Steps to clean a stroller

  1. Vacuum away crumbs and dirt

    Use the crevice attachment to vacuum away loose dirt hiding in the folds of the seat. If you are not using a vacuum, you can brush loose dirt away.

  2. Wipe away grime

    Use Clorox® Free & Clear Compostable Cleaning Wipes to work dirt build-up out of the seat, under the buckles, and off the handles and frame. Don’t forget the cargo area and the top of the hood and rain cover.

  3. Spot clean stains

    Spray Clorox® Free & Clear Multi-Surface Spray Cleaner onto a microfiber cloth, then use it to rub away tough stains.

  4. Sanitize fabric

    Hold the bottle 6-8 inches from the surface and lightly spray Clorox® Free & Clear Disinfecting Mist onto all the soft surfaces on the stroller, including the seat and the straps, until visibly wet—do not saturate.

    Tip

    Fabric and other soft surfaces must remain wet for 2 minutes to sanitize.

  5. Sanitize plastic components

    Spray Clorox® Free & Clear Disinfecting Mist onto all the plastic components, including the handle, cup holder and tray table.

    Tip

    Hard, nonporous surfaces must remain wet for 1 minute to sanitize.

  6. Allow to dry

    After the required dwell time for sanitizing is complete, surfaces can air dry or be wiped dry with a clean microfiber cloth.

    Tip

    No rinsing is required.
