers.
Cleaning baby strollers is actually not difficult. If moms clean them properly, it only takes about 15-20 minutes to thoroughly clean all parts of the stroller. However, in reality, most moms still overlook this issue or do not know how to disassemble and clean each part. To clean the stroller for your child, follow these 3 simple steps:
Step 1: Clean the wheels of the baby stroller
The wheels of the baby stroller can be considered one of the first parts to get dirty. Moms should clean them before moving on to other parts. Imagine taking your baby out for a walk or outdoor activities, where exposure to rain, wind, and mud is inevitable. The wheels will be very dirty if not cleaned before bringing the stroller back home or storing it. If left uncleaned for a long time, they can become sticky and the wheel axles may corrode. Therefore, moms should clean the stroller wheels before considering cleaning other parts.
Moms can use a hose to spray water vigorously on all 4 wheels of the baby stroller to remove surface dirt and mud. Then, use a brush to scrub the wheels thoroughly to completely remove any dirt and mud stuck in the crevices. For the wheel axles, moms should use a damp cloth to wipe off any dirt sticking to them.
Step 2: Cleaning the parts of the stroller's seatbelt and canopy
For the canopy part of the baby stroller, simply use a soft broom to brush off the dust. As for the seat cushion and seatbelt parts, you can detach them by removing the Velcro strips on the left and right sides of the stroller. Then, you can wash them clean with detergent. However, for strollers like seebaby, combi, aprica, joovy, or Zaracos strollers, both hand and machine washing are suitable. But for those who have purchased low-quality Chinese strollers with unknown brands and origins, it's advisable to hand wash instead of machine wash. This is because the seat cushions of these strollers are often made of inferior fabric materials, which can easily become rough and wrinkled if machine washed.
Step 3: Cleaning the stroller frame and food tray
After cleaning the above two parts, proceed to clean the frame and food tray of the baby stroller. For the food tray, you can detach it and wash it with water. Remember, the food tray is an important part for holding the baby's food and drinks, so avoid using any chemicals to clean it. During this stage, babies are still delicate and prone to injuries. Using chemical cleaners on the food tray is one of the common mistakes some mothers make.
Also, pay attention to the stroller frame. Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe off any dirt or dust on the frame. Typically, stroller frames are made of aluminum alloy or steel alloy. If they come into frequent contact with chemicals, they may undergo oxidation and corrosion. Therefore, refrain from using chemical cleaners to clean the frame.
These are the three basic steps to properly clean the baby stroller, which are simple and easy to follow. Generally, it's recommended to clean the stroller every six months. Also, avoid leaving the stroller in damp areas as it can cause fabric parts like the cushion, canopy, and safety belts to develop mold, while the frame and wheels may rust.
