Indoor Cleaning Tips

Hi, my husband and I recently moved into our Open Range 5th wheel and are working out what cleaning gadgets & products should go with us and what adjustments we should make. I’m curious to know what your favorites are?

What do you use to mop? How about a vacuum brand (and did you opt for a wet/dry vac or something more traditional)?

Any other interesting things you have found?

Thank you!
Kate
  • We love our Shark Navigator Lift Away. It has a narrow head which makes it great in the RV. It has a powered head for carpet and also works as a shop vac for cleaning out the truck or whatever.

    I don't mnop, I get on my knees with a rag and often only use water.
  • :) Hi, I have a cheap, small, compact, 120 volt vacuum cleaner from Wal-Mart. I also have a small broom and dust pan. I clean virtually everything with window cleaner.
  • I have a cyclone action/bagless Dirt Devil easy lite with hand tools. Found it inexpensive at Target and love it. Picks up dog hair like you wouldn't believe. Can use it on carpet or smooth floor. Under $40 when I got it. A rag works best for me. Nothing is big enough to bother getting a bunch of tools /gadgets out to use. We only have the bathroom floor with laminate so I just wipe it up in 30 seconds. Love the foam style window cleaner Sprayway found at Walmart and other stores for mirrors, glass etc - streakless.
  • The DW uses a Swiffer mop on the linoleum and a Swiffer duster for high dusting. We have a central vac system, but also have a Dustbuster for small quick jobs. I have a smaller wet/dry shop vac in the basement to use to keep the basement clean and to vacuum the T.V..

    Awesome is a good cheap all purpose cleaner we discovered from Dollar Tree. Turns out it is a real good degreaser and I use it on the MaxxFan and vent hood.
  • We like the Rubbermade mop available at Lowes.
    Vacuum? Pick what is your favorite. We have a Dirt Devil built in in our fiver. Works very well as long as you change the bag regularly.
  • A mop. The hand-held Dyson is used daily around my place. Always little rocks on the floor, dust in crevasses and crumbs on the table.
