Spring is here, and there’s no better time to give your RV a refreshing makeover after a long winter.

Shine windows and mirrors

Next, it's time to shine up those windows and mirrors. We recommend you ditch any vinegar-based cleaners as they can cause streaky glass. 

Opt for an ammonia-free solution instead. After a few spritzes and wipes, your RV will feel bright and airy again.

Clean the bathroom

The next step in the RV cleaning process is to tackle the bathroom, one of the most important areas to keep clean.

Armed with a trusty bathroom cleaner, banish soap scum and water spots from the tub, shower, sink, and toilet. 

Vacuum

Next, rid your ride of dust bunnies and crumbs lurking in the corners and under furniture. Make sure no rug, floor, cabinet, or mattress goes untouched. 

With each pass of the vacuum, you're one step closer to a fresh and tidy living space on wheels.

Top tip: When cleaning the inside of your RV, it's crucial to choose eco-responsible and biodegradable cleaners that don't contain disinfectants, bleach, or harsh chemicals. 

Not only are disinfectants and bleach harmful to the environment, but they also don't actually clean surfaces properly.

Tips for cleaning outside your RV

Once you've tackled the interior of your RV and it's looking spick and span, it's time to turn your attention to deep cleaning your RV's exterior.

Determine your RV's coating 

First, figure out if your RV has a finish or wax coating. Finishes like ceramic or gel coats dry hard and last longer without waxing. Waxes, on the other hand, dry soft and can hold onto dirt, requiring occasional re-waxing.

You can use the same cleaner for both finishes, as long as it's not too harsh. Look for cleaners with quality ingredients—they clean better and save time. 

Keep in mind that all good cleaners will remove a layer of wax to get rid of embedded dirt.

Gather your tools 

To get the best possible results from your RV cleaning tools, we recommend the following: 

• Eco-responsible, biodegradable cleaner like Gabe's Pride RV Streaker for high-performance results.
• Foam Cannon (if your cleaner requires foaming). This makes application a breeze.
• 8 ft extension pole to clean without needing a ladder.
• Water is the preferred method for thorough soil removal. But if water access is limited, consider using waterless cleaners available in the market.
• A soft brush or, if you have the Gabe's Pride Exterior Cleaning Kit, a soft cleaning head or microfiber pad and holder.
• Window cleaner for a crystal-clear finish on your windows.

Start with the sides 

Start your RV deep clean by focusing on the sides. Work from bottom to top, taking on small sections for thorough cleaning without streaks. This method offers control and excellent results.

Use the foam cannon applicator 

Grab your foam cannon and load it up with a cleaner. Give it a few minutes to work its magic, allowing it to penetrate through dirt and grime for a deeper clean.

Gently agitate the surface

After applying the cleaner, grab a soft cleaning head or pad and agitate the surface. This gentle RV washing process helps loosen stubborn debris without damaging your vehicle's finish.

Clean the roof

Move on to cleaning the RV  roof, taking it one section at a time to be sure you don't miss any dirt. Pay special attention to areas prone to buildup, like around vents and air conditioners. 

Refresh awnings

You have two options for cleaning awnings. First, spray RV Streaker on them, roll them up, wait 5 minutes, then unroll and agitate if necessary before rinsing. 

Or you can use a cleaning head or microfiber pad to foam RV Streaker onto the awnings, wait 5 minutes, agitate if needed, and then rinse away dirt buildup.

Thoroughly rinse everything

Once all surfaces are cleaned, thoroughly rinse the sides, roof, and awnings with a garden hose to remove any remaining cleaner. Proper rinsing helps prevent streaks and spots, leaving your RV with a pristine finish. 

Inspect for damage 

Once all the dirt is cleared away, take a quick minute to check the roof, side, and exterior for any seal and roof repair that may be needed. This is a crucial step in RV maintenance.

Shine windows for a streak-free finish

Finish your RV cleaning routine by washing the windows with a suitable cleaner for a streak-free shine. 

Enjoy the rewarding results of your hard work as you hit the road with a well-maintained and clean RV.
