What to use to clean a carseat?

[craigslittleangel]

I have the first carseat (the one they come home from hospital in) and need to clean the fabric sections of it. Currently I give it a wipe over but feel it needs something more.

Can anyone suggest a way to clean or product that does not leave it really wet?

Thanks.

cant you just take it off and wash it in the machine? thats what i always did and it dries really quickly :)

i always did it in the evening btw and then put it on a radiator or airer and it was dry by morning :)

I have just hit my OH who told me that it did not come off. Moral? Always check yourself!

Will now go and do that.....I blame mummy brain.

Thanks

Did you hit him with the recently denuded car seat?

well mine have always come off, there are some little elasticated straps and velcro that hold it in place? i am pretty sure they all come off! never trust a man to know the right facts about baby equipment

the easiest way, I always find, to get the covers off car seats is to swear lots, get exasperated, get completely baffled and start a thread on MN. And it's all good practice for when you need to get the thing back ON again, which is 5x as hard.
(Have been washing car seat covers this week myself)

photograph how it looks attached on the back of the seat before you take it off so you know which hook stretches to where...

I'm sorry, on first glance, I thought the title of this thread was 'What to use to clean a cat's arse'.....sorry....
