Both can help remove tough stains and neutralise odours. Regularly wiping down the surfaces with warm water will also keep mould from developing, which is not only ugly, but also unsanitary to let toddlers and babies sit on.
One of the most effective tips to keep your pushchair clean and in good operating condition is to read the manual. The manual contains information on how to assemble and disassemble your buggy as well as information on the materials.
