Cleaning and Storing the Croozer Cargo
Long-term storage
If you will not be using your Croozer Cargo for an extended
period of time, for example over the winter months, then
prepare the vehicle for storage as follows:
1. Clean the Croozer Cargo thoroughly as described
above.
2. Allow the Croozer Cargo to dry completely, and apply
paste wax to protect the metal parts from corrosion.
3. Store the Croozer Cargo in a dry, dust-free and well-
ventilated room. Cover the Croozer Cargo with an
appropriate sheet or tarp/tarpaulin.
To prevent mildew and mould growth, the Croozer Cargo
must be completely dry and clean before being put into
storage.
Tip: To save space, the Croozer Cargo can be stored in
its folded state.
4. Inner tubes will slowly lose pressure over time. Storing
the Croozer Cargo on  at tyres for an extended period
of time could damage the tyres. Therefore, if you plan
to store the Croozer Cargo several weeks or months,
it should be either hung from the wall or ceiling or
propped up with its wheels off the ground. Otherwise,
check the tyre pressure periodically, and keep the
tyres in ated.
5. Before using your Croozer Cargo after a long period
of storage – for example, if you have stored it over the
winter – check that it is in perfect working order, and
have it serviced by a professional bicycle mechanic.
Preparing the Croozer Cargo for disposal
The Croozer Cargo is extremely durable and robust. How-
ever, if the vehicle must be disposed of, e.g., owing to se-
vere damage etc., then contact your Croozer dealer, who
can help you dispose of the Croozer Cargo, or individual
parts, in an environmentally sound manner. Furthermore,
be sure to dispose of any spare parts, such as tyres, in an
environmentally sound manner. In case of doubt, contact
your Croozer dealer.
Tip: The fabric of the Croozer Cargo body is not, in
itself, an ideal medium for the growth of mould and
mildew. Moulds feed off organic matter in the fabric,
e.g. food residues, dirt etc., and grow best in warm,
damp and humid conditions. Therefore, it is very
important that you follow these storage guidelines to
prevent mould growth.
However, if you do happen to find mould or mildew
on your Croozer Cargo, it can be cleaned in mild
cases, using a mild alcohol-based cleaning agent,
5% household vinegar or a 5% sodium bicarbonate
solution. NEVER USE HARSH CHEMICAL FUNGI-
CIDES. For severe cases of mould or mildew, the
fabric body must be replaced. Contact a Croozer
dealer.
