How to keep that RV looking fresh

Cleaning an RV involves several steps to ensure that both the interior and exterior are thoroughly cleaned and maintained. Here's a general guide on how to clean an RV:

1. Gather your supplies:
   • Soft bristle brush or sponge
   • Microfiber cloths
   • RV-safe cleaning products (specifically designed for RVs)
   • Glass cleaner
   • All-purpose cleaner
   • Rubber gloves
   • Bucket
   • Hose with a sprayer attachment
   • Extension ladder (if needed)
   • RV wax or polish (for exterior, if desired)
2. Exterior cleaning:
   • Start by rinsing the exterior of the RV with a hose to remove loose dirt and debris.
   • Mix the RV-safe cleaning solution in a bucket according to the manufacturer's instructions.
   • Use the soft bristle brush or sponge along with the cleaning solution to scrub the exterior surfaces, including the roof, windows, and walls.
   • Rinse thoroughly with water, ensuring that all cleaning solution residue is removed.
   • Dry the exterior using microfiber cloths to prevent water spots.
3. Interior cleaning:
   • Begin by removing any loose items or personal belongings from inside the RV.
   • Dust all surfaces, including countertops, furniture, and vents, using a microfiber cloth or a duster.
   • Vacuum the floors, carpets, and upholstery to remove dirt and debris.
   • Clean the windows and mirrors using a glass cleaner and a lint-free cloth.
   • Wipe down all surfaces with an RV-safe all-purpose cleaner, including countertops, tables, and cabinets.
   • Clean the kitchen appliances, such as the stove, oven, and refrigerator, using appropriate cleaning products designed for each.
   • Scrub the bathroom fixtures, including the sink, toilet, and shower, using RV-specific cleaners.
   • Mop the floors using a suitable floor cleaner or a mixture of water and mild detergent.
4. Additional steps:
• If desired, apply RV wax or polish to the exterior surfaces following the manufacturer's instructions. This step helps protect the RV from the elements and gives it a shiny finish.
• Inspect and clean the RV's awnings, if applicable, using a brush, mild soap, and water.
• Check and clean the air vents, filters, and screens.
• Don't forget to clean and sanitize the fresh water tanks, if needed, by following the manufacturer's guidelines.

Remember to always refer to the RV manufacturer's recommendations and any specific cleaning instructions provided for your particular model.
