NOTE: Before using any solution to clean your tile, check
the manufacturer's warning label to ensure the safety of the
product. If there is any doubt, apply several test patches of
the solution in an inconspicuous place to determine the prod-
uct’s suitability.
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 remove from the glass,
rub lightly with the flat edge of a razor blade to remove the deposits.
To prevent excessive moisture and a continual growth of mildew, use the
shower only with adequate ventilation. The sealant in a regularly used show-
er should be replaced once a year. To replace the sealant, remove the old
sealant using a sharp instrument. Apply a new sealant, which can be found
at 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.
Ozite:
To clean the Ozite ceiling, mix a solution of 8 oz. warm water, 4 oz.
white vinegar, 1 oz. bleach and 4 oz. club soda. Spritz on and blot dry. Do
not rub or scrub as this may damage the surface.
NOTE: Do not oversaturate the Ozite surface as this may
damage the ceiling.
Hardwood Vinyl & 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 the 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 liq-
uid spray cleaners may also cause damage to the material.
