Cleaning with a q-tip…you’ve got to be kidding!

Once we settled into our spot in Charleston, we realized it would be a great place to do some deep cleaning. Great big site, no one next to us, gravel driveway and lots of room. So on Friday we got out all of the cleaning supplies and got to work. Lee went up on the roof to scrub and I looked for a project inside. I’m always really scared when Lee is up on the roof, so I prefer to stay inside and busy until he finishes!

Looking for a project inside I finally decided on the windows. I planned on washing the windows outside once Lee did the sides, so I figured I would do the windows inside. As I started on them I noticed that down in the grooves it was looking pretty dirty. Back when we had a house, I didn’t mind the occasional times when I needed to wash the windows… whoosh, swoosh, dry and you’re done. But an RV’s windows are something else. There are little grooves and ridges everywhere. I got out my microfiber cloth and some cleaning spray and set to work. No luck…that cloth was NOT going down in those grooves. hmmmm…ah ha!!! Q-tips!!! So armed with a whole pile of q-tips and a little bowl of water I cleaned the window grooves. I never did get to the windows, but now we have the cleanest grooves and ridges in town!!!

Oh … the top and sides of the rig are looking mighty fine too! Next on the agenda is waxing and doing the windows. And then of course the truck needs doing as well. But not with q-tips!

Hope you had a great day!

Q-tips are the bomb!

You can do our rig next. That sounds like way too much work. I'm not a great deep cleaner.

After moving out of "Q" we really need to do some deep cleaning. That's on our agenda for the next few days.
