Bedding

If you are planning on renovating a pram for use by a new baby then it must be thoroughly cleaned inside and out. The most important part is the interior bed. In older pram the bed liners were stuffed with different types of padding, imagine over the years how much bacteria has accumulated in this - a child being sick, spilt food, wet or soiled nappies on the bottoms of the babies. Makes you feel queasy doesn't it just thinking about the germs that could be lurking in the pram bedding. I am not talking about the mattress here, but the interior lining of the pram. Therefore if you are going to use a pram for a baby, it is best to replace the interior bed or at the very least give it a thorough clean with a bacteria killing cleaner, but not bleach! It makes me shudder when I see the new style prams with their fabric linings, how often do busy mums wash these I wonder? At least with a coachbuilt pram the vinyl interior linings are easily wiped clean.
