How It Works
Book a clean
Choose what needs cleaning, tell us the make and model.
Pick your time and pay
Choose a slot from our calendar and pay by card at the end of the booking.
We clean it properly
We look up your model, follow its care instructions, wash the fabrics, detail the frame and wheels, then air-dry everything completely.
Back within 2 business days
We return it in your window, or you collect it from us.
Inside a Deep Clean
Step 1: Every fabric comes off
We look up the care instructions for your exact model first. Then pads, covers, harness sleeves and inserts all come off. If the manufacturer says it is removable, we remove it.
Step 2: Vacuumed to the bare frame
Every seam, channel and hidden corner, right down to the bare frame.
Step 3: Washed the way the label says
Dr. Bronner’s Sal Suds and a soft sponge by hand, or Tide Free & Gentle in the machine when the label allows it. Water at whatever temperature the manufacturer specifies. Nothing is ever tumble-dried.
Step 4: Rebuilt exactly as it was
Every strap is rethreaded the way we found it, and nothing comes back to you until it is completely dry.
The questions we would ask too.
- What do we do without a stroller for two business days?
- Add Express when you book and it is back within 1 business day. If you can plan a day or two without it, the standard 2 business days return saves you the extra 20 dollars.
- How do I know you will not wreck it or use something harsh on it?
- We clean to your model’s own care instructions, not a generic method, which is why we ask for the make and model when you book. We wash with Dr. Bronner’s Sal Suds and Tide Free & Gentle, at whatever water temperature the manufacturer specifies, and rinse thoroughly. Harness webbing and buckles are cleaned strictly as the manufacturer directs.

Local and family-run
Hi, we’re Mark and Christine.
A stroller is one of the hardest-working things a family owns, and one of the hardest to clean properly. It is too big for the washing machine, full of crevices, and you cannot be without it for a week.
So we built the service we would want ourselves. We take it apart, clean it the way the manufacturer intended, and have it back in two business days.

FAQ
Questions, answered.
Still wondering about something? Email freshstroll.sf@gmail.com and we will get back to you as soon as we can.
How long will I be without my gear?
It is ready 2 business days after pickup, or 1 business day with Express, and comes back at the return time you choose when you book.
What do you need from me when I book?
What needs cleaning, the make and model of any stroller, car seat or baby item, and your address if you want pickup. The model matters: it is how we look up the exact care instructions to follow.
Which products do you use?
Gentle, premium products only. Dr. Bronner’s Sal Suds for hand-washing, which is EWG Verified with an A rating, plant-based, biodegradable and free of synthetic fragrance and dyes. Tide Free & Gentle for anything the care label allows in the machine, which is free of dyes and perfumes. Water temperature follows the manufacturer’s directions for each piece.
Do you clean car seats?
Yes, within the limits the manufacturers set. Covers and pads are washed to the care label. Harness webbing and buckles are cleaned strictly as the manufacturer directs. We do not accept seats that are expired, recalled or have been in a crash.
Where do you pick up and drop off, and what does it cost?
Pickup and return is $40 round trip in San Francisco and Daly City, and $55 in Pacifica, South San Francisco, Brisbane and Millbrae. If you would rather skip the fee, drop off and collect from us instead.
Do I need to be home for pickup?
Someone needs to hand the gear over during the window you booked, or you can leave it in a spot we agree on in advance.
What if a stain will not come out?
Some older stains are permanent. We will let you know if we are not able to remove one completely. If you are not happy with the clean, tell us within 2 business days and we will redo it free.
Do you serve Oakland, Marin or the rest of the Peninsula?
Not yet, but you are welcome to drop off and collect from us wherever you live.
