Full stroller disassembly wash at Ppallaebang Gajang, Bucheon

If you've got a baby, the stroller is honestly one of those childcare items you use every single day.

Why I decided to send the stroller out for washing

In our house too, every time we headed out with the stroller, I started noticing all the spots you can't see. My kid especially likes eating snacks and drinking milk while sitting in the stroller, so crumbs kept getting wedged between the seat parts, and milk got spilled more than a few times.

It didn't look too dirty from the outside, so I'd just been wiping it down with wet wipes, but a few days ago my kid suddenly threw up in the stroller. That's when I figured a quick home wipe-down wasn't going to cut it anymore — I needed to send it to a proper stroller laundry specialist.

The stroller I sent in this time is a Y-Up Genies2.

Ppallaebang Gajang: baby-item laundry specialists in Bucheon

Since this is something my baby uses every day, I wanted a place that specializes in baby gear rather than somewhere that just removes stains, and that's how I found Gajang. I heard they specialize in washing strollers, car seats and other childcare items, so I talked to them and sent mine in.

What I liked most was that they don't just wipe the surface — they fully disassemble the stroller before washing. The visible seat part matters, sure, but snack crumbs, milk and all kinds of dust easily get stuck in the gaps. Especially for a kid like mine who snacks constantly in the stroller, that's something you can't ignore.

Disassembly washing and natural detergent

At Gajang, they first check the condition of the stains, then disassemble the stroller and wash the parts separately, I was told. Since it's a product my baby uses, the detergent mattered too — Gajang uses 8 safe, natural ingredients including soap nuts, sodium percarbonate and baking soda, which put my mind more at ease.

Steam sterilization and a second round of UV sterilization

The process doesn't just end with washing — they also do frame steam sterilization, drying, and a second round of UV sterilization.

How does free doorstep pickup and delivery work?

What I really appreciated was not having to carry the stroller out to a laundry shop myself — free doorstep pickup and delivery was available. You can book via Naver Reservation, phone, or text; after prepaying and scheduling a pickup, they collect it from your door after 6pm on the day you requested. Carrying a stroller out anywhere while raising a baby is already a hassle, so not having to bring it in person was more convenient than I expected.

Washing usually takes about 3-4 days, covering disassembly, washing, drying, sterilization and reassembly, before it's packaged neatly and delivered back.

Our Y-Up Genies2 had been through daily snacks and spilled milk, plus that vomiting incident a few days before, so I felt good about finally getting it properly taken care of. Even if a stroller looks clean on the outside, since a baby uses it every day, it's worth having it professionally washed every once in a while.

If your kid snacks often in the stroller or spills milk like mine does, or if you're out and about a lot and dust builds up fast, looking into a stroller cleaning specialist in Bucheon seems like a solid option.

Wiping with wet wipes vs. full disassembly washing

Sending the Y-Up Genies2 to Gajang really reminded me that a stroller is a piece of baby gear that needs regular maintenance too. There's clearly a difference in care between wiping it down at home with wet wipes and having it professionally disassembled and washed.
