    Anyone use a Swiffer to clean RV exterior?

    I am in a park with no RV washing allowed. Exterior is slightly dirty [have had lots of rain]. Has anyone used a Swiffer sweeper wet mop to clean the RV exterior? I currently use my Swiffer on the inside walls, ceiling and floors.

    Want to try the Swiffer on the exterior followed by waxing. There are lots of RV cleaning products and advise out there but I could not find any Swiffer info on the gel coat. The dry wash systems are available but the Swiffer is really cheap.

    I use a product called Wash Wax All. The only water needed is to wet the microfiber towel used to apply the product. Another towel is used to wipe off the dried product.

    I have the wash wax all system. I personally don't see why the Swiffer wouldn't work for the minor dust etc. I am not sure how well it would work with the bugs on the nose.

    So I tried the swiffer and it will remove the dirt however it got really dirty since my unit was dirtier than I thought. It does work. Time for the Wash and Wax.

    Be careful using a Swiffer brand product on the exterior of your coach. If it is one of the products that is damp or leaves a residue, it has a pH level of approximately 10 which is very alkaline. Over time, this may damage the clear coat or decals on your unit. It's always best to stay with products that are designed for your RV.

    Thanks for the great information. Just ordered it now. We can’t always find a wash bay for the rv and like to clean it when we arrive. We travel from Ontario to Florida quite often and seem to pick up quite a few extra passengers on our truck and rig!
