The last cleaning before <\/em>winterizing your RV<\/em><\/a>. <\/em>Savvy RVers know that this pre-winterization clean is the key to an easy de-winterizing process come spring. Do it right, and de-winterization is as easy as flushing your system and stocking your shelves. Do it wrong, and you could be shampooing your RV’s upholstery to get the rat pee smell out. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So let’s avoid that – and other – harmful side effects of improper cleaning before storing your RV for winter. <\/strong>As a full-time RVer myself, my winter preparation looks a little different than it will if you plan to store your RV for the off-season<\/a>–but RV cleaning before winter will be the same (full-time RVer or not).<\/em> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why Is Winter RV Maintenance and Cleaning Important?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Having a clean RV is more than just a good habit; it’s a way to protect your property<\/strong>, so it will last you for years to come. And, if you live in it full time like me, it’s also about protecting your health<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Everyone knows that certain types of<\/strong> <\/em><\/strong>mold can make you sick<\/strong><\/a>, but did you know that roach dropping in a closed environment can irritate asthma?<\/em> Or that certain rodent droppings when breathed can cause severe respiratory illness?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yeah, that’s why cleaning your RV regularly is a good idea. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
