Getting musty smell out of pram - any ideas?

AquamarineMonkey

I've bought a 2nd hand Babystyle Oyster pram with carrycot for a bargain price.
Unfortunately it's been stored in the cellar of a pub for the last few months so it has a musty smell. Although the care instructions say to sponge clean it only we've put the fabrics through the washing machine on a 30 degree wash - twice! - and no damage has been done but the musty smell remains.
Does anybody have any idea how we can get rid of the musty smell?

It's not the end of the world if we can't as I only bought it as the base is compatable with the Britax car seat we already have, so I've bought it primarily for the base, but if we could use the other parts too that would be a bonus!

I've highlighted in bold the actual question as I know I have a tendency to ramble. Thanks in advance for any answers!

Have you tried rubbing bicarb into it - including into the seams - and leaving it somewhere dry for quite a while. Then make sure you vacuum the bicarb out again to see if that helps.

Good morning I would leave it outside in a shady spot for a few hours.
My second choice would be a light dusting of baking powder.

Baking powder is the OS way of getting rid of smells.

I second the baking powder or bicarb, make sure the seat is dry before sprinkling on. I would also leave it in the sun if you can so the heat from the sun makes it works even more.

I have heard of people using fresh cat litter to soak up smells - haven't used it myself. Might speed up the process. All other methods will work and help to eliminate the mustiness.

Apparently cheap vodka and water sprayed onto things is better than fabreeze. Don't know what ratio, but worth a go maybe?
