We bought a 2010 trailer recently, and it turns out that the original owner never took the protective plastic off the vinyl floor - which kept the floor in showroom condition but now the plastic is pretty beat up and needs to come off. I started to take the plastic off but it left a sticky residue on the vinyl. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to get de-stickyfy the floor without damaging the vinyl? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
A petroleum based de-greaser like Lestoil should be fine. For excess sticky patches put a paper towel laden with oil atop the area for a couple of hours then remove and clean area with de-greaser. You could always call the RV's manufacturer for removal/chemical composition of the sticky stuff too.
Try Dawn Dish washing liquid, real soapy, (strong). It's a grease cutter, and that protective plastic is a petroleum product (oil ... grease)... and Dawn will cut through it.
