A regular check or maintenance contributes not just to the safety of your child, but also extends the lifespan of your bicycle trailer.
Especially after longer rides or winter storage you should thoroughly check the trailer. Pay attention among other things to the canopy and the padding. Examine the individual parts for cracks, wear or possible mold formation. So you ensure that your trailer remains in flawless condition.
For cleaning your Qeridoo bicycle trailer you should only use water and standard household care products like dish soap, textile care products as well as soft cloths. Avoid sharp-edged aids or cleaners with abrasive effect. Also avoid acid- or solvent-containing cleaners.
Fabric covers should be thoroughly hand-washed. You can simply wipe the headrests and harness padding of the seat bench with a damp cloth – these parts must not be washed in the washing machine .
Washable covers can be washed at 30 degrees on the delicate cycle. There are however exceptions, like the Theraline cushion of the hammock Plus, which you can wash at 60 °C. The base headrest, on the other hand, may only be cleaned by hand-washing at maximum 40 °C.
Therefore, always pay attention to the specific care instructions in the user manual or on our website to learn the right cleaning temperatures for the various materials.
For comprehensive cleaning you can partially disassemble the fabric of your Qeridoo trailer . How you best care for your Qeridoo and remove the covers of the outer shell you'll learn in our instructions . Note that the disassembly can vary depending on the model.
Yellowed or cloudy windows are caused by sunlight and dirt. To make the view clear again, first clean them with lukewarm water and dish soap.
Then soak a soft cloth in a mixture of lukewarm water and a bit of gentle glass cleaner to clean the windows gently. For stubborn dirt you can also use a commercially available grease remover.
Make sure to thoroughly dry the windows before your child gets back into the bicycle trailer!
Moisture that forms on textiles can cause mold and damp spots – especially when the bicycle trailer is exposed to high humidity for longer periods . This can happen for example when stored outdoors or in damp rooms .
To avoid damage, you should regularly clean the bicycle trailer and let it dry completely.
After rides in rain or wet weather, you should carefully dry the child bicycle trailer before stowing. Absolutely avoid folding or covering the trailer while wet.
Tip: For rain rides use the optionally available rain protection, which you'll find in our accessory catalog. Remember that the trailer must also be thoroughly dried after the ride with a rain protection , before you store it.
Food remains and crumbs in the child bicycle trailer can promote mold formation. Particularly dangerous are milk or baby food remains, which can quickly lead to unpleasant smells and mold.
Therefore make sure to thoroughly remove all remains, before you store the bicycle trailer. This way you prevent not just mold, but also pests from nesting in the trailer.
For light mold infestation you can use mildly alcohol-containing cleaners or a mild soap solution – these are mostly effective in the early stages of mold formation.
However, avoid aggressive mold-killing agents, since they are harmful to your child's health. If the mold has already spread strongly , only replacing the affected fabric part helps. You'll find matching spare parts in our spare parts catalog.Last updated: February 5, 2026
Only water and standard household care products such as washing-up liquid or textile care products, together with soft cloths, are suitable for cleaning. Harsh, abrasive, acidic or solvent-based cleaning agents are to be avoided, as they can damage the materials. For the canopy an impregnating spray is also recommended, and for moving metal parts a silicone spray.
Washable covers can be cleaned in the washing machine at 30 degrees on a gentle cycle. Headrests and seat belt pads, by contrast, must not go in the washing machine – a damp cloth is enough here. There are exceptions depending on the model: the Theraline cushion of the Qeridoo Hammock Plus may be washed at 60 °C, whereas the base headrest may only be hand-washed at a maximum of 40 °C. The care instructions in the user manual are always binding.
The most important step is drying it consistently: after rides in the rain or in damp conditions, let the trailer dry completely before folding it up or storing it. Food remains, crumbs and milk or baby food residues should also be removed thoroughly after every use. In the winter months, storage in a dry, well-ventilated place is recommended.
First wipe the windows with lukewarm water and washing-up liquid. For stubborn discoloration caused by sunlight and dirt, a soft cloth soaked in lukewarm water with a gentle glass cleaner works well. For particularly stubborn dirt a standard grease remover can also be used. After cleaning, let the windows dry completely before the child gets back in.
No, that is not recommended. Pressure washers can permanently damage the seams, coatings and materials of the canopy and the padding. A strong jet of water can also drive moisture into areas that are hard to reach, which then dry poorly and encourage mold. It is better to work with a damp cloth and a mild cleaning agent.
Wipe the canopy regularly with a soft, damp cloth and then let it dry completely. To maintain the water-repellent effect, treatment with a suitable impregnating spray is recommended. After rides in the rain, always leave the canopy open and let it air-dry before the trailer is stowed away – never fold it up while damp.
Absolutely not. A bicycle trailer folded up while damp develops mold and mildew stains very quickly – especially in the folds of the canopy and the padding. After every ride in the wet, the trailer must dry completely before it is folded and stored. That also applies if a rain cover was used.
