Help! My fave mountain buggy has horrible mould on it. Scrubbed it but it's still there!
Anyone have any suggestions how to get shot of it!?!?

I had that problem with my double buggy as its not used all the time. I scrubbed it with bleach and and it came up like new, I thought it would discolour it but it didn't and it was a bright red buggy

I gave it a good scrub and then rinsed with white wine vinegar to get rid of mouldy smell.

I was given a buggy which had a few mould spots as well as a smell of damp dog and tobacco smoke. I also found white wine vinegar did the trick, together with Fabreze and a few days of outdoor airing when the weather was up to it.

There are some mould and mildew sprays. Astonish do one which I've used on the inside of my shed roof. It works for that, but not sure about buggies. They are designed for bathroom surfaces, so I suggest you patch test it first on a small inconspicuous bit of the material. It's not designed to be used on fabrics, so don't just cover the whole pushchair until you've tried a small patch test.

I have used Astonish mould and mildew sprays on my black and grey Phil and ted to remove mould, sprayed it on and left it for 15mins washed it off and it came up like new no colour fading. Hope this helps:)
