DC Tot Squad

As busy parents, it’s a challenge to find the time and energy to keep everything clean. We outsource our home cleaning to a maid service. We outsource our car cleaning to an auto detailing service. And now, thanks to DC Tot Squad, we can outsource the cleaning and installation of our baby gear.

DC Tot Squad comes to the rescue of busy parents everyday by cleaning and repairing their strollers and car seats.  They offer services at your personal residence (a service that actually comes to you), as well as a few retail locations. They offer four cleaning packages that use natural, non-toxic cleaners from the Honest Company, and can repair most stroller brands, including Bugaboo, Orbitbaby, Uppababy, and Maclaren.

They recommend parents clean their gear every three months to keep it not only looking great, but also in tip-top shape from a health and safety standpoint. Car seat buckles can get sticky and difficult to unbuckle in an emergency and strollers can harbor dangerous bacteria like E. Coli and Salmonella. By regularly maintaining your baby gear, it can extend its useful life and be passed down to siblings or families in need.

I recently had the pleasure of meeting DC Tot Squad owner Hayden Little. A former Systems Development consultant at Booz Allen Hamilton, she graduated from George Mason University with a BS in Business Management. As a busy mom to Kennedy (2 years old) and James (6 months), she recognized the need for services in the Washington DC area that would help other busy parents.

Hayden and a member of her staff came out to service a lucky Clarendon Moms reader. Cheryl Householder received a complimentary service that included a cleaning of one car seat and one booster seat. To say the car seats were grimy is an understatement. If they weren’t dirty, there wouldn’t be a need for a service like Tot Squad. And I’m certain most parents will be happy that they exist!

“We decided to come to terms with our procrastination and call the experts to get the job done. DC Tot Squad came to our house and in about an hour, I could not believe my eyes (or nose) when I saw my kids’ hardly recognizable car seats. They looked brand-spanking new and smelled fresh, thanks to their organic kid-safe cleaning products. Right up there with cleaning car seats, I’ll admit to loathing installing car seats. Well, they installed them both perfectly and snugly, as the team is certified car seat installers. I could not have been more impressed with the professionalism and efficiency of the crew.

If you’re like me and so many other parents and in a perpetual state of procrastination when it comes to cleaning your children’s car seats, re-installing them–I’d highly recommend outsourcing it to the pros. It may seem like a bit of a first-world service at first, but I guarantee it is worth every penny!”
