Disassembling the stroller for washing

Disassembling the stroller for washing Over time, the stroller gets so dirty that dry cleaning alone is not enough - in this case, you need to wash the product. But for “water procedures” the structure should be prepared: disassemble and remove the fabric elements. Difficulties sometimes arise with each point. To properly disassemble a baby stroller for washing, you need to follow the manufacturer's instructions. Let's look at what exactly to do, step by step.

Transforming

The most difficult thing to wash is a convertible stroller. Firstly, the “transformer” is used all year round and collects a lot of stains and dirt. Secondly, due to “2 in 1” or “4 in 1” the design is made heavier by the abundance of components and devices. Thirdly, such products often include permanent covers and upholstery, which complicates the cleaning process.

In any case, the stroller needs to be washed. As a rule, transformers differ in design depending on the model and company, but there are several common and standard nuances. To clean the product you need to:

remove all covers;
soak the capes for 12 hours;
wash textiles by hand in a suitable container;
Dry outdoors, protected from direct sunlight.

The bottom of the stroller seat can only be washed by hand.

You can wash the covers in the machine: just load them into the drum and turn on the delicate cycle. However, automatic washing does not guarantee that all stains will be removed. Moreover, for cheap fabrics such a “travel” will be disastrous - the seams will come apart, and the color of the fabric will lighten several tones.

If the upholstery is not removable, then washing will take place according to a different scenario.First of all, the stroller needs to be made as light as possible: remove all additional elements, basket, bumper, wheels, footrest. Afterwards we put the transformer in the bath and thoroughly clean it with a brush.

"Vehicle" for walking

Washing a stroller is much easier, although many people are intimidated by the abundance of belts and fasteners. In fact, it’s easy to “make friends” with a seemingly complex system - just act in a given order. Cleaning begins with disassembly.

Unfasten the hood.
Remove the top fabric covering.
We release the belts and fasteners, moving from one to another.
Disconnect the armrests and belt pads.

Safe and hypoallergenic detergents are used to wash stroller covers.

All removed textile elements are washed in a machine or by hand. Afterwards, all that remains is to go through the remaining parts of the “walk” with a brush and product. Old and strong stains are treated with additional bleach or stain remover. It is important to give preference to safe and hypoallergenic formulations, and also take care of high-quality rinsing.

The nuances of disassembling some strollers

Most manufacturers understand that strollers often get dirty and need to be cleaned. Therefore, constructors and designers offer consumers collapsible products, where almost all textile elements can be easily detached and washed. But for quick and easy disassembly you need to follow the included instructions and know the individual features of individual models. Then the cleansing will go unnoticed and effectively.

Before disassembling and washing the stroller, be sure to read the instructions included with it with the manufacturer's recommendations!

A review of the pitfalls of the most popular manufacturers of baby strollers will help you anticipate the difficulties of disassembly.

"Tutis Zippy" When disassembling strollers of this brand, many parents cannot remove the hood. The fact is that the “top” is fixed to the frame with special bolts, which are securely hidden for aesthetic purposes. It is necessary to carefully inspect the structure and find fasteners hidden from view. Another nuance is the mattress. This element cannot be washed in a machine - it will become irrevocably deformed and crumpled. It is better to give preference to hand washing.
Adamex. Adamex also masks the fastenings, so to detach the hood you will have to examine the frame of the stroller. But the new models will delight the owner with dense, high-quality upholstery that can withstand machine washing even at 60 degrees. Old products do not allow this, so it is better to study the instructions before cleaning.
"Inglesina". They are considered the most suitable for washing: all fabric parts are easily removed and can withstand the washing machine test. Covers can be washed on a high temperature cycle for effective stain removal and disinfection. But there is a drawback - these strollers are distinguished by an abundance of straps and fasteners, which somewhat complicates the disassembly process.
Maclaren. Owners will be pleased with the completely removable covers and the ability to wash the upholstery in an automatic machine. Difficulties arise only during reassembly, when the order of actions is violated in a hurry. To avoid confusion, it is recommended to record the disassembly process on a video camera.

Any baby strollers, both strollers and convertibles, must be cleaned regularly. This is not difficult to do if you wash the stains in a timely manner and follow the instructions.
