cleaning a pram

[fairycakes69]

Hi anyone know what I can use to clean the body of my silver cross pram, been up the loft for 18 years, bit musty with a few marks. The chasie just rubbed down with wire soap sponge, came up a treat. Inside used some dettol, so its nearly done. Can't wait for the twins to come to go in it, been keeping it for next set.

car wax if it is a paint finish

Sorry it's a fabric body, forgot to say.

I'd ring Silver Cross and ask them.............you may get sent some freebies.

a steam cleaner would be good as it would kill bugs as well

Thank you never thought to phone silver cross, they told me just to sponge with warm water and mild soap. Will give it a go when the rain decides to stop and the sun comes out.

A bit of Dettox spray?

Are you expecting twins??

i would suggest the steamer too - warm soap and water is probably good for general day to day, but to get rid of the musty smell etc and deep clean, something deeper would be better ...or even a pressure washer
some more dettol too

I used warm soapy water and came up a treat, the inside is still musty, will try the steam clean. My daughter is expecting a boy and girl, I've had two sets of twins and kept my pram. It will come in handy for my house.

Use dilute tea tree oli it'll remove any damp/mildew marks and make it smell really fresh
