Quick answer
Clean your Velo Fabric Basket by hand-washing the fabric part with mild soap and cold water, then air-dry it completely before reattaching to the stroller frame.
Why regular cleaning matters
The Velo Fabric Basket sits under your stroller seat, collecting dust, crumbs, and spills from daily use. Regular cleaning prevents stains from setting and keeps the basket looking neat. Since the basket holds up to 13.2 lbs of essentials, a clean basket also avoids transferring dirt to items like diapers or snacks.
What to avoid
Do not machine-wash or machine-dry the basket. The fabric can shrink or warp, and the attachment straps may get damaged. Also avoid bleach and fabric softeners, as they can weaken the material and cause fading over time.
Step-by-step cleaning guide
- Remove the basket from the stroller: Unclip or unfasten the basket from the stroller frame. Check the attachment points for any debris before setting the basket aside.
- Shake out loose dirt and crumbs: Take the basket outside and shake it firmly to remove dust, sand, and food particles. Use a soft brush or your hand to dislodge stuck debris from corners. A common mistake is skipping this step, which can turn dirt into mud when you add water.
- Hand-wash with mild soap and cold water: Fill a basin with cold water and add a small amount of mild laundry detergent or dish soap. Submerge the fabric part only—avoid soaking any plastic clips or straps. Gently scrub stained areas with a soft cloth or sponge. Do not twist or wring the fabric, as this can distort its shape.
- Rinse thoroughly: Rinse the basket under cold running water until all soap residue is gone. Press the fabric gently to remove excess water, but do not twist or squeeze hard. Soap residue can attract more dirt, so rinse until the water runs clear.
- Air-dry completely: Lay the basket flat on a clean towel in a well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Flip it halfway through drying to ensure both sides dry fully. Attaching a damp basket to the stroller can cause mildew and odors. Wait until it is completely dry, which takes about 12-24 hours.
- Reattach to the stroller: Once the basket is fully dry, clip or fasten it back onto the stroller frame. Ensure all attachment points are secure before placing items inside.
