GIVEAWAY CLOSED - Congratulations to Julie Costello who won the prize pack! 🎉🎉
My favourite cleaning hack while motorhoming is, wiping the grime off plates with handy towels if necessary after meals. Much easier to clean the dishes and less grime going into the grey waste Win/Win 👍
That’s a good one! We recently blocked our hepo valve as a result of stuff going down the sink. It was not fun to clean out haha 🙄
Hubby has the best hack I recon... he uses a rubber cake scraper to scrape the food off the dishes before washing them. Saves on paper towels.
Oh that is a great idea! Saves paper towels and stuff going down the drain!
Take the dog with you. It means you dont have to clean up any food spills.
Haha that’s a solid idea!
Soaking things as soon as use them before you wash them. Ether that or use paper plates lol
Soaking is key!
Mrs Gary here again. I know the comp is closed, but I just remembered one cleaning tool I use for things like sticker adhesive from labels and certs, and bee poo that lands on the outside of the caravan which can be difficult to remove. Instead of using a solvent or an abrasive, sometimes rubbing with a vegetable oil will remove the sticky. Just remember to clean afterwards with dishwashing detergent and warm water to get rid of any oily residuals.
Ah that is a very good tip! New caravans are covered in stickers and some of the ones we peeled off left lots of residue! I’ll have that a go 😁
If it's raining go out and wash the caravan! Always signs at camps and NZMCA saying no washing! 1st thing we do when rain turns up!
What a great idea! Never thought of that 👌👍
I do what I did when I had 12 days in the Nevada desert.
All my dishes are scraped, then wiped clean with a disinfectant wet wipe. Finally using about a cup or so of hot water and a little detergent (depends on what I'm cleaning) the plates etc are washed/rinsed with this. If two people I use twice the water for the final clean. Water is in a bowl in the sink. The water is then strained through a small strainer before it goes into the sink and grey tank. The strainer is tapped out onto a paper towel. Given a wash in a regular kitchen when I use one.
As to the washing of smalls I used the following I learned from an elderly lady who worked in the war room in England during WWII. In your shower you first quickly washed your nickers. Then used them to wash yourself. Then rinse and wring dry ( roll in a towel and jump or dance in them helps too ) and they are usually dry by morning. hang them on a coat hanger to dry.
You used your flannel to give your body a quick dry. Being small this dries quicker than a towel. Lastly you use your towel to finish drying yourself off. As it only gets slightly damp it would dry overnight even in winter. I used this when living on my bike cycle touring around England and parts of Europe and up, down and around New Zealand.
I’ve never thought of washing the smalls that way! Ingenious 👍😊
Wipe food off plates before washing and wash dishes in a container. Also keep dirty shoes in a box with padded lid that can be used as a foot rest as well. Keeps your floor clean and feet rested!!
That’s a great idea! I like it when things in the caravan have multiple uses!
Tip a bit of Thetford blue down the kitchen sink,helps break up food scraps and smells so much nicer when it comes to emptying at dump stations :)
Oh that is a good one! I’ve never tried that!
We use handy towels to wipe away food residue from the cutlery and crockery.
We also use and mixture of vinegar and baking soda to keep the drains smelling fresh.
Works for us. 👍
That’s a good idea with the vinegar and baking soda! I’m going to try that for sure 👍
Well as the product has a laundry sheet my favourite cleaning hack is our plungermatic. A 20lt bucket with a standard plunger with a bunch of 10mm holes drilled in the cup. 5 Ltd of water in the bucket some detergent then add dirty clothes and plunge away for 5 - 10 mins. Rinse a couple of times and bingo clean clothes.
What a great idea! I might have to try that one!
Disinfectant wet wipes and elbow grease
Looks like a great product would be very keen to try. My tip would be when not using your caravan or camper place coffee beans in your fridge freezer leaves a lovely aroma until your next journey.
Keep up the good work team looking forward to your next video.
Ah that’s a good one! So when you switch the fridge off you leave some beans in there? That sounds like a smell we would enjoy haha
Love seeing everyone's ideas. We're still very new to the caravan game so not many tips acquired yet 😂 but one thing i do is set up a mini inflatable pool outside by the door for the kids to wash their feet before they enter the caravan. Way less sand on the floor then 😊
That’s a great idea! When we lived on the road we felt like we were constantly sweeping the caravan out!
If you need to clean your shower, do it at a dump station while filling and emptying your water, that way you are not wasting water washing shower down.
That’s a great idea! We took the odd shower at a dump station too haha, dumped tanks, showered and then dumped again!
We never leave home without antibacterial wipes and gloves for any cleaning emergency and hand sanitiser. Scrap off food from your plates asap after meals. We also have no shoes in the caravan rule.
No shoes in the caravan is a great rule! Wish my kids would listen to that one 😅
My favourite cleaning hack is to do with dishwashing. All the plates are scraped well then each dish gets a quick rinse then water goes off then I have a eco soap in a tin we wash all the dishes h (no water yet) then turn the water back on and rinse them all. We leave them to air dry on the bench on a microfibre dish towel which saves on tea towels also.
Glad there is a product like this in NZ been looking for one thank you.
Ah that’s a great idea leaving them on a microfibre towel! Let them drip dry and save a wet tea towel!
To quickly remove stubborn stains, 40 grit sandpaper on a powerful sander.
😂😂😂😂
Before end of shower few drops of tea tree oil, helps you and it's antibacterial properties freshen shower
Ah that’s a great idea! Down the drain or just on the bottom of the shower tray?
A must have is a pack of disinfectant wet wipes. So quick and easy to wipe down table, bench, sink, toilet etc.
Also a large lidded see- through container by the door is great to pop shoes, gumboots etc into to help keep floors clean.
Keen to try out those laundry sheets - they look awesome. Perfect for travelling 😊
Ah great idea for the shoes! Our kids are constantly walking dirt into the caravan haha
We have a campervan and after meals, I wipe our plates with a wet wipe which ensures no fatty residue goes into the greytank.
That’s a great idea! We had a pipe blocked recently and most of it was fat 😑
Cool product! With the same bowl (now empty) you've used in the microwave add water and a tiny drop of dishwash.. steam cleans the microwave (wipe out) and bowl will be now an easy clean up!
Ah that is a great tip! 👏
Hi Julie, Congrats you have won the Ecokaps giveaway 😁 send us an email at adventureswithrosy@gmail.com and we will get the prize to you!
Hi Jule, did you see our comment about winning the competition?
We use a rubberised pair of gloves for waste disposal (grey and toilet) so we dont have to dispose of gloves, just wash and pop into the grey hose storage area.
That’s a really good idea, less waste too 👌
My tip is: When I get a stain on my clothing I use shampoo to remove the stain. I put shampoo on the stain or stains, then place the clothing into a container if very hot water and leave it to soak overnight. I then wash it in cold water the next day and the stain is removed. If you have a more stubborn stain you may need to repeat this process again. It works I have seen the results by doing this myself 😅
I’ve never heard of the shampoo trick! Wonder what it is in the shampoo that gets rid of the stain. Will have to give it a go, it sounds great! 👍
have wet wipes for wiping down dishes before washing them and bbq cooking sheet to make it easy to wipe clean (keeping BBQ clean)
Oh yeh I use those bbq wipes sometimes and they are great! Easier to clean it be for you put it away too haha
I'd seen these tablet based cleaners advertised overseas but hadn't realised they were here. Thanks for the heads up, I'll buy some in for the bus!
I have the Bog Box. This is a lidded plastic box that I keep all I need to empty the toilet cassette, like disposable gloves, fluids, cloths etc: and this sits nicely under the van by the cassette door for when I need it. As I am in the UK you probably won’t pick me but I thought I would share it anyway.
The big box! I like that idea and great name too 😁
A cleaning hack for us in the motorhome is using baby wipes to wipe down to seating area, having a 4 an half year old as you know can make a bit of a mess at meal times.
We also have a wet and dry vacuum cleaner in there too for the just in case moments.
Those wet vacs are worth their weight in gold aye! We have one at home and it’s been so handy with the kids !
Wiping all dishes with a paper towel while food residue is still moist
This one seems quite popular! Thanks we need to try it out 😁
Using paper towels to clean the plates before washing to help keep the waste tank from smelling .also use them as paper plates easy clean up and completely compostable
Our cleaning hack isn’t so much while away it’s more as soon as we get home we do a full clean, change the sheets and put a nice smelly in the caravan so it’s clean fresh smelling ready to head away at a drop of the hat.
Yeh that’s pretty key aye! Get the caravan all sorted for next time 👌
We like to wipe the plates straight after use so food doesn’t stick too hard and use less water.
Yeh that’s a good one! We usually wash up as soon as we eat for that same reason!
The kids clean too! They help make messes so they have to clean up as well. 👍 -Jen
I think we need to get our kids cleaning more 😅
Hey Brono and Mrs Brono.
My fave cleaning hack is to take our wee one for a walk down the beach so mum can have a break.
Weirdly, the cleaning fairy comes along 🧚♀️ and everything's all sorted by the time I get back?! Magic.
Hahahaha that’s good, I might have to try that one! Take the kids out next time the kitchens a mess 😅🤔
We use a waterless carwash in a spray bottle which can be used on all external surfaces on the car, motorhome and caravan. It's small to store and does around a dozen washes.
Oh wow I’ve never heard of that before! Is that a thing or are you pulling my leg 😅
@@AdventuresWithRosy no it's available from luxxio.

Always have disposable gloves for the cassette emptying!
Hi Team my favourite hack is to use Happy bowl liners man do they save on the clenup of the toilet bowl.
Ah happy bowl! I’d not heard of those, had a google, they look pretty good!
Hey
Our favorite cleaning hack is don't take the kids away with you 😂🤣👍
Haha I didn’t know leaving them at home was an option! 😅
We give our son a keyboard vacum after ever meal to clean up his crumbs.
That’s a great idea!
Have a good ol dust pan and brush as a 'vaccum' really interested in these products and how well they will clean have tried another company’s and didnt work 😢
When we lived in the road it seemed like we were constantly sweeping out the caravan haha, the little dustpan and brush is worth its weight in gold
My wife wipes down spit splattered tapware, bathroom basin and loo with toilet paper at night after I've gone to bed and before she does. No stinky cloths lying around. Guess who wrote this...... (he still doesn't know I do this every night😆)
Haha he just wakes up in the morning and the place is spotless 😉😅
Let's here those cleaning tips and tricks in the comments below 😁👇
New to the caravanning life and I will be very interested to see what hacks from others I can use. This product looks great, not even for off grid but at home everyday.
