Removal of mildew and mold
Mold is a fungus that is found on organic materials, usually in dark and damp areas. Mold can give off strong musty odors and can be difficult to eliminate. If the mould isn't removed, it will continue to expand and grow. It is important to keep the area clean. First, eliminate any loose dirt and debris from the fabric surface. This can be done manually or by using the vacuum cleaner that has a flexible nozzle attachment. It is also a good idea to use this time to clean pockets, compartments, or other tiny areas of the fabric that aren't accessible easily.
The next step is to clean the entire surface of the pushchair using an unclean cloth or scrubber. This is best done outside, in a well ventilated space, wearing a mask to avoid inhaling mould spores.

Cleaning
A car seat or a pushchair is a tough item to clean, especially if it has been used on outdoor trips, and has tracked food crumbs, mud and other sand. The best way to start is to vacuum away loose dirt with a crevice attachment or simply use a brush to smooth out any nooks and crevices. Alternatively, spray on some Clorox Free and Clear Multi-Surface Spray Cleaner, or a similar product, and then employ a cloth to work it into any fabric sections like the basket, seat, or hood.
If you're looking to get rid of any marks or stains that are causing you trouble, take to look over the instructions for cleaning to determine if they can be machine washed. If not, a bucket of hot soapy water and a gentle baby-friendly detergent will be fine, or you could use a moist sponge to scrub off any marks that are difficult to remove and leave to dry in the sun (which will also help lighten stains).
Some Pushchairs car seats feature fabric parts like seat supports and hoods which can be completely removed so that you can put them into the washing machine or wash them using hand washing. Once they've been cleaned, lay them flat to dry, so that they retain their shape and then make sure that they're dry before you put them back onto your childcare accessory.
The chassis or frame of your pushchair may need a little more attention than the fabric parts. If you notice mold spores on the plastic, you must immediately take action to stop the spores from spreading to your child while they sleep. A solution of vinegar and water is ideal for this as it can break down the bacteria and can then be washed away. A toothbrush from the past is an excellent tool for getting into difficult-to-access or sensitive areas.
For any stains that won't be able to go away Try adding a small amount of bicarbonate of soda to the wash or a baking soda solution to wash it off. This will not only neutralise the smell, but will can also lift stains that a first wash might miss.
