RV Window Cleaning Guide & Recommended Products

They say that the eyes are the windows to the soul. The assumption here is that windows must be pretty darned important—and anyone who owns an RV knows just how quickly a clean RV can look years beyond its age simply because the windows are dirty. You don’t want that. You also don’t want RV window cleaning to take you all afternoon. That’s why we’ve put together
this brief guide on effective window cleaning along with some of our best products to help you get the job done.

RV Window Cleaning Products You Need

Let’s start with the equipment. If you start with the right “toolbox,” so to speak, the rest of the job of cleaning windows is going to be effortless while leaving behind minimal streaks. Here are a few of our favorites when it comes to cleaning RV windows:

• • Suds. A general RV cleaner is great because you’re likely to have some on hand already. This is also easy to mix up with a little bit of water and add to a cheap spray bottle for easy application. Suds is good for cleaning all around the RV—even on painted surfaces—but can make just as quick work of RV windows when applied the right way.

• • Release® Adhesive Sealant & Remover. The hardest part of cleaning windows isn’t the actual spraying and wiping—it’s those darn adhesives that never seem to come off! Release® is built specifically for this problem and can be used on both fiberglass and glass. Of course, you’ll have to be more careful with glass when it comes to scraping off an old adhesive, so work slowly and carefully, never putting too much pressure. Sound difficult? That’s what Release® is there to help with.
  • General cleaning equipment . An empty spray bottle for easy application, a high-quality rag for wiping windows clean—that’s all you really need for effective RV window cleaning when you work with the right cleaning agents.

Now that you know which items to procure, let’s talk about the best strategy for making quick work of your RV windows.

Tips for Better RV Window Cleaning

The secret here? There is no secret. RV windows are like any other window you’ll have to clean, which means that if you know how to keep your house or car windows spotless, you’ll be able to do the same to your RV. But that doesn’t mean there aren’t some tips to help the process along. For example, it’s better to clean on a cloudy day than a sunny day, as the direct sunlight tends to evaporate water more quickly. This in turn leads to noticeable streaks on your RV windows.

You can also get things moving with a quick rinse first. This removes some debris and loosens up other debris that will come off during active cleaning with a rag. It’s just a simple way to make the process easier on yourself.
