Hi
We've had an influx of mice and we've nearly got rid of them but while we had them they got into our Phil & Teds double buggy and I've cleaned it using uphoulstery cleaner but it still stinks.
I have no idea of if or how I can remove the fabric off the pram frame
Any ideas greatly appreciated!

I think i would disenfect the pram but not sure how ( not much help ) but I would be worried about all the germs from mice pee as I know rats pee can be dangerous. Bicarbonate of soda sprinkled on the fabric would get rid of smell and then hoover it off. Why dont you post this in the puschair section as they will be able to tell you how to get the cover off if it is possible.

You can strip the fabric and shove most of it in the washing machine (I'd add a cap of bleach to it for the germs) and the big seat you can soak/scrub in the bath then hang out to dry. Just rinse it really well ( a hose in the garden whilst it's hung up is good) otherwise when it rains you might get some bubbles coming up this in no way shape or form happened to me at all oh no siree

Would one of them hand held steamers be worth a go? Patch test first.

I sympathise re the mice (current sufferer Grin)
