Proper wax can protect the RV from sun damage and mildew growth, plus it will prevent delamination.
1.
While you're at it, don't forget about the screens. Even if these don't look dirty, they can attract dirt and dust. Remove each screen and give it a thorough rinse.
2.
Remove the exterior screens and rinse/wipe them down. Replace any necessary filters, and vacuum up dust bunnies that might be clogging the vents.
3.
Steam cleaning removes all the deep-set stains and dirt, plus it refreshes the natural color of your carpet. You probably won't even realize how dirty everything was until you're done!
4.
Completely empty out all of your cabinets and storage compartments and wipe them down. This is especially important in the kitchen because food crumbs and stains can attract pests.
5.
Wipe everything down and check for any areas that are stained or dirty. For instance, you should take a look at your microwave, oven, toaster, kettle, coffee maker, refrigerator, and even your garbage can!
6.
Bedding, towels, and clothes are probably cleaned on a regular basis, but what about your curtains, rugs, and furniture covers? These can sometimes fade into the background, but they can get dirty and dusty too.
7.
Wipe everything down with a damp rag, and/or use a vacuum with a hose attachment to suck up dust. This is also a good time to replace light bulbs and check the batteries in your smoke detectors.
8.
Empty, clean, and sanitize your tanks every now and then. You can use a spray wand to remove solid buildup, and small amounts of bleach will clean out tanks and water lines. When you're finished, thoroughly flush out the bleach and water before refilling.
9.
Use a gentle cleaner and a stiff brush to scrub away any stains or buildup. You may need to apply a waterproof coating at the end, especially if it's a vinyl awning. Let it dry completely before rolling it back up.
