Florida sun, rain, pollen and humidity are hard on an RV. This guide walks through the roof, exterior and interior, how to prepare for a trip or for storage, and when to call a mobile cleaner.
Strong sun, afternoon storms, pollen, bugs and humidity leave grime on the outside and moisture on the inside. A rig parked outdoors collects dirt quickly, and a closed-up RV can turn musty.
Regular cleaning keeps small problems small and makes every trip more enjoyable.
Start at the top, since runoff dirties everything below. Check your owner’s manual for your roof material and whether it can be walked on. Use a soft brush and a cleaner suited to your roof.
For awnings, extend them, clean the fabric gently and make sure they are fully dry before retracting to avoid mildew. Roofs are slippery when wet, so if you are not comfortable up there, hire a pro.
Clean the sides, windows, wheel wells and storage hatches. Bugs and road grime come off more easily if you do not let them sit for weeks. Rinse well and work from top to bottom.
Clean the kitchen and bathroom, vacuum floors and upholstery, wipe cabinets and windows and clean the refrigerator. Open storage areas and look for damp spots or musty smells.
Ventilate when it is safe, run the air conditioning, use moisture absorbers in cabinets and wipe up condensation, wet towels and spills right away. Follow the owner’s manual for air filter care.
Before a trip, clean the interior, windows, mirrors and lights. Before storage, do a thorough clean and again when you bring the RV out. A fresh start prevents musty surprises.
