"People Outraged After Facebook User Gifts Mom a Buggy So Dirty It Needs a Pressure Washer!"

A Facebook Marketplace user has faced criticism for giving a mother a buggy that was so filthy that people suggested it needed “a pressure washer.”

Facebook Marketplace is filled with hidden treasures, whether it’s items to enhance your home or practical goods. However, one astonished mother was taken aback when she received a free buggy from the platform.

Mother-of-two Jade McKelvie was so horrified by the condition of the item that she said she “regretted” every decision she made leading up to bringing it home.

While the “working mom” knew the free item would be “dirty,” nothing could have prepared her for the grim surprises she later discovered.

In a jaw-dropping TikTok video, Jade—whose children are two and four—explained that her family was planning a holiday and she needed a buggy to take with them.

However, upon fully opening the buggy, Jade realized that basic cleaning wouldn’t suffice and agreed she might have to use a pressure washer, as suggested by shocked TikTok viewers.

Additionally, the entire surface was covered in dried mud and debris, and Jade experienced a shocking moment when she found a live wasp tucked away on the hood.

In her stunning video , she showcased the three wasps, two of which appeared lifeless.

“Not sure what to do with this buggy? Should I try to clean it? Or should I just throw it away?” Jade asked, seeking advice from others.

“Does anyone have any good cleaning tips? Because, honestly, I want to use it and take it on holiday.”

Despite appreciating that the buggy was free and knowing it would be “dirty,” she “really didn’t expect it to be this bad.”

Uploaded two days ago under the username @ jades_family , the clip has gone viral, accumulating over 800k views.

Many viewers expressed their shock and dismay, with hundreds commenting to criticize the Facebook Marketplace user.

One commenter stated: “Whoever sold that should be embarrassed for giving it to you in that condition.”

“There’s no way I would let my kids use that, even if it were cleaned up,” remarked another parent.

“Even if it was free, I couldn’t possibly give this to someone in this condition… girl, you’re brave,” a third commenter added.

While many said they would refuse to use the dirty buggy, others shared their suggestions for improving its condition.

One mother mentioned: “We received this exact buggy for free, and it was in a similar state. Everything is removable and washable.”

“I washed it once with Dettol and a second time with regular laundry detergent and oxy action to tackle any stains. For the frame, I simply poured bleach over it, doused it with boiling water, scrubbed it with an old brush, and rinsed it off with cold water.”

“It definitely doesn’t need to be thrown away; it just requires some effort.”
