Stored a couple of pushchairs in the garage over the last few months. Unfortunately the garage suffers from being both cold and slightly damp at times (water comes in under the door sometimes from the rain)

Took them down and have noticed that the fabric has mould spots on them. Have tried washing them (well the bits we can ) but the straps and some of the other fixed bits still have the spots.

Whats the best way of removing the mould ?
Sprays ?

Ooh, are we soon to be hearing the pitter-patter of more tiny feet in the Swiss household?

I thought you`d grown out of it Swiss?

You can wash and wash the fabric etc, but you`ll never get rid of the marks. Thats what I found. I ended up throwing it away.

cleaner in a spray and scrubbing brush

We had the same thing Swiss with a car seat and buggy

90% came out in the wash, the rest had to be done manually and with a scrubbing brush

Drying them properly helps too to stop the damp/mould coming back

It can be done Swiss

Mould from clothing
i) remove mildew from clothing or other fabrics begin by brushing the mildewed area. It's best to do this outside. The item must be dry to do this. Then rub the affected area with half a lemon that has been dipped in salt.

Then wash as usual. Dry the item in the sun if possible

Anti bacterial spray and a good hard scrub. I had to do it the other week after leaving the pushchir in the boot for 3 months. I also found a flask of tea in the boot that had started it's own ecosystem

repairing carpet burns.... Howstuffworks "How to Repair Carpet Burns"


Carpet Burns - Clean the affected area to remove any debris (grit/ fluff), and apply a dressing if it's bleeding. Otherwise leave open.
