Stroller detailing

I agree it's pricey which is why I've tried to do it myself... I got the canopy in decent shape but the seat needs more work and frankly I've already spent 4+ hours on scrubbing and money on fabric stain removers and couldn't quite get it all out. The sunscreen stains are basically from metal fragments, so i think they need special treatment but I know they can be removed as I've had a ski jacket dry cleaned and they came out.

I'm the one who pressure washed it. Do you know anyone you can borrow one for? OR go to one of those DIY car wash stations, they have very powerful hoses that may work too.

Not trying to snark here OP, but why does it need to be blemish free for baby #2? You've cleaned it, so it's reasonable clean. Personally I'd move on!

It doesn't need to be blemish free, but it would bring me joy.

Do you have an uppababy by any chance? You can buy a replacement seat fabric for $45.

I did tot squad once. I didn't think it was worth it. I out the cover in the washer and it got cleaner. Tot squad see D's before and after pics and she did a great job but I was better off using my washer.

I'm not sure sunscreen stains will ever come out though..aren't the kind of permanent like bleach?

I was sure this was an April Fool's post.

I did too, at first. Then some deep buried memories of cleaning vomit out of carseats came back up, and I thought there have been stupider ways we've spent money...

Not all of us have yards, hoses, etc.

then take it to the place where you'd wash a car and use those hoses. cheaper than using the service and probably twice as effective.

It would be quite funny to show up at a car wash, wait in line and ask them to take and clean the stroller

Me too. But I envisioned monogramming and stroller jewelry kind of like for a diaper bag.
Or blinged out handlebars in metallic!

I think someone's gotta run with this.

We don’t let the kids eat in the stroller though so while beat up and faded, it wasn’t stained.

Give Tot Squad a try! Their packages start at $19.99 and goes up to $79.99 for a single stroller! Check out their Facebook page for tons of before and after shots

You don't let your kids eat in the stroller?!? Do you live somewhere where you rarely use the stroller and/or trips are max 15 minutes? Genuinely curious. We basically live in our stroller over the weekend; not unusual for kids to be in it for nearly 60 minutes at a time. I just can't imagine not letting them eat in the stroller logistically or, if I'm honest, what the impetus for that rule would be?

OP here. We also used the stroller as a high chair in restaurants.
