Removal of mildew and mould
Mold is a fungus which grows on organic material, typically in dark and damp environments. Mold can give off strong musty odors and be difficult to remove. If the mold isn’t eradicated it will continue to increase in size and spread. To prevent this it is essential to keep the area clean. First, remove all loose dirt and debris from the fabric surface. This can be done by hand or with an air-tight vacuum cleaner that has a flexible nozzle. This is a great opportunity to clean pockets, compartments and other small spaces that are difficult to reach.
Next, wipe down the entire surface with a clean cloth or scrub brush. This should be done outside, in a well ventilated space, wearing a mask to prevent inhaling mould spores. After the surface of the fabric has been cleaned, it can be sprayed with either a mildew remover or a dilute white vinegar solution. Vinegar is a natural disinfectant, and it will not damage the fabric or any other materials that make up your pushchair. If you cannot remove the mould, it could be necessary to dry the area and scrub it with an air dehumidifier.
It is recommended that you allow the fabric to dry completely before storing it. Place the fabric in a bright location and spray it with anti-fungal spray. Milton makes a child-friendly version.

Cleaning
A pushchair or car seat can be quite a dirty item to keep clean, especially when it’s been used for outdoor trips and has dragged along mud, food crumbs and other debris. To begin, clean off the dirt with a crevice tool or a brush. Spray on Clorox Free and Clean Multi-Surface spray cleaner or similar product, and then employ a soft cloth to apply the product to any fabric pieces, such as the basket, seat or hood.
If you’re looking to remove any stains or marks you’ve got, take an examination of the instructions for cleaning to determine whether they can be machine washed. If not, a bucket of hot soapy water and a gentle baby-friendly detergent will be sufficient, or you could use a damp sponge to remove any stubborn marks and then allow to dry in the sun (which will also help lighten the stains).
If you own a pushchair with removable fabric parts, like the hoods or seat supports, make sure to wash and dry them thoroughly.
The chassis or frame may require a bit more attention than the fabric components. If you notice mould spores on the plastic, you should immediately take action to stop the spores from spreading around to your child as they sleep. This can be done using water and vinegar that breaks down bacteria and can be washed off. For more difficult to reach or difficult areas, a toothbrush can be used to get into intricate spaces and corners.
For any stains that won’t be able to go away Try adding a small amount of bicarbonate of soda to the wash or baking soda to wash it off. This will not only neutralize any smells, but can also lift stains that aren’t visible in the first wash.
Storage
A great pushchair should have ample interior and exterior storage to accommodate all the essentials like snacks, drinks, and toys. The main compartment should be big enough to accommodate a laptop or tablet and compact Pushchair there should be an extra smaller storage compartment on the side for small items like phones, keys, or other baby items. Some pushchairs have storage compartments hidden under the seat, which is ideal to store items while the baby is sleeping.
