What are your preferred cleaning products for the surfaces in your MoHo? Including bathroom.
I use mainly bio products, vinegar and savon noir (black soap) here in France.
 
Thanks I thought there might be a specific product, I will look. I’m so used to using no bleach because of our septic tank here but acknowledge I may have to resort to some chemicals while traveling.

I had a look, the Thetford stuff is quite cheap, but does it make everything smell like a public toilet?

I'm a convert to vinegar/water mix now. I tried it to get out the stains on my bathroom floor that were a result of aerosol sunspray. It didn't fix that but does clean the normal grime really well. Pour a litle bit in the toilet bowl too just to stop any build up on the flap of the cassette. Seems to work well. I just use flash wipes or something similar for kitchen area worktops.

Can anyone recommend anything for said suncream stains? I've tried everything but can't get rid of the orangey stains in the shower tray.

I bought 5ltrs of Citrus Power Clean years ago, still half of it left, as its diluted in a trigger bottle and goes a long way. I use it to clean everything especially UPVC, or paintwork/walls at home. I also have trigger bottle in the van, which I use on most things even the van roof, dash board, rubber mats, or side skirts after a run.

Could the orange stains be from oxides in the water. I get them from a long term drip in the bathroom….not my partner!
No it appeared not long after I had spray the aerosol in there. Nothing seems to be getting rid of it. It doesn't bother me but if I was to ever try and sell the van.....

monzer have you tried neat bleach yet on the spots?, apply leave for a while then rinse off.
OR
T-Cut to polish out the stain, followed by a good car wax/polish.
Good Luck.

Quite a pleasant smell works a treat cleaning the plastic loo pan.
Expensive in the UK, I've always bought it when at my Belgium dealer.

Bleach is next on the hit list but I was trying to avoid that. I was hoping vinegar would do the trick but no such luck. Also when the shower has been used it's mixed with the suncream so it's not really spots it's kind of all over the natural run where the water would go.

I agrée with the T cut something a bit abrasive. I would maybe try to use one of my bio facial exfoliating washes with the bleach, or sugar.

That’s interesting about the sun cream . We have a ban on cream and oil in the hot tub here, I can see that will need to be extended to the Moho shower. Compulsory shower outside I think if you are oily!! We usually set one up at our remote home here in summer.

I use ´Wife´ for as much as I can and then the same multi-surface cleaner I use in the house, I also have a furniture polish with built in bug repellent I got in Italy last year, not sure if it works but it smells good....
