Gather Up The Disinfecting Supplies
When buying disinfecting supplies, make sure to get the right products. Too harsh and they can damage the RV. Not harsh enough and they won't produce the clean you are after.
Check the RV owner's manual to see if it suggests any specific cleaning products. If not, focus on cleaning products designed with campers in mind.
Disinfecting The RV Bathroom
The camper bathroom can get quite dirty in no time, which is why frequent cleaning is crucial.
Start with the toilet. Add water and cleaner to the bowl, then scrub away. Once you are done scrubbing, you will need to get out all the soap. Otherwise, it can leave behind a residue that would require cleaning the toilet bowl all over again. Flush the toilet, fill with water, flush again - and repeat this process until all the cleaner is removed. It's best to wash the toilet once a week when you are on the road.
Next, move onto the other parts of the RV bathroom. Clean the shower stall, the floors, the mirror, the counter, and any other surfaces. Make sure you use the right product for the given surface material to avoid damage.
Disinfecting The RV Kitchen
Do some daily disinfecting of kitchen surfaces, either at the end of the day or after a particularly messy meal preparation. This will help prevent grease buildup and crumb buildup that can attract pests.
If you notice buildup in the oven or stove, make a paste out of baking soda and water. Apply it to the entire surface and let sit overnight. The next day, simply wipe and rinse off and the grime should be removed.
Don't forget to periodically go through the fridge and pantry. Remove anything expired and take a minute to disinfect the shelves.
Disinfect The Camper's Floors
For carpets, take the time to vacuum regularly. It's also helpful to keep carpet cleaner on hand for any unexpected spills. Every so often, do a deep clean with a steam cleaner or a professional service.
For hard floor surfaces, such as tile or laminate, use a mop or some other tool for wiping down the surface with soap and water.
