Affordable RV Cleaning Solutions

 And of course, the quality of auto detailing tools and materials can also add to your RV detailing bill.

 But how much does it really cost to wash an RV? Typically, detailers charge per foot, anywhere from $3 to $20, depending on the add-on services you prefer to include.

 In your search for an RV wash and wax service, it pays to do some careful research. After all, your RV is a major investment. Definitely, you only want experts to work on it.

 Ask friends and neighbors who own an RV. Where are they taking their prized possession when it needs cleaning? Who do they call if they want to avail mobile RV detailing? How do their chosen detailers work? Do they work section by section or wash the entire vehicle, dry it, then wax the whole of it? If they’re doing the second, stay away.

 Quality detailers work panel by panel. This is to prevent the degreaser from drying up prematurely as this might cause the formation of hard water spots. As you may know by now, hard water spots can be very difficult to remove, sometimes even requiring expensive paint restoration.

 If you opt for mobile RV cleaning, a team of detailers will work on your vehicle wherever you prefer, be it in your home, office, or your gym. This will save you a lot of time and effort.

 And if you want a total clean, consider steam cleaning. It can give your RV’s exterior a sparkle and clean like no other.

 Keeping your RV in clean, pristine condition is important for many reasons – after all, nobody wants to be the grubby one in the lot! But it’s about so much more than aesthetics. Regular RV detailing helps to maintain the quality of your vehicle, so you can fight against corrosion, mold, pests, and other threats.

 It’s all about comprehensively cleaning the outside and inside of your vehicle in (as you expect) detail. Here, we explain how to clean your RV yourself and what to look for in a good RV detailing service.

 If you’re booking in for a professional RV detailing service, the process depends on the provider. However, you should typically expect roof-to-toe service, including:

 Be sure to check what material your roof is made out of and choose an appropriate cleaner. Apply the cleaner to a small area, scrub using a soft-bristled brush to remove dirt, wipe the area clean, and repeat.

 Spray the entire side of the RV with clean water. Use a hose mounted foam gun to spray the cleaning product onto the side of the RV. Use a mitt or tool with a handle to wipe it down, one small area at a time, working from top to bottom. Rinse it clean and repeat on the other side and the back of the vehicle.

 Spray the awning and sides area with clean water. Use a foam sponge or soft brush to clean the ridges. Rinse with clean water and repeat. Allow them to dry completely to avoid mold and mildew from growing.

 Using a specialty bug remover product (or, throw a little elbow-grease in there and use soap and water!) scrub until clean and then repeat the same process as you followed when cleaning the sides of the RV to finish off the front.

 Use a specialty tire cleaning product, water, and a sponge to scrub down the tires. Apply wheel cleaner to the rims and use a microfibre cloth or sponge to polish the area. Finish by spraying the tires with UV protectant spray.

 Spray glass cleaner on the windshield and windows. In a smooth motion, use a microfibre cloth or buffer and evenly distribute it across the area.

 Allow the RV to dry fully, and then use a large sponge to apply a small amount of wax in wide circular motions across the sides and front. Once the wax is dry, remove residue with a clean, dry cloth.

 Just like you’d clean your home not-on-wheels, use cleaning spray and a dry, clean cloth to tackle all the nooks and crannies inside your RV, including cup holders, all surfaces, the dashboard, cupboards, etc.

 Deep clean all fabric and upholstery inside your RV, including carpets, benches, chairs, and mattresses.

RV detailing and waxing in Phoenix area

 rv cleaning san franciscoIf you’ve got the time, the kit, and the willpower, it’s entirely possible to clean your RV yourself! However, it’s important to remember that you’re handling a big (and, likely, favorite!) investment, so be sure to do your research on the products and practices that suit your RV before you get started.

 Booking a professional RV detailing service will save you time and ensure a thorough and comprehensive service. Auto detailers will be able to identify the correct materials and practices to use on your vehicle – and they have the specialty equipment required to use them effectively.

 Many RV detailing packages don’t include professional cleaning on the interior of your vehicle – and those that do likely don’t have the same level of fabric and carpet care that a dedicated interior detailing service can offer. Keeping up with regular interior care for your RV is an important step to remember, as it will help to fight off mold and pests, as well as maintain the quality of your investment.

 Professional interior RV cleaning can also help reduce the effect of allergens that blow through your RV and settle into your upholstery (which is inevitable when you have doors and windows open to enjoy that sunny weather).

 rv cleaning san franciscoYour RV cleaning schedule depends on the way you use your vehicle.

 If it’s your primary residence, you’ll need to stick to a regular cleaning schedule in order to maintain it as a safe and comfortable living space – vacuum and clean the interior at least once a week and wipe down the outside every 2-3 weeks.

 You should have it fully detailed every 6 months, and have the carpets and upholstery cleaned professionally every 6-12 months. If you stick to a consistent cleaning schedule, you can utilize our maintenance discount and save 15% off any items we cleaned previously when booked again within 12 months.

 Our RV cleaning service takes care of the carpets and upholstery inside your RV – we’ll carry out a deep clean (and get into all those cramped, awkward areas!), providing odour removal and an optional allergy treatment.

 Congratulations, you made it through winter! Days are getting warmer, the sun is shining brighter, and you're itching for your next RV adventure. However, for a lot of you, your RV has been sitting and collecting dust during these brutally cold months and is in DESPERATE need of a top to bottom cleaning! Well folks, you're in luck, because it just so happens that we know a thing or two, because we've seen a thing or two. And also, we love to clean - so, double win! We have done the research (with kids!), and have THE step-by-step process that will get your RV looking so fresh and so clean!

 Before getting your hands dirty, keep these helpful tips in mind to make the process run much smoother.

 Bleach has been known to degrade the seals in your tanks over time and you do NOT want things leaking from your tanks... cause like... you get it, it's nasty...

 Cleaning in this grid-like pattern will help you stay focused, feel less overwhelmed, and will help you make sure you are covering every spot!

 If you are looking for ways to incorporate your young kids into the cleaning process, hand them water guns. Yes, you heard me correctly. Fill the water guns with the gentlest cleaning solution you are looking to use for the majority of your RV (we fill them with vinegar and water). Then, let them go around spraying surfaces, walls, and any other areas that need the cleaning solution. Our boys LOVE it!

 Disclaimer: We are not responsible if your kids go a bit crazy with the squirting... MONITOR THE SQUIRTING!

 We are by no means experts when it comes to all things RV. We have learned a lot and feel pretty confident with our abilities, but we still take our RV into our local dealer or Winnebago Service Department when we need a few technical things looked at (i.e. engine, generator, and tires). If you are unsure of something, don't be afraid to ask the experts, cause like... they know and you don't. For product and service questions, you can contact Winnebago's owner relations department directly at (800) 537-1885.

 Household products like Mrs. Myers and a good old-fashioned Swiffer Sweeper are staples in our cleaning process. Our one exception to the bleach rule is Clorox wipes - we use these on surfaces that need extra attention, and because we cook a lot and no one likes salmonella! But for the majority of our RV, we mix white vinegar, lemon juice, and warm water. We found this is the least abrasive solution for cleaning our RV, while still getting the job done in incredible fashion.
