As a pram and stroller collector, I think you did a fabulous job restoring this stroller and keeping it from becoming landfill material. Thank you for sharing the cleaning process. One good spray to use on moving parts is silicone spray. It doesn't attract dirt as some lubes will. Also, to keep mold from becoming a problem again, it's good to thoroughly clean any food or drink spills from the upholstery as soon as possible. Mold feeds on organic material, so by cleaning up spills you're cutting off the food source that would help mold to grow back.
I can’t wait to do this! I bought a double stroller for my grandkids for $30 but it has that musty smell! I already tried vinegar and baking soda and not much improvement on the odor! Got a sunny windy 70 degree day tomorrow 😀
Just unscrewed the material parts of the stroller tossed into washer twice laundry soap & bleach. The frame & wheels with hot soapy water ( as hot as I could stand ) . Then rewashed with bleach rinsed good dried off then wiped down with straight Mr Clean. It wasn’t in this condition at all. Find it easier in the washer.
I really thought the bleach was going to ruin the color but by the looks of it, it actually brighten it up. I still wouldn’t try this in my expensive strollers tho. But I will use this products on my kids hard plastic toys to remove germs and dirt ❤️
I read that bleach won't ruin strollers something with the fabric it with stands the bleach for this reason I was shocked cause I was thinking the same
Question, what if we don’t have any sunlight? I’m in North Idaho, and we have smow for six months practically. I have mold all over the inside of my cloth seats in my car and it’s all over the inside of my cloth stroller. I don’t know what to do anymore. I tried vinegar and a scrub brush and it got rid of it but it still smells like mold, and it seems to still come up. I think it’s a problem because we don’t really have too much sunlight out here and it stays cold and wet.
You better watch where you leave that stroller to dry.Now that it's in good shape someone could walk off with it.Better to leave it to dry in a more hidden place in your back yard.
Clove oil is the only thing that kills mould spores so scrub with that first. Bleach doesn't kill the mould spurs unfortunately. But thanks for the motivation! I'll get to it now haha
