Cleaning the interior. January 11, 2022, 06:54:18 pm I have never RV's before and we are soon to embark on our first trip. Of course, we will be boon docking. Why do things the easy way? Anyway, I would like some guidance on cleaning and the products to use. I know the shower is fiberglass and I need to watch for products marked safe for fiberglass, and the toilet is porcelain like all other toilets I have ever used, so I would think standard toilet bowl cleaner is okay. I am concerned about what happens once these cleaning products hit the waste tanks. Could I please get some suggestions regarding which products you seasoned travelers have used and which products to avoid at all costs? We have a 50th Anniversary Edition, 30 ft IB. It's beautiful and I would hate to damage the finishes. Thank you for all your help.

Reply #1 – January 11, 2022, 09:24:33 pm We use the same household cleaning products in the LD as used in our home.Use cleaning products safe for plastic or laminated countertops.The tanks are made of ABS plastic, it’s relatively inert material, normal cleaning agents will not have an effect on the tanks other than possibly gettting them a bit cleaner. Your LD's Owners Manual will have information on many of your questions pertaining to maintenance, consider it your LD’s bible.Also check the LD Companion for tips.Larry 1 Likes

You can find it at Amazon.com and/or Camping World... 1 Likes

Re: Cleaning the interior. Reply #4 – January 12, 2022, 11:15:29 am The cleaning products that I use in the LD (and in the house) are primarily white vinegar for any surface, Bon Ami for the shower and sinks, "20 Mule Team" borax and hot water for the floor or to wipe down the surfaces of the cabinets, and sometimes, a few drops of Dr. Bronner's Sal Suds. All inexpensive, readily available, effective, and non-toxic. YMMV, as always. 6 Likes
