Easy to clean
Regular maintenance and cleaning will keep your stroller in top condition for many years to come. This will help prevent problems like fabric stains, odours and the growth of mould. It can also extend the life of your pushchair.
Start by vacuuming your stroller using a nozzle that is flexible to get rid of crumbs, dirt and grime from all surfaces. This will help reach into all crevices and seams of fabric components including the canopy, seat and basket.
After the vacuuming has been completed and the vacuuming is complete, follow the manufacturer's instructions for removing the fabric seat covers, pads and liners from the frame of the chassis, and then washing them on a delicate cycle using a mild detergent appropriate for babies. Make sure all parts are dry before reassembly to avoid corrosion or water damage.
To get rid of any odours that have hardened or sticky messes, it is recommended to regularly clean the non-fabric parts of your twin stroller. This includes the hinges, wheels, and folding parts. If necessary, use a silicone-based grease as recommended by the manufacturer to ensure smooth and continuous movement of all components. Regularly checking your twin pushchair will help you spot any signs of wear, allowing you to repair them as quickly as possible.
