The right cleaning products can help to retain your tourer's showroom sparkle! Here are our top picks
-
When you're looking for a caravan cleaner, it makes sense to go for a product specifically formulated for use on leisure vehicles, providing an effective method for removing dirt, green algae and the dreaded black streaks that can build up on our homes-on-wheels. No matter which cleaner you choose, always follow the instructions. We would also advise initially testing the product on a small section before you apply it for the first time. And be sure to check that the cleaner can be used safely on all of the surfaces you want to clean.
In this guide, you'll see our picks for some of the top cleaners on the market, featuring options from major brands such as Autoglym, Fenwick’s and more.
It’s a testament to the quality of Autoglym Caravan & Motorhome Cleaner that our judges named it Best Cleaner in the Practical Caravan Awards for 2024.We particularly like how it can make getting rid of winter algae or black streaks an effortless task. The application process is simple, too - always a big plus - requiring the exterior to be wet before spraying the cleaner, agitating the surface, then rinsing it off. It’s versatile and can be used on a variety of surfaces, avoiding the need for keeping a cupboard full of cleaning products.
Then there’s the choice of how to apply it - if you prefer a spray-top lid, it’s available as a one-litre bottle, or you can opt for the more cost-effective 2.5-litre option, which can be used with Autoglym’s Easy Sprayer.
