Quick Answer
Clean your Graphite Marseille Stroller Caddy by spot cleaning with mild soap and water, air drying thoroughly, and storing it away from moisture to preserve its water-resistant coated canvas.
Why Gentle Cleaning Matters
The Graphite Marseille Stroller Caddy is made with water-resistant coated canvas, a durable material that handles daily errands well. However, harsh cleaners or machine washing can damage the coating, reducing its water resistance over time. Gentle spot cleaning keeps the fabric effective and looking new.
Because this caddy attaches to a variety of strollers with included clips, you’ll want to keep the clips and attachment points clean too. Dirt buildup on the clips can make them harder to fasten securely.
How to Clean Your Graphite Marseille Stroller Caddy
- Empty and shake out debris: Remove all items from the caddy. Turn it upside down and shake gently to dislodge crumbs, dust, or small objects. Use a soft brush or your hand to sweep out any stuck particles from the corners. Skipping this step can grind dirt into the fabric during cleaning, causing scratches on the coated surface.
- Spot clean with mild soap and water: Mix a small amount of mild liquid soap (like dish soap) with cool water. Dip a soft cloth or sponge into the solution, wring it out well, and gently dab the soiled areas. Avoid scrubbing vigorously, as that can abrade the water-resistant coating. Do not use bleach, alcohol, or abrasive cleaners. They will strip the coating and may discolor the graphite fabric.
- Rinse with a damp cloth: Wet a clean cloth with plain cool water and wipe the areas you just cleaned to remove any soap residue. Residual soap can attract dirt and leave a sticky film on the canvas. Make sure the cloth is only damp, not soaking wet. Excess water can seep into the lining and cause mildew.
- Air dry completely before reattaching: Hang the caddy in a well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight or heat sources. Let it dry fully—this may take several hours depending on humidity. Do not use a dryer, radiator, or hair dryer, as high heat can warp the coated canvas or damage the clips. Attaching a damp caddy to your stroller can trap moisture against the stroller frame, leading to rust or fabric odors.
- Wipe down the clips and attachment points: Use a dry or slightly damp cloth to clean the stroller clips and any metal or plastic parts. Remove any dirt or grit that could scratch the stroller handle or make the clips harder to fasten. Let the clips dry completely before storing or reattaching to prevent corrosion on metal components.
