How to Clean the Cushion Seat
There are a few different ways to clean the cushion seat of a Graco car seat. You can use a mild soap and water solution, a dryer sheet, or an enzymatic cleaner like Simple Green.
To clean the soap and water solution, pour warm water into the car cup holder and add just enough soap to create a sudsing mixture. Swish the seat around once or twice to distribute the solution. Wipe down the surface with a cloth dipped in warm water, then dry off with a paper towel.
To clean the dryer sheet, unfold it and place it over the cushion seat. Plug in your washing machine and select the delicate cycle. Wait until the washer is finished before removing the sheet; be careful not to rip it. Wipe down the surface with a damp cloth, then dry off with a paper towel.
To clean with Simple Green, mix 2 ounces of Simple Green per gallon of water in a bucket or spray bottle. Wet down the cushion seat with this solution, then work it into the fabric with your hands. Let sit for 10 minutes before wiping off with a clean cloth.
