So vacation is over? Now is time for the least favorite part of every RV trip…post-vacation cleaning and organizing! Wondering where exactly you should start? What things you should be cleaning? Here is a quick guide to cleaning your RV interior once you’ve made it back from vacation!
Unpack You Belongings
Obviously, your first step is to take all the stuff you brought onto your RV for the trip back off again. Although it’s a pain, you’ll be happy to have everything back in its place. (This is also why some people buy a second of certain items, like kitchenware and linens, specifically to keep on board. It’s an especially good idea in the case of inexpensive consumables like shampoo, conditioner, and sunscreen!)
Empty Your Fridge
Trust me, the last thing you want to see when you’re getting amped up for your next vacation is the spoiled remains of last trip’s leftovers. Yuck!
Clean Your Bathroom
Listen, you don’t have to deep clean the whole RV every time you travel. For instance, cleaning your RV’s mattresses, carpet, and oven are probably only once-a-season chores. But the bathroom is a different story. Be sure to give the whole thing a thorough wiping down with beach based products and to clean the RV toilet with appropriate chemicals. It’ll help ensure your family stays safe and well next time you take on an adventure!
Air Out Your RV
As you likely know, RVs are notorious for developing funky odors, both from the holding tanks and just the smallness of the space in general. It’s a good idea to open the windows and let everything breathe for a few hours before you put your RV back into storage… and to do so again when it’s time to take it out!
