š§” DID YOU KNOW? WHY STAINS CAN APPEAR MORE OBVIOUS AFTER STORAGE š§ø
Ever put a pram or car seat away thinking it was clean, only to discover marks or stains when you get it back out months later? š
Youāre not imagining it! Hereās why this can happen. ā¬ļø
š§ Hidden spills and residue. Milk, juice, food and everyday little accidents can leave behind residues that arenāt always visible straight away.
ā³ Stains can develop over time. As residue sits in the fabric, it can oxidise and change colour, meaning a mark that was barely noticeable before storage can become much more obvious later.
š§ Moisture matters. If a pram or car seat is stored before itās completely dry, trapped moisture can contribute to musty smells and, in some circumstances, mould growth.
š”ļø Storage conditions. Heat, humidity and prolonged storage can affect fabrics and make existing marks more noticeable.
⨠Our top tip? Give your pram or car seat a good check before putting it away for the winter, or before bringing it back out for a new baby. Always make sure itās completely dry before storage and follow the manufacturerās cleaning and storage guidance.
