Does anyone have advice on cleaning the shell of a True Fit? We just got back from Yosemite and I was switching out the TF for the Radian XTSL. The TF has chocolate milk in the plastic nooks and crannies.

Yes to all of the above....
Normally i can get it pretty clean simply with an angled nozzle attachment on my vacuum, then i sit down and use a damp cloth in the latch storage area (just spray it down really well with a cleaner, then stuff a cloth in there!). Finally i use a qtip to clean the yellow plastic crotch buckle are because having little crumbs in the lettering drives me NUTS

I just did this last night, after de-skunking DS1's seat from a nasty incident involving milk, pretzels and puke. I used a 20/80 mix of vinegar and water and a couple of drops of dawn dish soap. Paper towels and the bottle brush helped with the nooks and crannies. And I DID use a tooth brush on that sliding crotch strap bit.
I'm impressed by how well it cleaned up. Of course DS2 then spit up on the straps today... of course.

Looks like I will be arming myself with a tooth brush, cloth and q-tips in the morning! Thanks!
