Cleaning caravans and motorhomes: How to get your vehicle sparkling clean!
Cleaning your caravan or motorhome is not only important for its appearance, but also for its longevity. Regularly cleaning your vehicle protects it against the effects of the weather, dirt and algae, which can damage the material. But how do you clean your mobile home properly? In this guide, you will learn everything you need to know to optimally clean your RV.
Cleaning the outside of caravans and motorhomes: Focus on the paintwork and roof
Start by cleaning the exterior of your caravan or motorhome. Use special cleaning agents for motorhomes that are gentle on the surface and do not damage the paintwork. The roof deserves particular attention, as dirt and moss can easily accumulate there. Use soft brushes or telescopic poles to thoroughly clean hard-to-reach areas. Be careful not to use a high-pressure cleaner, as this can damage the seals.
Cleaning the inside of caravans and motorhomes: Hygiene in the smallest of spaces
The interior of your caravan or motorhome also needs to be cleaned regularly. Here, you should not only pay attention to cleanliness, but also to hygiene. The kitchen and bathroom in particular need to be cleaned thoroughly to prevent mould and unpleasant odours. Use environmentally friendly cleaning agents that leave no harmful residues.
Preparing caravans and motorhomes for the winter
It is particularly important to thoroughly clean and winterise your vehicle before the onset of winter. Before you park your vehicle for the winter, you should clean it thoroughly both inside and out. Empty all water pipes, the boiler and the water tank to prevent frost damage. Check seals and hinges to prevent moisture damage. Close the windows and doors tightly and park your caravan or motorhome in a dry and well-ventilated area. If possible, protect it additionally with a tarpaulin or cover.
Why is proper cleaning important?
Regularly cleaning your caravan or motorhome not only ensures better value retention, but also makes travelling more comfortable. Dirt and deposits can cause long-term damage, which can be expensive to repair. With the right care, you can prevent this and optimally protect your vehicle. Preparing your vehicle for the winter is particularly important so that you can start the new camping season in spring without any problems.
Look forward to sparkling clean camping adventures – no matter the season!
