Caring for Your RV Furniture

Tips for Cleaning & Maintenance on the Road

1. Regular Cleaning

  • Dust & Wipe Down Weekly: Use a soft, dry cloth to remove dust and road debris.

  • Mild Soap & Water: For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth with a small amount of mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals.

2. Fabric Care

  • Spot Clean Quickly: Blot spills with a clean cloth immediately—don’t rub.

  • Fabric Protectant: Consider using a fabric guard spray for extra stain resistance.

  • Vacuum Upholstery: Use a soft brush attachment to remove dirt and crumbs.

3. Leather Care

  • Wipe with Damp Cloth: Use water only or a leather-safe cleaner.

  • Condition Periodically: Apply a leather conditioner every 3–6 months to keep it supple.

  • Avoid Direct Sun: When possible, close shades to reduce fading and drying.

4. Wood & Finish Care

  • Clean Gently: Wipe with a damp microfiber cloth—dry immediately.

  • Avoid Excess Moisture: Standing water or wet cloths can damage wood finishes.

  • Polish Occasionally: Use a furniture polish that’s safe for post-catalyzed finishes. Avoid polishes that contain any silicon products.

5. Travel & Storage Tips

  • Secure Before Travel: Use straps or fold chairs to prevent shifting during drives.

  • Climate Awareness: Extreme heat, cold, or humidity can affect finishes—ventilate when parked.

  • Off-Season Storage: Cover furniture with breathable fabric (not plastic) to protect from dust.
