More and more often we come across questions regarding the washing and maintenance of our trolleys. We have collected a few tips that will allow you to keep the stroller clean and at the same time will not destroy the protective properties of the fabric. A few simple treatments will allow you to maintain the frame on your own after walking in sandy terrain or in mud. We will also show you how to care for the wheels so that they serve you as long as possible.
How to wash upholstery?
The upholstery of the stroller should not be washed in a washing machine. It has a special coating that prevents soaking and fading. Like a raincoat, this fabric will lose its properties after machine washing in detergents. It should not be cleaned chemically or dry.
The upholstery should only be washed by hand. Dry in an upright position without wringing. All parts of the outer fabric must not be tumble dried.
HOW TO DO IT:
It is best to use a mild detergent such as soapy water to clean the exterior upholstery. Do not use strong upholstery cleaning agents. The disassembled canopy can be immersed in water with a mild soap and cleaned by hand.
Upholstery washed in a different way than indicated in the instructions will not be replaced under the warranty.

The mattress in the carrycot should be washed by hand. It is very important that the mattress is dry before putting it back in. Even a slightly damp mattress can harbor fungi and mold that are harmful to the child.
How and what to lubricate the wheels with
In order to ensure smooth turns, the wheel axles and bearings should be lubricated with cleaning and penetrating agents. We recommend that you clean the axles and wheel mounting seats with compressed air. Use an agent such as, for example, WD 40 – clean the bearings in the wheels and apply a lubricating and protective agent, eg Sil 200.
Under no circumstances should you use thick or oily lubricants for maintenance, which may cause adhesion of dirt such as sand.
How to inflate tires
Tire pressure should be checked periodically. For proper shock absorption and driving comfort, the pressure in all wheels should be kept constant. The recommended tire pressure is 1.0-1.5 atm / bar. Failure to comply with the above-mentioned these recommendations may damage the tire and inner tube. The tubes have a type of Schrader valve, i.e. car. In the event of a breakdown, it can be inflated at any gas station or even with a bicycle pump with a suitable tip.
How to clean a locking telescopic handle
The telescopic handle should be periodically lubricated with a lubricant that evaporates and leaves a slip film at the same time. The most popular on the market is: Sil 200 – lubricant.
Under no circumstances should you use thick lubricants for maintenance that could stick, for example, dust or sand, thus deteriorating its proper operation. It is advisable to clean the guide with compressed air before lubrication.
