« on: February 12, 2009, 09:19:50 pm »

id prob use tfr or just pure water depends on condition

Caravan cleaning in a genre all of it's own.  You can do courses to learn about caravan valeting and if you get it wrong (which is easily done) you can cause possibly thousands-of-pounds worth of damage.

But it seems fairly safe if you just use pure water and your normal window cleaning poles; though getting to the roof is difficult and the job will take longer than what you think; I'd say at least three hours for a dirty caravan; longer if you open the windows and clean round the frames and stuff with a cloth.

Pure water and a window cleaning brush won't remove stubborn mildew spots either; you've got to get up close and personal with a scrubbing brush; awkward when they're mostly on the roof!

I've got a caravan that needs a good clean!  >:(

Oh, also I wouldn't use TFR either; caravan windows can be tempermental things and can 'crazy pave' (a sort of 'cracking effect') if you use the wrong sort of chemicals on them; you'll have to google for what the wrong sort of chemicals are though; I can't remember.

No probs, Richy; I hope I didn't sound to negative; but there's more to cleaning caravans than you'd think.
