What makes RV Wash any different than
the other cleaners that I can buy to clean my RV? |
Most of the cleaners that you can buy are based on old degreaser
formulas that have been around for years. Many of them even
say on them that they are cleaner/degreasers. Most of those
products contain something in them that are harmfull to your
RV. Either they have caustics or solvents in them that at the
very least cause streaking to your siding or worse, will attack the
paint and soften the decals that are on your siding. Many of
them attack the rubber in roof systems and cause degredation to
them. RV Wash is a formula that contains no
caustics or butyl based solvents. It was actually formulated to
attack the soils and film that get on siding. While their
formulas would probably work equally as well to clean your stove,
ours won't. Then again your stove is not what we are trying
to clean better than they are. Other formulas are wash and
wax formulas. If your RV will clean up with these products,
we have no problem with them. They are perfectly safe and you
probably have a very new RV. Sooner or later though, you'll
need RV Wash. |

How does the hose end sprayer
work? |
Attach sprayer to water hose. The small green button on
front of sprayer is soap feed on/off and the larger green
dial toward back of sprayer controls rinse water
on/off. Rotate soap feed button forward to
clear shipping lock, now turn water on. Push soap feed button
in to apply cleaner to workable area. Turn water off, turn
soap feed off. Brush area where cleaner has been
applied then rinse and move on to next area to be
cleaned. When sprayer is stored be certain that the
soap feed button is rotated back to lock position. This will
insure that cleaner will not leak out if bottle falls over. |

|
What's the advantage to the hose end
sprayer? |
It eliminates having to drag a wash bucket around with
you. Also, half the work of cleaning something the size of an
RV is dipping and throwing the cleaner on the siding, roof or
awning. Keep in mind that with painted aluminum being harder
to clean, the key to the hose end sprayer working on this type of
siding is cleaning it with some frequency. But, the sprayer
makes this easier to do. |
|
|
What do I use to refill my hose end
sprayer? |
RV Wash is also packed in one gallon containers. It is the exact
same product that the quart hose end sprayer bottle is filled with. |
|
|
How much cleaner does the hose end
sprayer use? |
The hose end sprayer mixes cleaner at a preset ratio of
40-1. That is equal to a little over three ounces per gallon
of water. |
|
|
Will the hose end sprayer clean all
siding at this ratio? |
That depends on the type of siding you have and the frequency
that you have cleaned your Rv. First of all, painted aluminum
is much harder to clean than fiberglass siding. If you have
not cleaned painted aluminum in a very long time, you may do better
to mix RV Wash stronger in a bucket and clean it with
this solution first to get RV clean. Refer to mixing
instructions on RV Wash gallon, then use the hose end sprayer
to keep it maintained after that. Painted aluminum does
require more frequent cleaning than fiberglass does. If you
are cleaning fiberglass, the hose end sprayer should work
fine. You may even be able to remove the black sreaks
with the hose end sprayer level of concentration. If
you clean fiberglass with great frequency you may be able
to weaken the concentration and still get good results. Just
fill the hose end sprayer with half as much concentrate and top off
with water. |
|
|
The hose end sprayer cleaned
eveything but the black streaks. What can I get them off
with? |
Make your own black streak remover from the same gallon
of RV Wash that you use to refill the hose end
sprayer. Obtain a quart trigger sprayer bottle from a dollar
store or other store, you can even recycle a bottle that
contained Windex or the sort, be sure to rinse a recycled
bottle out including the spray head. Mix a solution of 1/2 Wizards
and 1/2 water at the most. Spray black streak with this and
wait a few seconds then brush or wipe off. If your RV is
washed regularly you can probable use 1/3 RV
Wash and 2/3 water. This will make you a better black streak
remover than you can buy at the store and you don't have to
purchase a separate product. |

Does RV Wash offer a Black
Streak Remover? |
Read answer to question number 7. Remember "One Product Does It
All". |

|
Can I clean my rubber roof with RV
Wash? |
Yes, RV Wash is safe on rubber roofs. RV
Wash contains no caustics or solvents that attack the make-up
of the rubber. The hose end sprayer shoud give a stong enough
concentration of cleaner to get the soils off. Just apply cleaner,
brush and rinse. A slightly stronger solution may be mixed in
a bucket and brushed on if desired. Keep in mind, all
you want to do is get the dirt off to eliminate black streaking on
the siding. Nothing but a bleach will make it extremely white
again and that is not a safe product for rubber roof
cleaning. Bleach is made from a caustic process and that will
open the pores of the rubber and allow the oil in the rubber to
escape. Repeated use of bleach will cause the rubber to
degrade and crack. |
|
|
Can I use RV Wash to clean
my awnings? |
Yes, once again the easiest way is to apply cleaner with the
hose end sprayer, brush and rinse. For stubborn stains, use
the black streak remover made from RV Wash then brush and
rinse. RV Wash won't harm the awing even if it
dries on it. You may also clean awnings with a solution mixed
in a bucket and brushed on and rinsed. But, It sure is easier
to use the hose end sprayer. No more bucket to drag around. |
