They aren't detachable, and they are thoroughly minging at the moment. Bleach probably isn't a good option...bicarbonate of soda? Any ideas how to get them clean again?

dilute some milton fluid or maybe bicarb and vinegar might work, make a paste out of it, use an old toothbrush? you could do it at night, if you need to use them today?

They stink too, dont they.
A pan scourer or nail brush and lots of handwash or fairy.

I used to steam clean my old M&P highchair, the harness came up quite well. Neat washing up liquid on a toothbrush might also work for any greasy marks and then rinse it through in clean water.

My friend tried putting a bowl in the seat of the chair and soaking as much as possible of them in that. Also I would try an old toothbrush and scrubbing them with that.

Can you definitely not remove them? What is your seat? We have to get the screw driver out to remove ours but they do come off.

I chucked mine out when it got this bad - not the most practical move I ever made though

actually cod that was exactly what I did - being able to chuck them in the washing machine is sooooooo much easier
