Simple cleaning methods for RVs
Cleaning your RV is essential to maintaining this vehicle. Some parts of your RV will be easy to maintain and you can clean them yourself, others will need to be cleaned by a professional. A sunny day is gorgeous but it takes a toll on your paint and upholstery inside the RV. The interior of your RV should be comparable to a luxury home-certainly as far as cleanliness is concerned. Cleaning your RV is very similar to cleaning a traditional house. There is the bedroom, bathroom, closets, electronics, and the kitchen which all need certain types of cleaning and attention. To conduct a thorough cleaning, you need the proper tools, equipment, and training. You can expect a professional to conduct an intense cleaning interior areas of your RV. Get your RV cleaned by a professional up to two times per year to maintain the quality and value of your RV, plus it will look great.
Bathroom
To clean your bathroom you can pour baking soda and lemon juice into the toilet and allow it to sit for 15 minutes. For deeper stains, you can apply more baking soda and lemon juice and allow it to sit for longer. Wipe down the toilet’s exterior with disinfecting wipes. A mirror can be cleaned streak free with vinegar and a microfiber cloth, the result will be a gorgeous shine.
Exterior
Most RV owners are proud and cannot stand to see their prized possession covered in dirt. Unless your vehicle is specifically intended for off-roading and mudding type of activities, you want your vehicle clean and can't bear to see it otherwise. Many RV owners are aware, but in case you didn’t know, you can use top quality car wash to clean your RV too. Many cleaning products created to wash RVs are actually too mild and don't pack a punch when it comes to cleaning. These extremely mild products are meant for brand new RVs in nearly perfect condition. Aim for a high-quality wash that would be used on a high-end car. Make cleaning simple. Begin with the roof and then work your way down each side completing one side at a time until all sides are washed and dried. Avoid using city municipal water and allowing the RV to drip-dry. The minerals in the city water will put hard water spots on your RV and it can even etch into the paint.
Upholstery
You, your family, and friends spend hours sitting on your couches, chairs, and other furniture so it will need to be cleaned periodically.

RVs have specific materials that have to be clean in a certain way. RVs have painted metal, unpainted metal, and fiberglass. All of these materials require a certain type of brush and washing solution. RVs that have a metal body are typically older brands. Most often they are stainless steel and aluminum which is best cleaned with a prewash and then a non-abrasive cleaner. The cleaner should be applied with soft mitts or soft bristle brushes. RVs that have painted metal bodies can be treated like any car, basic car cleaner works well with soft bristle brushes.
