GENERAL
Cleaning should be carried out immediately after use using warm soapy
water and a soft cloth. Stubborn stains may be removed using diluted
lemon juice.
Thetford bathroom cleaner is suitable for cleaning the shower and vanity
unit plastic items (sinks, shower trays, thetford toilets etc).
Caution: Domestic cleaning products are not to be used to clean the shower/
vanity unit plastic items.
Guidance on Cleaning Portable Water Tanks and the Water
System and in Touring Caravans
The water systems, and in particular storage tanks, in caravans are
susceptible to contamination by bacteria if care is not taken with their use
and cleaning. The symptoms caused by bacterial contamination are not
purely limited to gastro-intestinal diseases, but may also manifest
themselves as ear, nose, throat, eye or skin infections. It is therefore
important that you carry out the following procedure prior to using the
caravan each time, even if you boil or filter all water you use for drinking.
For Containers:
1. All water remaining in the container should be disposed of so that
the container is empty. (If the container is an onboard tank, it should
be removed if possible.)
2. The outside of the container should be thoroughly cleansed and
washed down to remove any dirt, dust or other contaminant. Water
at a suitably hot temperature containing an appropriate detergent is
recommended for this purpose.
3. Water should be put in the container, swirled around, then emptied
out.
