Motorhome CLEANERS

The right cleaning products can help to retain your 'van's showroom sparkle! Here are six to consider

- Peter Byrne

When you're looking for a motorhome cleaner, it's best to go for a product specifically formulated for use on 'vans, providing an effective method for removing the dirt, green algae and dreaded black streaks that can otherwise build up on our homes -on-wheels. No matter which cleaner you choose, always follow the instructions. We'd also advise initially testing it on a small section when you apply it for the first time. Be sure to check it can be used on the surfaces you want to use it on. In this guide, you'll see our picks for some of the top cleaners on the market, featuring options from Autoglym, Fenwick's and more.

Autoglym Caravan & Motorhome Cleaner

Price £13.78 (one litre), £17.89 (2.5 litres) (amazon.co.uk)

Size One litre, 2.5 litres

Pros Effective and versatile motorhome cleaner

Cons One of the pricier cleaning products in our guide

It's a testament to the quality of Autoglym Caravan & Motorhome Cleaner that our judges named it Best Motorhome Cleaner in the Practical Motorhome Awards for 2022, 2023 and 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, too, and can be used on a variety of surfaces, avoiding the need for 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.
