Wd40 and soapy water.

Fill a bowl with soapy water and spray on bits of wd40. Then start to wring and squeeze it. More WD40, more squeeze until its nice and clean.

Leave for 24 hours (preferably on a window sill in the sun)

It should be bone dry by now.

Then apply either that spray air filter sticky stuff or buy oil (mine is green) and then drench it in that and put it straight in the bike. Cover the edges of the plastic with some form of grease to catch any dirt arond the edges and to make a fairly decent seal.

Thats what I and my mates do with my old/their crossers.
