Solutions for Keeping Your Car Clean from the Dirt on Your Stroller??

[new_mom_mry]

The title says it all...I drive a Subaru Outback and I've been lugging around my son's Bumbleride Indie everywhere in the trunk--what do you do to keep your trunk clean from the wet or dry dirt accumulated on the stroller's wheels? The only approach I've tried is rinsing off the wheels with some water from a water bottle before placing it in the trunk, but there's got to be a smarter way of doing this and it's so wasteful! Admittedly, I am a neat freak, and the dry dirt on the trunk's rubber mat bothers me, and even though it wipes clean, I just don't always have time to wipe it! Suggestions?

I threw a moving blanket in the trunk of my minivan, b/c my P&T gets lots of gunk on it's tires.

Possible solution might be to get a quick and easy way to clean off your car. Since you already have a rubber mat, get a rubber brush to quickly brush off the dirt. You can use same brush to get dirt off the wheels. (It's a brush with rubber bristles, and works wonders on sand, mud and lots of other things. )

As your son grows older, dirt from the stroller wheels will be the least of your worries. LOL

Can't say I ever worried about my stroller making my car dirty--sorry!

How about putting plastic grocery bags over the wheels? Otherwise I like the brush idea.

I think one step ahead sells a cover for the trunk.

On most of them, the wheels pop right off by pushing in the center hub, or moving a nearby lever. Then you just take the wheels and run them under the water in the sink. If they are really a dirty, use a little dish soap and brush. It is so easy you won't mind them getting a little yuckky! So enjoy them!
