How to wash a caravan | A simple action plan for cleaning the caravan

HG offers comprehensive solutions for cleaning your caravan with products like HG car cleaner and protector, suitable for both exterior and interior cleaning tasks. For effective cleaning, it's recommended to wash the caravan in sections, avoid direct sunlight, and work from the bottom up to prevent streaks. Use HG car windscreen cleaner for sparkling windows and finish with a wax using HG's products.

Alternatives such as multipurpose cleaners exist, but they lack the guaranteed results provided by specialized products like HG. Essential tips include avoiding high-pressure jets, steering clear of car washes, and using a hosepipe for rinsing. By following these guidelines, you can maintain your caravan’s pristine condition, yet there are more intriguing insights to uncover about caravan care.

  1. First rinse the outside of the caravan. That way you remove the worst of the dirt first. Then start rinsing the outside of the caravan properly.
  2. Now you can wash the caravan with HG car cleaner and protector for example. Do it section by section, so that the shampoo does not dry out. Use a soft sponge or a microfibre cloth. Or a cloth to wash the caravan with HG car cleaner and protector. Rinse the caravan in between.
  3. When all sides, and the roof, are clean, you can clean the caravan windows. Again, it is better to use a special product, such as HG car windscreen cleaner.
  4. Rinse the entire caravan properly with the hosepipe. That’s how you remove the last little bits.
  5. Once you've washed the caravan, you can wax it. That's also done with HG car cleaner and protector.
  6. Now your caravan is clean again.

Tips for cleaning a caravan

Before we give you the action plan for cleaning your caravan, we provide a few tips for the things you need to remember when you wash a caravan.

  • Wash a caravan in sections

Wash one side at a time. Otherwise some cleaning products will dry out before they are rinsed off.

  • Not in the sun

It is usually better not to wash the caravan in full sun. It makes the shampoo dry out faster.

  • Work from the bottom to the top

This may sound strange, but it is better to wash a caravan from the bottom to the top. It means there are no runners.

  • Don't stand on the roof

Cleaning a caravan roof is difficult, but don't walk on it. Cleaning a caravan roof is better from a ladder next to it.

  • Don’t use a high-pressure jet

Dirt disappears quickly with a high-pressure jet, but don't use it to clean your caravan. The pressure may damage the paint or the jet may enter the caravan. Even when the windows are shut. It's better to use the hosepipe.

  • Not in the carwash

It is tempting to clean your caravan in a carwash. Don't do it! It can produce scratches.

  • Use special products

You can clean the caravan with a multipurpose cleaner. Or other products, but it is best to use special products such as HG car cleaner and protector. Don't use aggressive cleaning products at all.
