I found mine does all un clip. Quite hard to do had to get DH to help! Follow the seams and it will become apparent! Then pop it all in the washing machine. Good luck.

Some older models do not come off in which case I would scrub with something antibacterial and rinse off with hot water outside.

Think i need to set aside a whole morning for this!

2 qs...can i put it in the washing machine? (not the whole buggy...clearly )

If not...any idea how long it will take to dry once ive washed it down?
does it absorb loads of water?

TY!

If you do manage to get the cover off, put it in a pillow case before washing, you can wash the hood like this as well.

The covers and straps dry very quickly. I have found that if I put them on a machine wash in the evening then replace on the frame and recline the seat fully, the covers are dry by next day.

Right. Who lives in N.London and wants to come do it for me!

i have visions of accidently putting it on a 60o wash and it never fitting the frame agaih!

I have between the hours of 9.30 and 2.45 to get it washed and dry...will it happen?
