Keeping your UPPAbaby or Nuna Cruz V2 stroller clean is essential for your baby’s health and to maintain its appearance. Proper cleaning helps prevent buildup of dirt, grime, and germs, ensuring a safe and comfortable ride for your little one.
Follow these simple, practical steps to clean your stroller thoroughly without damaging its components. Always use gentle, baby-safe cleaning methods and products recommended by manufacturers.
Gather Your Cleaning Supplies
- Soft microfiber cloths

Remove and Clean the Fabric Components
- Detach fabric parts such as seat covers, canopies, and any removable padding.
- Check the manufacturer’s instructions for washing fabric—many are machine washable on gentle cycle with cold water.

Clean the Frame and Wheels

- For wheels, scrub with a soft brush or cloth to remove mud and grime. Use disinfecting wipes if desired.
- Dry all parts with a clean cloth and ensure no water remains in moving parts.
Reassemble and Final Touches
Once all components are dry, reattach fabric parts securely. Check for any loose screws or parts, tightening as needed.
For extra protection, consider applying a gentle, stroller-safe disinfectant to high-touch areas, following product instructions.
