What is the best way to deep clean a Bugaboo Bee.

We purchased one from eBay we collected it today it clearly has not been cleaned and has sat in a house where lots of fried food is eaten as it stinks and the seat has several milk stains on it.

We got it for a great price and its a LTD edition and the frame is in super condition it just pongs.

Remove all the fabric. There are videos on you tube. It all goes in the washing machine, includibg the basket. You will find a crochet hook useful if not for removing then definitely for replacing. Take photos as you go as you undo each bit if you are at all uncertain. With the frame I clean the nooks and crannies with a tooth brush and ear buds and furniture polish. Then use "cockpit cleaner" from halfords for the black bits. Is is a bee (2009) or bee plus (2010)? If the former feel free to PM me as I've done mine regularly.

Alternatively, google buggy pitstop.

I bought one off ebay once and had the same problem. The fabrics are all washable which helps a lot. Strip off the hood, seat cover and basket and put in the washing machine - you might need to wash them a couple of times but they should come up nicely and smelling fresh! I can't remember what I used to clean the frame but I think someone recently mentioned furniture polish is good for cleaning pushchair chassis?

Thanks.

I did look at buggy pitstop but am a skinflint and dont really want to spend 70 on getting it cleaned.
