Washing Maxi Cosi Cover...

[bea]

put it off long enough and it really is bordering on a Life of Grime...! DD's Maxi Cosi car seat cover is absolutely filthy...

domestiv question... can i just bung it in the washing machine and at what temp? and can i stick in tumble dryer?

has anyone managed to clean their seat cover successfully in the machine and did it go back onto the car seat successfully!?

thanks... and i'll be surprised to get a quick reply on a saturday night when i know that your're all intrigued and watching pop idol!!!!

I do them on wool and I would put it in th e airing cupboard.

codswollop... you win for being the quickest on the draw!!!! can't believe that you answered so quickly... what temp is wool???

Ditto coddy, wouldn't risk the tumbler dryer.

i am absolutely gobsmacked by these speedy replies!!!!!!!!

I do mine on the normal cycle at 30. Just hang it up and it'll dry pretty quickly.

Any tips on cleaning the straps?

I was too scared to use the machine as it says hand wash, so washed mine in the bath came up really well. dont use washing powder on the car seat straps as it weakens them apparently.

JJ I was told to use a tiny amount of washing up liquid in a big bowl of warm water and just sponge the straps down and leave to dry.
My road saftey officer told me that a child was hurt in an accident because the mum washed the strapes in the machine with washing powder and the straps failed.

40deg - its the speed of the cycle thats impt - no too much agitation of it

dettol spray for the straps

flippin' eckers you domestic goddesses!!!

have put mine in now for a gentle wash... and it will be allowed to air dry over the hot water tank...

only trouble now is... can i remember how to get the straps back through the holes and fix the cover back on!!!!!

thanks for all the advice!!!
