In the life of absolutely every stroller there are such situations. To wash the stroller to its ideal state after such incidents, you can use the tips below.

Artistic pollution

Here we include everything that relates to the child’s creativity: pens, a stain from paint, plasticine and other similar materials. Typically, these contaminants are displayed without a trace using warm water.

Emulsions, fuel oil, paints, etc., are washed with solvents, such as acetone.

Stain removers can also help you. They must be used strictly according to the manufacturer's instructions.

Important! Be sure to rinse and then ventilate the stroller after a similar chemical treatment.

Edible pollution

Residues of food and drinks, depending on the degree of fat content of the product, can make you sweat if you do not know the weaknesses of these contaminants. To properly clean the stroller with such stains:

• Wash off fresh food using wet wipes or a soapy solution.
• You can brush dried stains with a brush, which you must soak in a solution of washing powder or laundry soap. Too greasy spots can first be sprinkled with talcum powder or starch, so that these substances absorb most of the oil.

Important! Rinse all cleaned areas with water, otherwise white stains will remain.

If the oil stain is old:

1. If possible, place napkins under the contaminated area and on it.
2. Heat the iron thoroughly, start with the delicate mode.

Important! Under the influence of heat, the oil base will go to napkins. Change them often so that all traces are absorbed.

 

Natural pollution

Is the pollution left by the child carefully rubbed by the child left on the stroller, or did the careless pigeon want to make you rich? Maybe you were also poured out of a puddle by a very bad driver?

Then treat the surface of the stroller with a brush with stiff bristles, and then rinse. The fabric will sparkle with new colors.
