No matter how careful you are, your li'l angel's
stroller and car seat is a magnet for goo, gunk and grime as well
as the perfect breeding ground for germs and bacteria.
You've probably seen and smelled it all: liquid spills such as
juice and milk; food spills such as formula, ice cream and ketchup;
snack, cracker and cereal crumbs; throw up; diaper leaks; sweat and
perspiration; mold and mildew; crayon and pen marks; sand, mud and
leaves; and funky odors.
Of course, you could try to clean them yourself. You could give
your tot's chariot or car seat the once over at home by shaking it
while holding it upside down, squirting it with a garden hose, and
tossing the removable fabric parts into the washer.
But there's a better way: RAVE FabriCARE's Li'l Angel Stroller
& Car Seat Cleaning & Detailing Service, the first
and only service of it's kind in Arizona.
We'll save you the time and effort by delivering a germ and
bacteria free, odor free, sparklingly clean and shiny stroller or
car seat, restoring your child's stroller or car seat to "like new"
condition - quickly, safely and hygienically.
And, as with everything we do, you'll know we'll treat your
munchkin's buggy or car seat with extraordinary
care. Using the right combination of skills, equipment,
processes and cleaning products.

Our Process
Depending whether you select our full service package (The Whole
Shebang package) or our emergency service package (The Oh No!
package), our process may include the following:
- Disassemble the stroller and remove the wheels so we can focus
on each individual component.
- Vacuum out crumbs, morsels and particles from all nooks and
crannies.
- Pretreat all stains on each fabric component, including
upholstery, canopy and underseat bag.
- Hand wash and sanitize each fabric component. Multiple times,
if necessary.
- Air dry all fabric components and apply a stain repellant.
- Hand clean the frame, chassis and wheels with a specialized
antimicrobial cleaner (the first anti-germ and anti-bacteria
process).
- Reclean and disinfect the frame, chassis and wheels with
powerful jets of boiling hot steam (the second anti-germ and
anti-bacteria process).
- Dry the frame, chassis and wheels with blasts of dry compressed
air.
- Treat the wheels with a rubber protectant.
- Lubricate all moving parts.
- Reassemble the stroller.
- Polish and detail the frame, chassis and wheels.
- Sterilize all surfaces with food-safe, Ultra Violet C
germicidal irradiation (the third anti-germ and anti-bacteria
process).
- Package your stroller in plastic wrap (excluding the
wheels).
And, of course, we only use methods and products that are
specifically designed to restore your toddler's stroller or car
seat to "like new" condition while, simultaneously protecting your
child's health and safety. These methods and products include:
- Specialized antimicrobial cleaner
Our pH neutral, biodegradable cleaner contains surfactants, citrus
and hydrogen peroxide.
It's a combination degreaser, deodorizer (kills odor causing
bacteria), sanitizer (kills 99.99% of common bacteria, including
Staph, Salmonella, Strep and E-coli) and virucide (kills 99.9% of
specified viruses, including Herpes 2, Influenza A2/Japan, HIV-1
and Hepatitis B).
We could use an ordinary, household cleaner but we're RAVE
FabriCARE. And ordinary just wouldn't cut it.
- Stain repellant
- Boiling hot steam
- Dry compressed air
- Rubber protectant
- UV-C germicidal irradiation
- Elbow grease. Lots of elbow grease.
