Cleanliness and hygiene in a motorhome or caravan

When using a motorhome or caravan, we may be tempted to take care of the cleanliness of our house on wheels using home methods. However, home remedies will usually not be suitable for camping conditions.

Dometic offers not only a complete range of devices and accessories for motorhomes and caravans. The brand's offer is complemented by chemicals designed specifically for use in touring vehicles .

Why is it better to choose specialized "chemistry" than universal? There are many reasons. First of all, the measures dedicated to motorhomes and caravans were developed with them in mind, which means that they also had to be properly tested.

Home conditions are usually much more sterile than traveling or camping. Movement involves changes in temperature and humidity. Tourist conditions favor an increased amount of pollution as well as a greater variety of bacteria and microorganisms. Therefore, a slightly different "chemistry" is needed.

Another argument for ecology. Market leaders such as Dometic make sure that their hygiene products (including even toilet paper) are as environmentally friendly as possible.

Hygienic in the bathroom

The aforementioned Dometic ComfortCare toilet paper is perfect for on-board toilets as well as portable toilets. After rinsing into the sanitary tank, the used paper breaks into small fragments, so there is no risk of clogging the drain or sticking to the walls of the tank or its filling sensor.

When setting off on a journey in a vehicle equipped with a chemical toilet, it is worth getting tablets that can be added to the faeces tank. The tablets break down waste without creating unpleasant odors. Each Dometic tablet is wrapped in a dissolving foil, so you don't have to get your hands dirty. Unlike liquids with an analogous effect, there is no risk that something will spill out or that we will use the wrong dose of the agent. The popular "tabs" also take up less space in the vehicle than bottles with liquids and do not lose their properties during the "wintering" of the vehicle. The most frequently chosen tablets in Poland are the blue PowerCare Tabs , characterized by intense action and a pleasant, fresh fragrance.

On the other hand, we can add Sanitary Rinse flushing liquid to the water tank, which will clean the bowl and give it a fresh smell each time the toilet is flushed. Additionally, to keep the sanitary tank sparkling clean, it is worth periodically using the Tank Cleaner sanitary tank cleaning agent. In contact with the liquid, the tablet of the preparation fills the tank with active foam, which removes sediments, and at the same time prevents the accumulation of limescale. An additional advantage is a pleasant smell and the fact that Tank Cleaner is environmentally friendly.

We can also clean the toilet with the Sanitary Rinse Spray . We recommend this agent especially in situations where the toilet and drinking water are taken from the same tank, so the additive cannot be used in the water tank.

The biodegradable Dometic Sanitation Cleaner gel will also help to clean toilets, sinks and showers - it is powerful and efficient at the same time.

Purely in the kitchen

However, you need to take care of cleanliness not only in the toilet. All nooks and crannies of the motorhome, especially the kitchen, are exposed to dirt. In order for it to shine clean, it is worth getting, for example, a stainless steel cleaner for stainless steel, which will help us deal with dirt on cookers and sinks. This spray will deal very well with fats and deposits, and will not leave a streak.

There is often an acrylic glass window above the worktop, and this is where a lot of debris collects when cooking. Fortunately, Dometic offers both a special paste for maintaining this type of windows, as well as an acrylic cloth. We can also buy the entire Window Cleaner Set , which already has both a cloth, an acrylic cleaner and an acrylic polish. It is worth remembering that washing acrylic windows with "home" preparations may cause their surface to become dull and cracked, so it is important to use dedicated preparations.

Someone who cannot imagine a camping without grilling should not forget about Oven & Bbq Cleaner . This spray has been specially developed for cleaning cookers and grills used in camping conditions. Effectively removes residues of fat and burnt food, and leaves a neutral smell.

And while we are cleaning, the Awning Cleaner for cleaning awnings and tarpaulins can also be useful. This agent works quickly and removes even those stains that have penetrated deeply into the fabrics. The spray restores the splendor of the awnings, even when the fabric is old.

The above list does not include all cleaning agents that can be used in a motorhome or caravan. However, it is worth being aware that camping vehicles require special care and carefully selected care products. That is why it is worth trusting companies that specialize in products dedicated to caravanning in this matter.
