Removal of mildew and mold

Mold is a fungus which grows on organic material, typically in damp and dark conditions. The spores can create a strong musty smell and be difficult to remove. If the mould is not removed, it will continue to grow and spread. To prevent this it is vital to regularly clean the area. The first step is to clean any loose dirt and debris from the fabric surface. This can be done manually or using a vacuum cleaner with an adjustable nozzle attachment. This is a great opportunity to clean pockets, compartments and other small spaces that are difficult to reach.

Then, wipe the entire surface with an unclean cloth or scrub brush. This is best done outside in a well-ventilated area, and wearing a mask to avoid breathing in mould and spores.

If you cannot remove the mould, it may be necessary to dry the area and scrub it off with an air dehumidifier.

Some pushchairs have fabric sections, such as seats and hoods which can be completely removed, allowing you to pop them in the washing machine or wash them via hand washing. Once they've been cleaned, lay them flat to dry, so they keep their shape and then make sure they're completely dry before you put them back onto your child's toy.

The frame or chassis may require a little extra attention than the fabric parts. If you've observed mould spores growing on the plastic, you must take action promptly so that the spores don't spread to your child in their sleep.

For difficult-to-access or delicate areas, a toothbrush can help get into the tight gaps and corners.

Storage
