The first step for cleaning a pram is usually to remove all fabric elements (seat and canopy, baskets, etc) and wash them according to the instructions instructed by the manufacturer. It is important to wash these items with warm soapy water as cold or hot water can harm the fabric. After washing, it's recommended to allow the fabric to dry fully before reattaching, idealally in a sunny location.

It is important to inspect your pram regularly for compact pushchair signs of wear and loose screws. This will prevent the pram becoming damaged or unstable that could pose a danger to your child's safety. Examine the brakes, locking mechanisms and harness to ensure they're in good functioning in good working order. It's also a good idea to spray your frames and wheels a light lubricant spray to ensure they're running smoothly.

It is also worth buying a pram cover or liner which can be an extra layer to protect your stroller from stains and spills.

You can also apply a touch-up marker to protect any scrapes or scratches in the frame of your stroller, particularly prams that are black, which show dirt very quickly.
