What do you use to clean your strollers?

I did end up buying the Fuego that I posted about a few days ago but it needs a good clean-up. I may then end up reselling it. I was naughty and bought 2 used strollers yesterday. One was a Peg on Ebay that I HAD to have. What is wrong with me? Anyway......
What kind of detergent for the metal parts? Do you use a sponge? A brush for the wheels? I was able to get all the fabric parts off and threw them in the wash. What about for strollers like Pegs that have the generous padding? I would rather not machine wash these as I have heard that the padding can become permanently bunched in the middle. I don't believe the hoods come off the frames either.

I just cleaned up my 04 Zippy last night. I didn't want to take the fabric parts off, so I used my Bissel Little Green Clean Machine on the fabric (a scrub brush and some soapy warm water would do the same thing). It did a fantastic job! On the metal parts I used 409 and then Windex. I didn't do much with the wheels, but a little scrub brush and some soapy 409 water should do the trick. I gave my wheels a little WD40 and now they glide like they're on ice. :) I didn't do much with the hood except lower it and wipe it down with a wet rag. It looks like a nearly new stroller today. Have fun.

Thanks! I ended up using soapy hot water and a sponge to clean up the metal parts but I'm afraid the metal might rust inside the stroller where the water got in. Oh well. I left it outside to dry since it's nice and sunny today. I'll have to remember to put some WD40 on the wheels after it's dried.

Actually instead of WD40 use some Endust(sp)! It will help lubricate the wheels but won't attract dirt like the WD40 will!
