1
Place the stroller in your yard or driveway. Ensure all your baby's stroller toys are put away before you begin cleaning it. Open the stroller and lock it into place so it remains unfolded while you clean it.
-
2
Vacuum the stroller seat with a hand vacuum to suck up any dirt or food particles stuck in the seat cushion and spot-clean spills and stains with a safe detergent.
-
3
Remove the baby stroller's seat cushion, if possible, and wash it in cold water using your washing machine's gentle cycle. Pin the seat cushion on an outside line to dry, as it may shrink in the dryer.

4
Run a damp cloth over the front and back frame of the baby stroller and then use a hose to spray down the wheels to remove leaves and dirt.

5
Scrub the baby stroller's snack tray, if it has one, as it collects a lot of food crumbs and spilled beverage stains.
-
6
Clean your baby's stroller toys with mild soap and water, so they don't bring germs into the newly-cleaned stroller.
-
7
Give extra cleaning time to the handlebar you use to push your baby's stroller, as it likely contains germs from your hands.
-
8
Keep the stroller unfolded and outside for several hours to allow it to dry.
