Begin by assessing the extent of dirt, mud and mould in order to identify any areas that require attention. Utilizing a soft-bristled brush loosen dried mud and debris from fabrics like the basket and seat will make it much easier to clean. Vacuum or dust the entire stroller including all the crevices and nooks in which food crumbs, dust and debris accumulate. You can also use a small, fabric brush or an (old!) brush to get into harder-to-reach corners and creases.
After you've cleaned the fabric surfaces of your stroller, it's time to clean the wheels. The wheels of your stroller, whether they're made from rubber or plastic, will be dirtier than other areas since they are in direct contact with the floor. Therefore it's best to start by tackling them first. A scourer might be useful for tackling stubborn marks, however, you must always try to avoid scratching the surface of the chassis frame since this could lead to rust.
Then, rinse the wheels with clean water and let them dry completely before reattaching them to the chassis frame. Check your user manual again to determine if you have to lubricate the wheels bearings frequently.
