It’s hard to put your finger on it, but we’ve all
experienced it. It’s the sense that the air in your RV might not be overly
putrid, but certainly isn’t clean and fresh either. The air smells old, even if
your RV is new, and no amount of ventilation makes the problem go away for more
than a few hours.
That’s right: your RV is suffering from the dreaded “old
house” smell.
It might not seem like a big problem now, but the causes of an
“old house” smell in your RV can potentially add up over time. If you want to
keep your RV smelling clean and fresh without having to open a few windows—and
you want it to stay that way—then
you’re going to have to take action ASAP. And it doesn’t hurt to have a few
tips along the way, either.
Tip #1: RV Mildew Remover Pint
Most people only notice mildew once there’s a clear,
defined, “old mildew” smell wafting through the air. By this time, you usually
have a fairly significant mildew problem.
But it’s not as if mildew pops up one day and presents
itself as a massive problem. “Old house” air is one of the most noticeable
warning signs of mildew that’s just started to encroach on your territory. So
if you think you have a mildew problem that’s just now beginning to build up,
it’s better to remove it sooner rather than later.
This RV Mildew Remover Pint features an easy-application
spray bottle that makes cleaning up easy. And because it’s chlorine-free and
safe for fabrics, you’ll be able to use it all over the interior of your RV for
a comprehensive cleaning.
Tip #2: VinyLIFE Vinyl Cleaner & Protector Pint
If you have a lot of vinyl inside your RV, then it’s no secret
that the quality and condition of your vinyl is going to have a similarly
massive impact on the way your RV interior smells. You don’t just want your
vinyl to look good—you want to keep it protected from anything that can get
into it, damage it, and ultimately cause an “old house” smell.
Vinyl is meant to smell clean and fresh—and it’s not going
to smell that way unless it actually is
clean and fresh. The key? Keep your VinyLIFE handy to get rid of debris as soon
as they appear so you can avoid set-in stains that make an “old house” scent
even harder to get rid of.
An “old house” smell may seem like it’s an innocent problem
and easily fixed by glossing over it or simply opening a window. But over time,
the causes of those “old house” smells will make the problem worse. Fortunately,
they’re an easy fix. Use the right RV cleaning products, take a
few minutes to clean out the “old house” smell, and you’re ready to enjoy an RV
that doesn’t have to be ventilated on a warm clear day simply to smell the
right way.
