M&P armadillo - help with washing please!

Hi all,

We bought a second hand armadillo today with yellow hood and trim.

It's filthy and marked as it has been well used but the actual pram and fabric are in good condition with no damage or rips etc.

I'd like to give it a proper clean but not sure if the seat cover, hood (as it has the plastic frame inside still - can this come out?), straps and chest/crotch pads are suitable to go on a gentle wash in the machine?

It came with a foot muff that I've put on a 40 degree gentle spin but didn't want to risk ruining any of the other bits.

Basically, can I shove it all in the washing machine??

On my baby jogger there are small screws either end of the hood rods that you undo and then you can take the hood off for washing? I've put my fabric covers in the wash before (with harness attached) and it's come out fine. If you can find the manual online it may tell you how to remove the fabrics.

Hi I just got the armadillo flip xt second hand too and would like to put the seat covers in the washing machine. Has anyone tried this? It says wipe clean only but there's nothing solid in them so thinking I could put in the machine on a gentle cycle??
