IF YOU LIKED IT, SHARE IT :)
Strollers and pushchairs are in daily contact with saliva, sweat, food scraps, dust, and bacteria . Although we may not see it, these fabrics can accumulate microorganisms such as E. coli, Staphylococcus, or even mold , especially if they are not cleaned frequently.
In fact, studies by the University of Nottingham and microbiologist Dr. Charles Gerba (University of Arizona) have shown that poorly cleaned strollers can harbor more germs than a toilet . Shocking, right?
How often should you clean it?
- Surface cleaning: once a week (remove crumbs, dust, etc.).
- Deep cleaning: every 1 or 2 months if used daily.
- Always after: vomiting, leaks, visible stains or before storing or selling.
This frequency helps prevent allergies, dermatitis, respiratory infections , and other illnesses. Plus, if your baby has sensitive skin or is prone to eczema, a professional stroller cleaning can make a world of difference.
What if it's a second-hand stroller?
Buying a secondhand stroller is an increasingly popular option for families, and although it may appear clean, you should make sure it goes through a thorough wash and sanitization before putting your baby in it.
