I bought a Jumperoo (baby jumper) from a yard sale for really cheap and the seat (which is bright red) has some mold or mildew spots on it. Does anyone know a good way to get these out or should I just replace the seat?
Do NOT use bleach! It can create an invisible gas and scar your lungs without you even knowing it! Use white vinegar only. I got permanently ill from using bleach on mold and the Red Cross told me to use a 50/50 solution of white vinegar and water only.
Don't rinse it off, it will leave an acid base that will prvent the mold from growing back; just air it out til the vinegar smell abates.
Peroxide clears mold and won't leave any strong odours that could harm a baby. Just put peroxide on mold stains with a dropper or cotton bud leave till stain fades wash with any soap rinse well an dry. hera48
Bleach will kill the mold, but not sure about the smell afterward. Either way do you really want your little one exposed to it? Also how old is the seat? Many are out of date as they have just changed the rules for baby seats. The best place to check that out is your local fire department. Take it in and let them see it. They will tell you if you can still safely use it. Sometimes a bargain just isn't a bargain, especially when a life is at stake.
