If you’re like most parents, you take great care of your children’s belongings. You wouldn’t let them play with a dirty toy, and you certainly wouldn’t let them sit in a dirty car seat. That’s why it can be so distressing to learn that many car seats don’t actually get cleaned very often. In this blog post, we will explain how to clean a Graco car seat and help you avoid some common cleaning mistakes. By following our tips, you can ensure that your car seat is always clean and safe for your child.
What You’ll Need
To clean a Graco car seat, you’ll need:
-A bucket
-Broom or mop
-Sponge or cloth
-Paint stripper or degreaser
-Ruler or measuring tape
-Scouring pad
-Water
-Lysol or similar cleaning product
If your Graco car seat is covered in fabric, be sure to remove the cover BEFORE starting to clean. If there’s any foam padding on the inside of the cover, be sure to cut it away before cleaning. Begin by pouring a small amount of water into the bucket and add enough paint stripper or degreaser to cover the bottom of the bucket. Swirl the mixture around until it’s well mixed then dip the mop into it and start scrubbing. Be careful not to get any of the cleaner on your skin. Wipe off any residue with a sponge or cloth then rinse off both the mop and sponge. Repeat until all areas are clean. If your Graco car seat has no fabric cover, simply fill the bucket with water and add enough Lysol or similar cleaning product to cover the bottom of the bucket. Swirl the mixture around until it’s well mixed then pour it over your car seat. Wipe off any residue with a sponge or cloth then rinse off both the mop and sponge.
