My DW was wondering what cleaners to use on the inside ie...tub, shower, sink, etc. And what dish detergent or other soaps to use or avoid? She knows not to use the regular soft soap. She already bought some foaming soft soap for us to use. Thanks.

our manual states only use "Fantastic" on the shower and toilet. I would not use anything real strong due to the fact that many RV parts are not the highest quality.

We use any and all the same stuff that we use in our stick and brick.
Probably best to avoid abrasive cleaners like Comet power, etc.

If you want, come over and I will "show" you how to clean and you can practice on OUR trailer....

Ditto on just using what you use at home less the abrasive stuff on the sinks and toilets since they are more plastic based in many cases.

It also helps to squeegee the shower dry after use. We have very hard water at home so there can be a mineral buildup in a very short time. We squeegee at home and in both our TTs. Very little and infrequent actual scrubbing. No abrasives on plastic or fiberglass.

What is wrong with soft soap? I've never heard anyone say that before.

We use a fresh brush in the toilet and a spray cleaner from the Dollar Store. We have never had any problems.

Mild dish soap (I use Sun Light) for almost everything.

I would like to know about the soft soap also. We use the soft soap hand wash in the bathroom.
