The Mockingbird [**High Chair**](https://hellomockingbird.com/products/mockingbird-high-chair) is designed with easy cleaning in mind! Here's a detailed guide on how to clean each part effectively:
### **1\. Removable Tray Liner**
* The [**Tray Liner**](https://hellomockingbird.com/products/high-chair-tray-liner-replacement) is top rack dishwasher-safe
* Wipe down with soap and warm water for quick cleaning
* Place on the top rack of the dishwasher for a deeper clean
* Make sure your Tray Liner is totally dry before re-attaching it to your Tray
### **2\. Adjustable Tray**
* While the Tray is not dishwasher-safe, it's easy to hand wash
* Wipe the Tray down with mild soap and a damp cloth or wet sponge
* Do not soak, spray, or submerge in water
* To dry, shake vertically with the openings down to remove any excess water, wipe with a dry cloth or paper towel
* Finish by air drying upright (as seen in the photo below) with the openings exposed so any remaining moisture can drip out
### **3\. Baby Seat**
* The Baby Seat is not dishwasher-safe, so wipe it down with soap and water — do not submerge
* You can pinch and raise the Belly Bar to clean where it connects to the seat
* Wipe dry and allow to air dry fully before use
### 4\. Dealing with Stubborn Food Stains on the Tray or Baby Seat
For stains from colorful, beta-carotene rich foods (like carrots, sweet potatoes, and pumpkin):
* Apply **olive or vegetable oil** to a paper towel
* Wipe the stained area until clean
* Repeat as necessary, allowing the oil to set in before wiping
### **5\. Silicone Harness Straps**
* Our unique silicone straps are laundry machine washable!
* For light messes, simply wipe down and air dry
* For tougher stains, machine wash on a cold, gentle cycle inside of a mesh garment bag, then air dry
For easy cleaning, you can see how to remove the Harness here:
### 6\. Magnetic Buckle
* Clean your buckle regularly
* If the buckle becomes difficult to use or has visible food buildup, you can remove it and rinse all parts under warm running water while squeezing and releasing the side buttons
* You can also clean the buckle assembly in a washing machine on a cold, gentle cycle inside of a mesh garment bag, then air dry
### **7\. High Chair Frame**
The 100% solid beechwood frame requires minimal cleaning:
* Use soap and water for minor messes
* Avoid excessive scrubbing to maintain the wood finish
### Additional Cleaning Tips
* Clean your High Chair after each use to prevent buildup
* Do not use bleach on any part of your High Chair
* Always ensure all parts are completely dry before reassembling
* Pro Tip: For those hard-to-reach spots and crevices, a soft-bristled toothbrush or straw cleaning brush works wonders! Small brushes like these are perfect for getting into any small nooks and crannies of the High Chair
