For many, a motorhome is a practical and comfortable home away from home. RVs have kitchens, bathrooms, bedrooms, and even extra levels . That's a lot of areas that can get dirty. So what's the best way to keep your RV spotless? Here are the best ways to clean different surfaces in your RV, straight from one of the best known RV manufacturers.
Plastic
According to Winnebago , you should only use mild cleaners without harsh chemicals on the plastic parts of your RV. This means there is no acetone, benzene or similar ingredients commonly found in household solutions. You could weaken or dissolve the plastic if you apply too much.
Also, avoid bleach as it can discolor or corrode the plastic. For stubborn stains, scrub the area well with a melamine sponge.
vinyl fabrics
Although simulated wood wall panels are impervious to rot, vinyl still discolors easily. Clean it with a washcloth and water-based detergent. Do not clean your RV vinyl wrap with solvents, acetone-based cleaners, or waxes.
vinyl floor
As with vinyl cloths, avoid applying solvent-based cleaners or waxes to your RV's vinyl floor. Using commercially available wipe and shine products will leave a film on your floor and may degrade color quality over time.
Instead, clean your RV floors with a non-abrasive cleaner and rinse the area with warm water. Before you begin, remove any residue from the floor with a vacuum or broom. Consider covering high-traffic areas with area rugs or floor mats to protect them from scratches and dirt.
Accountant
Most RVs have non-porous countertops with an artificial solid surface. You can use an ammonia-based cleaner or warm, soapy water to clean them. Although they contain bleach, liquid and gel cleaners are generally safe for your RV countertops. Rinse with clean water and dry the area when finished.
Some high-end RVs have granite countertops. They should also be cleaned with dish soap and warm water. Stay away from bleach and other cleaning products that contain harsh chemicals.
Also, granite is easily scratched, so use caution when using abrasive scouring pads on stains. Avoid granite stains by cleaning the area as soon as a spill occurs.
curtains and curtains
Cleaning your RV curtains in a conventional washing machine can cause them to shrink. If possible, use a professional dry cleaning service. Some shades can be washed on the gentlest cycle, but always read your instruction manual first.
Bathtubs and shower screens
Scouring agents can leave streaks and discolouration. In most cases, warm water and dish soap are enough to keep your RV bathroom clean .
wooden surfaces
For wood surfaces, dampen a soft cloth with wood treatment solution and wipe the area clean. Avoid excessive amounts of water.
leatherette
Alcohol-based cleaners are safe for stubborn stains on leatherette seats and other surfaces. The faux fur is easy to clean with mild soap and water, which you can set aside and allow to air dry.
Stainless steel
Use hot water and dish soap to clean stainless steel appliances and fixtures. For greasy stains, you may need to scrub the area with a warm water and baking soda paste.
Rinse the area with clean water. Because RV tap water often leaves hard deposits behind, wipe stainless steel down with a microfiber cloth immediately after rinsing.
