Before you hit the road for your next RV adventure, it is important to ensure that your RV is clean and in good condition. Cleaning your RV may seem like a daunting task, but with the right tools and tips, it can be a breeze! In this blog post, our team at Mountainland RV will discuss how to clean an RV and get it ready for your next big trip.

RV Interior

The interior of your RV needs to be clean to create a relaxing and fun environment for your travels. It’s best to clean the inside of your RV before and after each trip.

1. Remove Items

Start by removing all the clutter and unnecessary items from your RV. This will help you to have a clear view of the surfaces that need cleaning. It also gives you an opportunity to check your supplies and fine-tune your packing list!

2. Clean Surfaces and Flooring

Once you have removed all the unnecessary items, you’ll want to start cleaning the surfaces. Wipe down the countertops, furniture, shelves, and other areas with a dry cloth first, and then use a good quality cleaner to remove any stains and disinfect the area. Be sure to read the labels on the cleaners and use the recommended amount for the surfaces you are cleaning. Scrub the surfaces gently and rinse with water to remove any residue.

When you clean the kitchen, make sure to clean the sink and countertops with a mild cleaner and warm water. Make sure to clean the stove and oven as well to remove any grease and grime. Don't forget to clean the inside of the refrigerator and microwave as well! The kitchen is an important area to clean well to avoid unwanted mold and odors.

For the bathroom, use a good quality disinfectant to clean the toilet, sink, and shower. If there is any mold or mildew, use a mold and mildew remover to get rid of it. In each space, be sure to clean the floors and walls.

RV Exterior

The exterior of your RV shouldn’t be neglected, either! At least once a year you should clean the roof, underside, and body of your RV.

1. RV Wash

To remove built-up grime and dirt, start by rinsing your RV. In some situations, you can utilize a pressure washer, but a regular garden hose will work well, too. Once you’ve rinsed the exterior, use a mild cleaner and a soft brush to clean the awning, windows, and tires. You may need to repeat these steps several times. When you’re happy with the cleanliness of the exterior, allow it to dry and then apply wax or polish as needed.

In conclusion, cleaning the interior and exterior of your RV is an important task that should not be ignored. A clean and well-maintained RV will ensure a comfortable and enjoyable road trip.
