How do u wash a buggy?

Question

my babys buggy doesnt have removable covers,and its really grubby and smells a bit of sour milk,its driving me mad cos i cant clean it,ive not enough money for a new one,anyone got any hints hhow to clean it and get the sour milk smell out.

Answer 1

I washed mine by filling a bucket with hot water and adding my normal washing machine detergent.  Using a scrubbing brush, scrubbed the canvas fabric.  I then rinsed it off regularly with cold water, to check my progress, and continued until it came up like new.

Try doing it on a hot day (I know, hard to get in UK, but Sat 23rd Aug- tomorrow in UK, promises to be good), then it'll dry outside after you've done.

I did this several times during it's lifetime and again when I finally sold it.  The lady who bought it thought it had hardly been used!!!! If only she knew what had been spilled over it!!!!!

It'll do the trick, and you'll be amazed how easy it is, and how well it comes up.

Good Luck girl

Answer 2

It would probably be easiest to clean it outside or in the shower. If it is made of canvas, try wiping it with a wet soapy sponge. Try dish detergent or laundry soap.  Dish soap may be better, because it won't have any fabric conditioners. After, rinse it with a hose or a pot of warm water.  Let it dry upside down so it doesn't have a puddle in the bottom.  You may want to put it by a fan.  Do it when you are done using it for the day so it can have as long as possible to dry.

Answer 3

we used a pressure washer on ours but its mainly elbow grease and a hose pipe or a bucket of water with washing powder in then leavin it to dry

Answer 4

I would try a can of carpet/upholstry cleaner. I have a can that you spray on and use a damp cloth or brush to rub/clean the bad spots, then let it dry and use a vacuum to finish it off.

Answer 5

I put the whole buggy in the bath and put the electric showerhead onto the stringest setting.  Then I useed 1001 carpet and upholstery cleares and scrubbed with a cleaning brush and cloth.  It works so well and smells great.  Make sure you really rinse as some residue may be left when it dries.

Let it drain for a few hours and put it outside to dry.  If its raining out put the hairdryer on it

Answer 6

hi well the only way i done it was to fil the bath with about 5 inches of  hot water and washing powder and use a scrubbing brush or scourer turning it upside down and what ever to get it really clean, then put it in the garden or near a radiator to let it dry, jus make sure you've no where to go for the day til its dry lol. hope this helps. :L

Answer 7

Have it jet washed at your local garage on a very sunny day so that it can dry quickly and naturally outside.  You could then deodorise it with a spray.

Answer 8

Stick it in the washing machine :P

Answer 9

Just good old elbow grease really.  I half fill a bucket with water and add a scoop of my washing powder to it.  Use a microfibre cloth and wring it out so there are no drips and then get scrubbing.  It'll take time to dry out though so best bet is to do it in the evening and put it somewhere warm - like near a radiator overnight.
