As summer approaches, campgrounds in many states begin to reopen, just in time for RV season.  Whether you live in an RV full-time or plan on hitting the road for a vacation this summer, remember to put extra care and time into your usual cleaning routines.

RV deep cleaning COVID-19 Disinfecting Your RV

Before hitting the road this summer, start your RV season off with a deep disinfecting clean of your mobile home. Consider wearing gloves and using disposable cleaning products like paper towels instead of your old mop and sponge. Existing items in your RV may be hiding germs you would like to avoid.

  1. Use soap and water to regularly clean surfaces.
  2. Pay special attention to high-touch surfaces like light switches, doorknobs, handles, faucets, sinks, tables and countertops.
  3. After cleaning with soap and water, use a disinfectant to kill the remaining germs.
  4. You may need to leave disinfecting solutions on surfaces for a certain time period.
  5. Clean as many soft surfaces as possible in your RV — carpet, drapes, upholstery.
  6. Wash fabrics in your RV with the hottest possible water, including your bedding.
  7. Use alcohol-based wipes or sprays that contain at least 70% alcohol to clean electronics including phones, GPS units and tablets.

Disinfecting your mobile home is the first step in responsible RVing. Starting with a clean slate and maintaining regular cleaning and disinfecting routines will help keep you and other travelers safe.
