For spot cleaning these parts, it is advisable to use dish soap like Dawn. You can also use a gentle hand-washing detergent. Put a small quantity of detergent or soap on a clean wet cloth and rub the stains. Then rinse the cloth in pure water, blot the spot with a moist cloth till the suds subside. If possible, leave it to dry in the sun.

Start by spraying the cleaning solution onto the plain cloth. Then scrub the metallic and plastic parts of your stroller. For sticky patches and stubborn stains, you should add some more elbow grease. Ensure to dry all the metallic parts thoroughly. Because the sun may not be reliable, you can wipe these parts using a dry cloth.

• Never forget the wheels! You can use various baby wipes to wash around the rims and wheels. If the stroller has air tires, you can pump them up. Ensure you use a hand pump and don’t over inflate them. Some strollers require a small amount of air while others must be fully inflated. Check to ensure the swiveling wheels are functioning smooth and remove any obstacles.
