Thanks for the pro tip! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/putting-booster-seat-in-the-dishwasher#post-2507600 Sun, 27 Mar 2016 17:39:09 +0000 mrsrain 2507600@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@HappyBaker: we got ours used 2 years ago and the straps were already stained. Lately it's been extra gross so I tried this out. Not only is the chair super clean, but the straps are spotless! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/putting-booster-seat-in-the-dishwasher#post-2506143 Thu, 24 Mar 2016 20:17:05 +0000 HappyBaker 2506143@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@pregnantbee: Yay, glad it worked for you! I will say, I washed mine last week and it's already filthy again, ugh! But at least now I know if I want it to look nice for a hot minute I can throw it in there :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/putting-booster-seat-in-the-dishwasher#post-2506050 Thu, 24 Mar 2016 19:00:34 +0000 pregnantbee 2506050@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@HappyBaker: You are my hero. That seat looks like we have never used it. Believe me, that thing was gross. So, thank you, thank you.</p> <p>ETA: I removed the top rack, and that worked great! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/putting-booster-seat-in-the-dishwasher#post-2505907 Thu, 24 Mar 2016 16:25:24 +0000 MrsBrewer 2505907@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@BadgerMom: Its funny you say that, because my husband just did that the other day!! We got the straps off and threw them in the washing machine!! Now they're just like brand new! I don't know why i didn't think of that before! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/putting-booster-seat-in-the-dishwasher#post-2505906 Thu, 24 Mar 2016 16:24:12 +0000 BadgerMom 2505906@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsBrewer: See if you can remove the straps. I've been able to remove the straps on ours with a little effort and the help of a butter knife and put them in the washing machine. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/putting-booster-seat-in-the-dishwasher#post-2505899 Thu, 24 Mar 2016 16:19:21 +0000 pregnantbee 2505899@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@HappyBaker: LOL will report back. Thanks! It's so gross that I can't wait to see the "after." </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/putting-booster-seat-in-the-dishwasher#post-2505887 Thu, 24 Mar 2016 16:14:31 +0000 HappyBaker 2505887@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@pregnantbee: Yup that's how I put it in, I just twisted the straps around the plate rack parts so they wouldn't dangle into the bottom. You could see if you can easily remove the top rack maybe? Then it'd definitely fit just sitting up, but I'm not sure if that just slides out or is a huge pain, good luck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/putting-booster-seat-in-the-dishwasher#post-2505884 Thu, 24 Mar 2016 16:12:35 +0000 pregnantbee 2505884@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@HappyBaker: Hmmm. I'm scared to break it....and/or not be able to get it back together after. Did you put the seat in upside down so the bottom of the seat faces up? And how did you get the straps not to fall down? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/putting-booster-seat-in-the-dishwasher#post-2505881 Thu, 24 Mar 2016 16:11:16 +0000 HappyBaker 2505881@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@pregnantbee: Yes that's the same one I have! You should be able to push the seat forward so its folded over 90 degrees, and then pull it to one side so it snaps out. It takes a bit of force to pull it out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/putting-booster-seat-in-the-dishwasher#post-2505875 Thu, 24 Mar 2016 16:07:46 +0000 pregnantbee 2505875@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@HappyBaker: I'm just about to do this but can't figure out how to get the plastic back off.</p> <p>Here's the one I have. Ideas?</p> <p>ETA: I removed the link b/c it was so long, but it was the Fisher Price Healthy Care Deluxe </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/putting-booster-seat-in-the-dishwasher#post-2504860 Wed, 23 Mar 2016 22:17:12 +0000 QBbride 2504860@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The dishwasher is my new favourite thing!</p> <p>I just put my ENTIRE Phil &amp; teds lobster chair in the dishwasher and it looks brand new! I also took the straps off our booster chair and put those in (wasn't sure about putting the whole chair in). </p> <p>I always put my son's skip hop zoo lunch kit in the dishwasher and it looks brand new again too!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/putting-booster-seat-in-the-dishwasher#post-2504825 Wed, 23 Mar 2016 21:21:41 +0000 HappyBaker 2504825@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@littlebug: @skipra: Yay, glad it worked for you guys too! I feel like I'll be cleaning it so much more often now that I know how easy it can be :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/putting-booster-seat-in-the-dishwasher#post-2504797 Wed, 23 Mar 2016 20:28:34 +0000 MamaChin 2504797@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Holy moly, definitely doing this tomm! Also, for the disgusting chair problem, we've avoided a lot of it by putting contact paper on our chairs. I just let the kids rip off their gross papers and replace as needed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/putting-booster-seat-in-the-dishwasher#post-2504728 Wed, 23 Mar 2016 19:09:10 +0000 skipra 2504728@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@HappyBaker: want to say thanks again for posting this. Yesterday DS dumped his blueberry/spinach smoothie in his lap and it was a MESS! I popped off the seat and put it through the dishwasher on a short wash and it was nearly perfect! If I hadn't read this I would have been hand washing and running the straps through the laundry. This was so much easier. Thank you! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/putting-booster-seat-in-the-dishwasher#post-2504703 Wed, 23 Mar 2016 18:41:37 +0000 regberadaisy 2504703@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@littlebug: lol awesome </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/putting-booster-seat-in-the-dishwasher#post-2504694 Wed, 23 Mar 2016 18:34:04 +0000 littlebug 2504694@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@HappyBaker: I tried it today and it worked so well! My husband thought I'd bought a new one, ha ha! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/putting-booster-seat-in-the-dishwasher#post-2500883 Sun, 20 Mar 2016 12:00:21 +0000 pregnantbee 2500883@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@regberadaisy: @HappyBaker: Thanks so much for this idea. Can't wait to try it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/putting-booster-seat-in-the-dishwasher#post-2500810 Sun, 20 Mar 2016 08:26:12 +0000 HappyBaker 2500810@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@regberadaisy: so glad it worked for you!</p> <p>@pregnantbee: yup bottom rack and just make sure the straps aren't dangling underneath. I just did the setting I use for dishes which is like auto clean with a hot rinses. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/putting-booster-seat-in-the-dishwasher#post-2500771 Sun, 20 Mar 2016 06:20:26 +0000 regberadaisy 2500771@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@pregnantbee: it won't fit in the top rack of mine and had to go in the bottom. I made sure torn tend the legs too. And the back comes off. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/putting-booster-seat-in-the-dishwasher#post-2500733 Sat, 19 Mar 2016 22:52:07 +0000 pregnantbee 2500733@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@HappyBaker: Brilliant. We have the same problem. Is there a particular setting you used? Bottom rack? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/putting-booster-seat-in-the-dishwasher#post-2500635 Sat, 19 Mar 2016 18:52:23 +0000 regberadaisy 2500635@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@HappyBaker: I did this today and the booster seat hasn't been this clean since the day we've bought it! And I've scrubbed it in the tub before! Thanks for the idea! I figured how to fold the back down but not how to snap it off. Lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/putting-booster-seat-in-the-dishwasher#post-2498449 Thu, 17 Mar 2016 16:28:48 +0000 mrswin 2498449@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@HappyBaker: add me to the list of people trying this out this weekend. My husband loves to put EVERYTHING in the dishwasher so I'm sure he will be thrilled to try this :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/putting-booster-seat-in-the-dishwasher#post-2498160 Thu, 17 Mar 2016 13:30:28 +0000 MrsF 2498160@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We do the same thing! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/putting-booster-seat-in-the-dishwasher#post-2498093 Thu, 17 Mar 2016 12:51:38 +0000 HappyBaker 2498093@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@daniellemybelle: I did have to remove the top seat back part, it folds down and then snaps out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/putting-booster-seat-in-the-dishwasher#post-2498092 Thu, 17 Mar 2016 12:51:02 +0000 HappyBaker 2498092@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ha okay everyone please don't blame me if something bad happens to your chair in your dishwasher! I'll feel really bad if everyone else melts them or something!! But I figured you can put the tray part in there for sure and the rest of it is the same plastic, so why not?</p> <p>@edelweiss: I totally agree, the chair underneath it is even worse! So many crumbs and sticky things! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/putting-booster-seat-in-the-dishwasher#post-2498089 Thu, 17 Mar 2016 12:48:39 +0000 daniellemybelle 2498089@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What a great idea! I'm going to see if mine fits! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/putting-booster-seat-in-the-dishwasher#post-2498085 Thu, 17 Mar 2016 12:46:44 +0000 littlebug 2498085@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This just made my day. Trying it tomorrow, for sure. Our chair is just foul. Thank you! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/putting-booster-seat-in-the-dishwasher#post-2498067 Thu, 17 Mar 2016 12:38:52 +0000 brownepiano 2498067@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Wow! It didn't do anything to the plastic? I'm always a little afraid of putting things in the dishwasher but the straps on ours are really gross too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/putting-booster-seat-in-the-dishwasher#post-2498053 Thu, 17 Mar 2016 12:33:21 +0000 Mrs. Champagne 2498053@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Great idea!! </p>
