View Full Version : Cleaning a Mildewed Stroller

DH insisted that our Zooper Sport would be fine in the outdoor shed (that's a story for the Bitching Post!), but when I took it out this morning it was covered with mildew. It looks horrible and it reeks. I can try an Oxy soak on part of the cover, but I don't think that the canopy is removable. Any suggestions for getting rid of the mildew?
Well, I would be buying a new stroller. But that's just me. I don't deal mold/mildew very well. Plus, other than soaking the cover and canopy in bleach (which would obviously ruin it), I don't know how you could ever be sure that you got all the mold spores out.

I would be concerned about lingering mould too.

I'd call zooper and ask if they sell "skins". If not, yup, time to go shopping.

I would try to clean it before buying new. I wouldn't use bleach, but I'd try vinegar & tea tree oil. Both kill mold. I'd remove the fabric I could & soak it in a bucket & then put the rest of the stroller in the bathtub & soak it there. You might have some staining but I think killing all the mold is definitely possible. Seems wasteful to buy new but that's just me.
After cleaning maybe try parking it outside in the sun...and let it air dry!
