Most prams will have an instruction manual that gives cleaning instructions, usually with specific instructions for washing and maintenance of various parts. If it doesn't, it's worth checking online for suggestions.

To clean a pram, you must remove all fabric parts (seats, canopies, baskets etc.).) and wash them as instructed by the manufacturer. Washing these items in warm, soapy water is important since cold or hot water could damage the fabric. After washing, it is recommended to allow the fabric to dry completely before reattaching it, ideally in a bright sunny spot.

In addition to washing your hands, it's also a good idea to check your pram regularly for signs of wear or loose screws. This will prevent the pram being damaged or unstable, which could pose a risk to your child's safety. A quick inspection of the locking mechanisms, brakes and harnesses will ensure that they're secure and functioning properly. And it's recommended to periodically give your wheels and frame an oily spray to ensure they're operating smoothly.

It's also worth investing in a pram liner or a cover that will give you an additional layer of protection from spills and stains. They can be easily cleaned and removed and will ensure that your stroller stays in good condition for a longer period of time. You can also jazz up your stroller with a new set of seats, wheels, or sun canopy to make it look more modern and match it to your little one's outfit. It's also worth thinking about using a touch-up marker for your pram to cover up any scrapes or scratches on the frame, particularly black prams, which can show dirt quite quickly.
