CARE OF YOUR MOTORHOME
Carpets, Upholstery And Curtains
Vacuum clean carpets and upholstery to
ensure a long life, marks on cushions can be
removed using a mild upholstery shampoo
with the minimum of water. Curtains should
be dry cleaned only.
Washroom And Handbasin Fittings
These should be cleaned using a non
abrasive household cleaner. Always put the
cold water into the hand basin before adding
the hot in order to preserve the finish of the
thermoplastic formed basin.
Cleaning instructions for all chrome plated
products – (taps, wastes, bathroom
accessories, etc.)
Alcohol, solvents and solid detergents, liquids
containing acid or aggressive solutions, anti-
calcareous products, abrasive sponges or
steel wool should absolutely be avoided
since they could corrode in an irreparable
way the outer surface of the products.
Please note: Under no circumstances should
alcohol, spirit or solvent-based liquids be
used on GRP or ABS plastic panels as these
substances may react with the material and
cause visible damage.
Shower Trays
Only clean your shower tray using soap and
water. Do not use chemical based cleaning
agents as this may attack the material of the
tray.
Water Systems
The water systems and in particular storage
tanks, in motorhomes 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, and eye or skin infections. It is
therefore important that you carry out the
following procedure prior to using the
motorhome each time, even if you boil or
filter all water you use for drinking.
Please note: If your motorhome is not going
to be used for an extended period of time
please refer to section 12-1 Storage.
Water Containers
(i) All water remaining in any water
container should be disposed of so
that the container is empty.
(ii) The outside of external water
containers 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. Water
should then be put into the container,
swirled round and then emptied out.
(iii) All containers should then be totally
filled with water containing an
appropriate disinfectant / sterilising
solution and allowed to stand for the
appropriate contact time.
(iv) The solution should be emptied from
the container.
(v) External containers should be inverted
whilst stored overnight (if possible).
(vi) Containers must be filled with mains
water only and mains water only
should be used for the above cleaning
procedure.
(vii) On no account should garden hoses
be used to fill water tanks.
Internal Water Systems
(i) Drain down the system. (Open all taps
to allow air in, enabling the system to
drain quickly).
(ii) Thoroughly clean the outside of all
taps/connectors with a cloth soaked in
the disinfectant / sterilising solution.
(iii) Flush the system through with clean
drinking water until no traces of
disinfectant / sterilising solution can be
detected at any tap.
(iv) Suitable sterilising chemicals are
available from your Elddis Retailer. It is
not, however, recommended to use
bleach or sodium metabisulphide.
