Ladies who bought the city mini double

Especially the green/gray.. I know there were a few.

Is anyone else having problems with the fabric getting mold/mildew stains on it? Mine is literally COVERED in them, after 5 months of use. I tried washing them with stain remover, it doesn't come out. It started mostly in eve's seat area, so i thought it was from her stickiness everywhere, but now its on the canopies, and in the foot rest area.. on natalie's side..  We keep it up on our covered porch 95% of the time, or its in the back of my car.. it doesn't get left out in the rain or anything..

I just put in a warranty claim on it, probably wont' be covered, but one can hope.. 

I wish I got the black now.

    Hopefully the warranty will cover it.  If not, use a salt and lemon juice mix (paste consistency) on the mildew spots.  Rub the paste in, let dry, then wash the fabric again.  It should remove the spots or help.  It's worked on the few pieces of fabric I've tried it with.

    Ohh, that sucks!  Ours is still in the box.  I think we got the orange and gray.  I would be so mad especially bc our single bob has no issue 2+ years later and DH has left it in the back of his truck with the top off a handful of times and it got rained on.

    I already got the response that they're not covering it.. Maybe I will try the lemon thing.. I've never had much luck getting mildew stains out of anything.

    What?  In less than 6 months of use?  I would buy a new one and return the mildewy one.  It's not right, but I wouldn't even care bc that is crap.

    That stinks! We have that one but not having any issues with it. I kept it in the garage and now it is in the basement, I will keep an eye on it! Let us know how you make out trying to clean it!

    We have the same color and have had no issues so far.  We always keep it in our mudroom or basement.  Let us know if you find a solution that works - we all may be running into the problem sooner or later!

    That's crazy! I wonder what is causing it. We have the same one too, but it's still in the box like jnk's. I would probably try a vinegar and water solution or maybe even straight white vinegar first and if that didn't work try using OdoBan. https://www.odoban.com/products/odobanr-ready-to-use/original-eucalyptus-scent.php I think you can find it at most stores.

    Oh man, I would be so pissed! We haven't had any problems with that so far, but now I am definitely going to be on the lookout. Good luck cleaning it.
