Items You’ll Need
While you’re shopping for cleaning products, remember to pick the travel-sized versions. This way, they will be easier to manage and use on your trip. Some of the items that you’ll want to take along include dish soap, cleaning solutions, sponges, and microfiber wipes.
Bathroom
To clean the toilet, use an RV-specific toilet brush and a gentle cleaning solution. Harsh chemicals can easily damage it, which you’ll want to avoid at all costs, right? Before you start cleaning it, remember to fill the bowl with water and flush it a few times to completely remove the chemicals.
Kitchen
One area that you’ll want to frequently clean is the kitchen. From doing the dishes to wiping the countertops and fixtures to cleaning the fridge, you’ll want to clean up all the mess. It will be a good idea to encourage all the members of the traveling group to help you keep this area clean. When the shelves are free of clutter and the kitchenware stacked away neatly, it will make your trip even more pleasurable.
Vents
Your RV’s vents can get clogged up sooner than you thought. Dirt and grime can easily accumulate on the vents in the bathroom and kitchen area and fail to function properly. To clean them, scrub them from the inside and wash the screens and filters. Let the vents air dry properly before you hit the roads.
Floor
If you have a hard floor, you’ll want to mop it and use a disinfectant solution. If the floor is carpeted, you’ll want to vacuum the entire space and use a solution to remove stains. We recommend that you use a handheld vacuum cleaner, as it is portable and will take up less room.
Carpet cleaning requires extra effort – you may want to fix a plan to periodically clean it.
