To be lazy and put pram wheels in the dishwasher?

[BornToShopForcedToWork]

Hi,

Can I put dirty pram wheels (bugaboo chameleon) in the dishwasher?

I'd clean them before taking photos for eBay! Apart from that, the crusty, muddy look is right for prams.

I have washed some dead cuttle fish bones found on the beach in my otherwise empty dishwasher, with no salt or powder in, to wash the salt OFF so I could feed them to our giant african landsnails,

I showered my pram chassis last night, thats only cause I'm selling it today. :o

Why?

My bugaboo wheels go in my dishwasher.

As does the tank from my dyson

Eight years of parenthood, four children, seven pushchairs/prams and not ONCE has it ever occurred to me to clean the wheels beyond giving them a quick hose down if they were muddy.

I am either a horrible slattern or you, OP, are bonkers.

Yabu-hose them down outside=clean wheels yet no contaminated cutlery
I wash my prams with a hose, but only so the wheels when im selling

what bragmatic said

just why bother?

Things input in my dish washer

Pram bits
Hoover bits
Crocs
Foot Ball Boots
Hiking Boots
Wellies
HighChair parts
Dish cloths
Bike Parts
Venetian Blinds
Travel High Chair
Head Stone

I'm sure there are more.

I have put

There's a whole world of cleaning I didn't know about. DS is lucky if he gets hosed down once in a while, never mind the feckin' pram wheels

Headstone Honeydragon?

Only a little one not a proper full on massive one.

Who's headstone?

And why did it need to be sterile?

It was an old pet one, a marble one, scrubbing was going no where so I stuck it in the dishwasher (not mine ), which lifted the crap of it without damaging it. Then we redid the writing in gold, and returned it to the grave of its occupant

I bought a second hand pram from someone and when I got it home and properly looked at it the wheels were filthy so I cleaned them with flash, Cif, bleach and turps I used a toothbrush(new of course) cloths and ear buds to get into the nooks
They look lovely now and I can't wait for ds3 to arrive.
Also does any one know if a silver cross 3D main cloth comes off??

Sounds lovely, MonaLisa. Are you going to do it again after every walk in the rain?

Okay, I am probably a little but OCD about cleaning the buggy.

Bloody Hell, fair play. The closest I've come to cleaning my pram wheels is rolling them over some grass.

Usually the cleaning threads on mumsnet make me want to go bonkers and do something mental like cleaning my skirting boards but I am not going to clean my pram wheels and never in a dishwasher

People clean pram WHEELS?! In 14 years of owning a pram, I have never cleaned wheels. The fabric, yes, weekly usually, but the WHEELS? Surely they are gleaned by running them through puddles and making silly smiley faces on the ground with the tracks?

Holy shit jumpingthroughhoops at your friend putting her toilet seat in there. What goes through her mind that makes her think that is ok !!??? Bleeeeeuuuurrrrggghhhh!

No way would I put pram wheels in either, the dishwasher is now contaminated !!

But the toilet seat water isn't going to stay in the dishwasher for the wash afterwards is it? So why is it bleurgh?

If you put a spag bol plate in one was, your next wash doesn't come out covered in spag bol because the dishwasher drains and rinses. Unless you have a dodgy dishwasher.

OP YANBU

Umm I misread the title and thought the OP wanted to put pram wheels ON her dishwasher, which I thought was incredibly lazy tbh, making the dishwasher portable do she didn't have to get up to do the washing up

I never had a dishwasher when I had a pram so on the very rare occasions I washed the wheels I used a bucket of hot soapy water and a hosepipe. Maybe 2 or 3 times total (6 DC).

I have heard you can cook a chicken in a dishwasher. Why not stick the pram wheels in with a chicken........clean pram and dinner all in one!
