How To Clean Your Motorhome
The exterior of your motorhome is very durable
and easy to clean owing to its high gloss
properties. To maintain a showroom finish the
motorhome and the parts need to be washed
using motorhome cleaning solution (bespoke
Bailey cleaning products are avalible at www.
bailey-parts.co.uk). Avoid using strong alkaline
(e.g. tri-sodium phosphate) or acidic cleaners
or abrasives. Waxing the components once or
twice a year with a good grade paste wax will
help to maintain the colour and finish.
To avoid scratching, wash your motorhome by
hand using a sponge with plenty of cleaning
solution. Always rinse away any cleaner from
your motorhome.
Dry the vehicle with a chamois or a microfibre
cloth.
It is imperative to ensure that the area
surrounding the rooflight is completely dried
this will avoid both condensation and damp
collecting around the perimeter.
CAUTION: DO NOT use a mechanical
brush washing system such as a car
wash.
CAUTION: Never pressure wash
your vehicle.
CAUTION: Do not use solvents or
acrylic cleaners.
Under no circumstances use any abrasive
agents, methylated spirit, white spirit or other
solvents to the exterior of your motorhome.
No touch up painting should be carried out prior
to consulting with a Bailey Service Centre for
approved methods.
All items stored in the gas bottle storage locker
must be secured to prevent impact damage to
the inside of the body panel when the vehicle
is in motion.
Do not allow any chemicals, toilet or otherwise,
to spill or leak into the gas box floor. Before
placing items in the cradle ensure that the tray
is clean and free from any debris. Cleaning
should only be carried out with warm soapy
water.
The use of high pressure water jets to clean
your motorhome will invalidate your warranty.
Cleaning Polyplastic Acrylic Windows
The windows fitted to your motorhome are
manufactured from high quality acrylic using
the latest plastic processing methods.
For cleaning, use only generous amounts of
water to wash away dust and road grit etc.
Then use a soft cloth and warm soapy water
and gently remove the remaining dirt. Avoid
abrasive cleaning materials and detergents.
As with all plastic materials, acrylic should not
be allowed to come into contact with chemicals
such as paint remover, fly spray, acetone, dish
washer detergent and car cleaning detergent.
NOTE: Never polish with a dry cloth.
During high sun do not close the
window blinds completely and open
the windows into the ventilation
position.
While the vehicle is in motion please ensure that
the windows are fully closed (this information is
also detailed on stickers on the windows).
Cleaning Stainless Steel Sink
The stainless steel sink will need little
maintenance other than cleaning immediately
after use. Most deposits can be removed by
washing with soap or mild detergent and hot
water, followed by a clean water rinse and drying
with a soft cloth to prevent water spotting.
For more tenacious deposits a non-abrasive
multi-purpose cream cleaner should be used,
followed by a rinse with clean water.
Tannin stains can be removed by a solution
of washing soda and water applied with a soft
