Sometimes, hiring a professional RV cleaning service isn't in the budget. Have no fear road warriors, check out these tips to keep your recreational vehicle clean and road ready! First, start by opening all the interior windows in order to allow air circulation. Letting the space ‘breathe’ releases any stuffy or stale air. 1. Inspect the ceilings of the RV. Look for discoloration, which could indicate RV water damage. Start with a simple wipe down of the ceiling. Once this section of cleaning is complete, turn the fan on for increased air circulation. 2. Empty cabinets and toss anything from last camping season that’s no longer useable. Once cabinets are empty, start wiping the interior clean with bleach and hot water (or your preferred cleaning solution) and go from one side of the RV to the other. 3. Remove bedding, cushions and drapes Bedding : Wash, dry and replace Cushions : Wash any removable cushion covers or use a vacuum attachment Drapery : Either remove and shake off dust or clean appropriately and replace Be careful before applying cleaning products to fabrics as some RV upholsteries contain fire and stain retardant that may cause fading or shrinking. 4. Clean floors and carpets. It`s a great idea to buy a portable vacuum cleaner or small whiskbroom with dustpan to keep in your RV.
