Have a relatively new buggy (bought last year) but it spends most of its time folded up in the boot. When I took it out yesterday, its all mildew-y and horrible and couldn't use it. How will I clean it and what with?

    How about some oxyclean? Or a very mild bleach solution?

    Sorry I can't be more help.

    Stand it in the garden, scrub it with washing liquid then rinse with the hosepipe :)

    same thing happened to my buggy, think someone recommended milk to me, but was too far gone and ended up having to buy new hood (was 3 wheeler). Tends to happen if you've taken it out in rain and folded it up when wet. So now I always wipe dry with towel.

    i always do mine with the garden hose, on a good dry day, and leave all unfolded in garden till dusk then open inside overnight to make sure properly dry. ;D

    Have cleaned my buggy in the garden as well, havn't got a hose so got a bowl of hot soapy water and scrubbed! Did the same as 160, left it outside to air all day then brought it inside to finish drying at night.
