Caravan & Camping: A Cleaning Essentials Checklist

Caravan Season Has Arrived:

Spring has finally arrived which can only mean one thing, It’s officially time to get your caravan / motorhome out of storage and embark on your next adventure. There’s nothing better than finding a peaceful spot where you can pitch up for the weekend, explore new places, relax with family and catch up with old friends but before you set off there are a few important things to consider to make sure that you’re fully prepared and have all of your caravan and camping cleaning essentials ready to go. There are so many things to consider when you go camping, sometimes the simplest of things are the ones that are easily forgotten. Which is why we have created this handy checklist to ensure you don’t leave without them.

Pink/Blue Caravan & Motorhome Toilet Cleaner:

When travelling it’s important that you can find a reliable Caravan & Motorhome Toilet Cleaner that you can trust will do everything you need it to. The Valet-Chem Blue and Pink Toilet Cleaner not only tackles dirt but also combats bad odours leaving the bowl and cassette fresher and cleaner and the bathroom more inviting. Both Pink and Blue Toilet Cleaner are powerful waste cleaners that make your bathroom more hygienic leaving your caravan or motorhome freshly scented with a pleasant fragrance.

Eco Alternative Toilet Cleaner

Always check the rules of the campsite you’re pitching up at; some have specific requirements and will only allow a Green Eco Friendly Toilet Cleaner because other traditional toilet fluids can be harmful to septic systems. Whereas Green Eco Friendly Toilet Fluid is biodegradable making it a safer alternative. Valet-Chem Green Eco-Friendly Top & Bottom Toilet Cleaner  is a dual purpose product that can be used in both the bowl and the flush tank. Our concentrated formula cleans, freshens and deodorises, leaving the bowl looking clean and fresh.

Exterior Cleaning - Maintaining Your Caravan & Motorhome

After collecting your caravan/motorhome from storage it’s likely to need a good clean. Chances are you will find moss building up on the roof along with other dirt and loose debris. Regular maintenance will mean you can keep your vehicle in a good condition whilst also observing any sign of damage/wear and tear that may cause issues which can be prevented.

Caravan Snow Foam

We have a selection of essential exterior cleaning products that will ensure your vehicle looks its best, such as our Caravan Snow Foam perfect for those with a heavily contaminated vehicle. It can be applied directly from a lance for a contactless wash and great as a pre-wash. 

Caravan Cleaner Shampoo

You can then follow up with our Caravan Cleaner Shampoo for a contact wash which cuts through dirt with ease. 

Wax Rinse

For extra protection use Valet-Chem Wax Rinse this product creates a hydrophobic polymer coating on your car. Which adds a layer of protection against the elements such as road grime and UV rays.

Waterless Wash

To ensure that your caravan/motorhome looks fresher and cleaner for longer take our Waterless Wash with you on your travels and use in between washes to maintain a clean polished vehicle, free from dirt and dust.

Black Streak Remover

Caravans/motorhomes are prone to black streaks that look unsightly and ruin the pristine white aesthetic of your vehicle. Valet-Chem Black Streak Remover is a powerful cleaner. It makes light work of stubborn dirt and easily dissolves muck and grime.

Interior Cleaning

One of the many benefits to camping is exploring new places. You never know what you might find or where you might end up which is why you should be prepared. Always pack a hand sanitiser in your backpack for emergencies. At Valet-Chem you can find large quantities of hand sanitiser perfect for topping up your travel sized container.

Your plates, mugs and cutlery are packed and ready to go but you still need to remember washing-up liquid. We have a Washing-up Liquid 20% which is a high strength dish soap perfect for removing grease and grime. Especially helpful for cleaning a dirty BBQ grill

Another important item you don’t want to leave without is hand soap. You’ll need one for the kitchen and one for the bathroom. Our 500ml and 1L Pink Pearl Hand Soap bottles come with a pump dispenser and we even supply 5L refill containers so you don’t run out.

Canvas Awnings & Tents

Over time your Canvas tents and Awnings can become filthy due to a whole host of different reasons, including rainfall, so many minerals are deposited on the canvas fabric and overtime it can begin to cause staining which can degrade the natural appearance of the canvas fabric. Being outside means it can be exposed to all kinds of wildlife which could result in loose debris such as leaves, berries and twigs being dropped onto the material. Plus general wear and tear from repeated use. 

Tent Canvas & Awning Cleaner

The build-up of dirt and grime is unavoidable but there is an easy and very simple solution. Valet-Chem Tent Canvas & Awning Cleaner is a fast and effective solution, capable of tackling stubborn dirt. Our cleaning formula removes stains and cleans mildew and algae easily.

Tent Canvas & Awning Waterproofer

Additionally their water resistant capabilities can degrade and be ineffective at repelling water. Having a leaky awning that’s non-functional can put a dampener on your holiday and ruin a perfectly good break.

 Also, too much exposure from the sun's UV rays can cause damage to the canvas material.
To avoid this we recommend protecting your awning and canvas tents with Tent Canvas Awning Waterproofer. This product is easy to apply and provides long lasting protection.
