However when I sold it a few years later the buyer said it was lovely to see a <strong>van<\/strong> of this <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>age<\/strong> that smelt so fresh.<\/p>\n<p>1) Sort out leaks in the body work. In my <strong>van<\/strong>, I was dismayed to find mould growing behind where the table was stored, this had been scrubbed when I saw the <strong>van<\/strong> but came back quickly. The root cause was traced to a small rusty hole in the <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>roof<\/strong> that let in a gradual <strong>drip<\/strong>. The metal was cut back beyond the rust and using a mesh underneath I built it back up and painted it.<\/p>\n<p>2) Check the seals on the windows and the <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>roof<\/strong> light. You can usually reseal the <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>roof<\/strong> light with sealant, but if the <strong>window<\/strong> seals are perishing you may <strong>need<\/strong> to consider replacing these.<\/p>\n<p>3) The obvious tip &#8211; wash everything you can in the washing machine. Take down all the curtains and put in the washing machine. Likewise for any cushion covers. Make sure these are completely dry before returning to the <strong>van<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>4) Steam clean. I have a cheap steam cleaner that I brought many years ago, but you can hire <strong>one<\/strong>. As well as cleaning the carpets and fixed furnishings, you can also clean the cooker from decades of dirt and are great for killing of mould and moving dirt from corners. I even used it on the lino floor rather than scrubbing.<\/p>\n<p>5) Empty and clean all the holding tanks.<\/p>\n<p>6) Crush some rosemary and lavender using a pestle and mortar and <strong>place<\/strong> in a jar. Pierce some holes in the lid. Shake a little of the contents on to the carpets before vacuuming.<\/p>\n<p>This <strong>article<\/strong> was brought to you to you by Look4CarCare.
