Showers are susceptible to soap build up. Showers should be cleaned
weekly to prevent burdensome clean-up. Using the same solution used to
clean tile floors will be sufficient for the shower. However, to control mildew
growth spray the shower with household chlorine bleach and allow it to stand
for five minutes. Clean the glass shower doors with window cleaner on a
weekly basis to maintain the shine. If water spots cannot be removed from
the glass, rub lightly with the flat edge of a razor blade to remove deposits.
To prevent excessive moisture and a continual growth of mildew, use the
shower only with adequate ventilation. The sealant in a regularly used
shower should be replaced once a year. To replace sealant, remove the old
sealant using a sharp non-metallic instrument. Apply a new sealant, which
can be found at most recreational vehicle supply stores.
The ceiling of the motorhome can be a variety of materials or fabrics,
many of which require little or no care or maintenance.
Vinyl:
The soft touch padded vinyl ceiling can be cleaned using the
procedures discussed in the vinyl article of this section. Generally, a mild
soap and water is sufficient for cleaning vinyl.
NOTE: Use care not to puncture the padded vinyl.
Hardwood Vinyl and Decorated Paneling:
Hardwood vinyl and decorated paneling are sensitive and demanding
materials. Certain cleaning agents will affect the surface on both printed and
unprinted vinyl. Use only a mild, non-abrasive detergent and warm water
with a soft cloth or sponge for cleaning to protect the material.
Under no circumstance should bleach, alcohol, oil-based spray cleaners or
cleaning agents with solvents, citrus oil or harsh chemicals be used. Other
liquid spray cleaners may also cause damage to the material.
