Parents try to spend as much time outdoors with their children as possible, so the baby regularly spends several hours a day in the stroller. That is why choosing the right stroller is so important. Keep in mind that during walks the wheels and fabric get dirty and dust settles on the upholstery. So parents need to understand that a baby stroller should not only be comfortable but also easy to clean.
A clean stroller is the key to reliable mechanisms and a child’s healthy growth. To keep a baby stroller hygienic, looking like new, and working properly, you need to clean it regularly and know how to care for it. Parents have two options:
Take the stroller to a professional dry cleaner.
Clean the baby stroller at home.
A baby stroller needs regular care, and dry cleaning services are not cheap. That is why many parents clean their strollers at home. Depending on the model, it may take some effort to remove the parts without damaging the structure and then put them back in place. The instructions for cleaning a stroller at home are quite simple:
1. Remove the textile parts and wash them
Once you have removed the textile parts, check the fabric type. If you have the stroller manual, look there for information about the fabric type and how to wash it. If there is no manual, look for the information online.
Machine washing is possible if the manual does not forbid it. Wash the stroller fabrics on a delicate cycle at no more than 30 °C. To prevent the fabric from losing its shape, it is best to turn off the spin cycle. It is also worth adding an extra rinse to remove any detergent residue.
Hand washing protects the fabric from deformation. First, dissolve the detergent in warm water and soak all the parts for 30–60 minutes. After cleaning, be sure to rinse all the parts thoroughly. It is best to dry them flat. To preserve the colour, avoid direct sunlight.
If the material cannot be washed, use a damp cloth, dry cleaning, or a wet-and-dry vacuum cleaner.
2. Remove all stains
If you are machine washing, remove stains beforehand. The inner part of the upholstery gets dirty most often. Stains from food, drinks, and street dirt are best removed with special cleaning products. When cleaning the inside of the upholstery, avoid harsh products that could harm your child’s health and use hypoallergenic ones. Organic products are marked 0+.
3. Clean the stroller frame and chassis
The frame and chassis should be cleaned regularly to prevent corrosion, especially after walks in rainy weather. To clean them, you will need a soft cloth and warm water. If you use cleaning products, choose only those without abrasive particles. After cleaning, wipe all parts dry and let them dry completely.
4. Clean and lubricate the wheels
The wheels are usually quite easy to remove, and all you need to clean them is a brush and warm water. After cleaning, let the wheels dry completely before lubricating them. Apply the lubricant to the axle and the hub. Experts recommend using silicone and graphite lubricants.
A clean stroller keeps your baby comfortable. Regular cleaning helps protect your child’s health, reduces the risk of allergies, and keeps the stroller in good condition. It is worth noting that Anex strollers are easy to maintain and care for — the main thing is to follow the instructions.
