Quick Answer

Wipe the stroller frame with a soft cloth and mild detergent.
Keep joints, wheels and moving parts clear of dirt, sand and debris.
Brush fabrics regularly to remove loose dust and crumbs.
Hand wash removable fabrics only when needed, using mild soap and cold water.
Allow fabrics to air dry completely before reuse.
Check regularly for loose, worn or damaged parts.

Before You Clean the Stroller

Before cleaning or checking the stroller, make sure it is safe to work on.

Remove your child from the stroller.
Engage the brake if the stroller is open.
Remove loose items from the basket, seat and frame.
Check the product manual before removing any fabric parts.
Do not force fabric, clips or frame parts during removal or cleaning.

Cleaning the Frame

The stroller frame can be cleaned with a soft cloth and mild detergent.

Use a soft damp cloth with mild detergent.
Wipe dirt from the frame, joints and moving areas.
Remove dust, sand or debris from folding points.
Dry the frame thoroughly after cleaning.
Do not soak frame components.
Do not use harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners or high-pressure washing.

Keeping the frame clean can help folding, unfolding and attachment points operate more smoothly.

Cleaning the Fabric

Fabric areas should be cleaned gently and allowed to dry fully before use.

Brush fabrics regularly to remove loose dirt, dust and crumbs.
Spot clean small marks where possible.
Hand wash removable fabrics only when needed.
Use mild soap and cold water.
Do not use bleach or harsh chemical cleaners.
Allow fabric to air dry completely before reattaching or using the stroller.

Do not use the stroller with damp fabric, because trapped moisture can affect comfort and may encourage odour or mildew over time.

Wheel Care

Wheels can collect sand, dust, hair and small debris during everyday use, especially on outdoor surfaces.

Check the wheels regularly:

Remove loose dirt from around the wheel area.
Check that each wheel is fully attached.
Check that wheel release buttons are not obstructed.
Inspect for anything wrapped around the axle area.
Test wheel movement on a clear, flat surface after cleaning.

Wheel checks are especially useful after use on sand, gravel, grass, brick paths or uneven pavements.

If movement feels restricted, see Mimi LUNO Stroller Troubleshooting Guide.

Checking Joints, Locks and Moving Parts

Regular checks help confirm that the stroller is still locking and moving correctly.

Check that the frame opens and locks securely.
Check that the stroller folds and unfolds smoothly.
Check that the seat, carrycot or adapters attach securely where applicable.
Check that the brake engages clearly and holds the stroller still.
Check that the harness is not twisted, damaged or difficult to adjust.
Check for any loose, worn or damaged parts before use.

Do not use the stroller if any locking mechanism does not engage securely or if any part appears damaged, loose or unstable.

After Outdoor Use

South African conditions can include sand, dust, uneven pavements, grass, gravel and warm weather. These can all affect how often the stroller needs light cleaning.

After outdoor use, check:

Wheel areas for sand, dirt or debris.
Fabric for dust, crumbs or spills.
Frame joints for trapped dirt.
Brake area for obstruction.
Basket and storage areas for loose items.

Small, regular checks are usually easier than waiting until dirt builds up around moving parts.

Storage Tips

Store the stroller in a clean, dry place when not in use.

Allow the stroller to dry fully before storage.
Avoid storing the stroller while fabric is damp.
Keep the stroller away from prolonged moisture.
Do not place heavy items on top of the folded stroller.
Store removable parts safely so they do not get misplaced.

Good storage helps protect the stroller between outings and reduces the chance of fabric or moving parts being affected by moisture or dirt.

Important Maintenance Notes

Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
Do not soak frame components.
Do not use high-pressure water on the stroller.
Do not force moving parts if they feel restricted.
Use only approved parts and accessories.
Replace damaged parts before continued use.
Stop using the stroller if a component does not lock securely or appears damaged.

Practical Tips for Parents

Do a quick wheel and brake check before regular outings.
Brush off loose dirt before it settles into fabric.
Clean sand or debris from wheel areas after outdoor use.
Let fabric air dry fully before reattaching or storing.
Check folding points if the stroller starts feeling stiff.
Contact Mimi Baby support if an issue continues after cleaning and basic checks.
