Disinfecting Your Stroller: How to Remove Mold

Strollers are an essential accessory for parents with babies, but because they are used outdoors in all types of weather, they can often develop mold problems.

At BUBU, we understand the importance of keeping strollers clean and safe for your children, which is why we specialize in sanitizing them using a unique method: steam treatment.

How do I clean my baby's stroller?

Steam is a powerful cleaning tool that, under pressure, becomes a natural disinfectant and degreaser. It cleans deeply, eliminating germs and bacteria, as well as dissolving oils and grease, making it an ideal solution for a wide range of cleaning needs in various industries.

The benefits of steam in mold cleaning

When steam is heated to 120 degrees Celsius and released under pressure, it becomes an exceptional cleaning tool for removing mold. The combination of high temperature and pressure allows surfaces and objects to be disinfected by simple thermal contact.

Dry steam cleaning is known for its detergent properties, as well as its antibacterial and antifungal capabilities.

Eco-friendly cleaning

In addition to its superior cleaning properties, steam is an eco-friendly option for keeping your belongings clean. Because it uses only hot water, it contains no environmentally harmful chemicals, making it a sustainable and safe cleaning method.

It has also been shown to have a positive impact on human health, compared to other chemical-based cleaning methods. Another eco-friendly aspect to highlight is that steam requires very little water. Unlike traditional cleaning methods, which can involve the use of large amounts of water along with harmful chemicals, steam cleaning minimizes water waste, making it an environmentally friendly option.

Removing Mold from Your Stroller: A Practical Guide

Understanding how to address the mold problem in your stroller is crucial to ensuring your baby's safety. Here are five steps to effectively remove mold:

1. Mold and mildew removers for fabrics: A quick and effective option is to use a mold and mildew remover specifically designed for fabrics. Spray the product on the affected surface and follow the instructions on the container. Rinse with a clean cloth.
2. Water, white vinegar, and lemon solution: If you prefer a homemade, toxin-free solution, mix equal parts water and distilled white vinegar. Add the juice of one lemon to the mixture. Spray it on the mold and let it sit for a few minutes before wiping it off with a clean cloth.
3. Water and baking soda: For stubborn mold stains, mix one cup of water with a quarter teaspoon of baking soda in a spray bottle. Spray on the mold and rub gently with a cloth.
4. Baking Soda and Vinegar: For tough stains, combine 3 cups of vinegar with 5 tablespoons of baking soda into a thick mixture. Apply this paste directly to the mold, let it dry, and then gently scrub to remove the mold.
5. Bleach: If other methods don't work, you can use a diluted bleach solution. Apply the bleach directly to the mold stains, let it sit until the stain disappears, and then rinse thoroughly with water.
