Regular maintenance and cleaning will keep your twin pushchair in a excellent condition for years to come. This will avoid issues like staining, odours, and mould growth. It will also help prolong its life.
Begin by vacuuming your pushchair with a nozzle attachment that is flexible to eliminate crumbs, dirt and grime from every area. This will let you access all crevices, seams and fabric components such as the seat, canopy and the basket.
Once the vacuuming process is completed Follow the manufacturer's instructions for removing fabric seat coverings, pads and liners from the frame of the chassis, and then cleaning them on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent appropriate for babies. To prevent corrosion and water damage, ensure that all parts are completely dried before the reassembling.
Non-fabric components, such as the wheels, hinges and the folding parts of your twin pushchair need to be regularly cleaned with an uncluttered cloth to eliminate any sticky messes or hardened odours. If required, use a silicone-based grease, as suggested by the manufacturer to ensure smooth and continuous movement of all components. Regularly checking your twin pushchair will help you spot any signs of wear, which will allow you to fix them as quickly as possible.
