We just purchased an older camper. It is in very good condition and original. But it does have old camper smells. I would like to keep it original for now. I don't want to change out cushions since they are in such good shape. I have washed the curtains. But I would love suggestions on how to freshen up the cushions (one side is vinyl-I just wiped those down) but need help with the fabric side. Also refrigerator and stove/oven is pretty dirty. Looking for some cleaning tips. Thanks!

Vinager and water wipes everything clean. Fabreze on all soft surfaces like cloth on cushions. If they zip off then spray the foam. I put fabric dryer sheets everywhere to soak up the musty smell. Send photos ... I have two old Scottys. You can tape the dryer sheets under the table and it helps too. Hugs and prayers, Daizy

Thank you for the cleaning tips. I have used a "homemade" dry shampoo of cornstarch and baking soda on the cushions and vacuumed them all. I did find some damage on one. I may end up making slip covers for them. I will post picture when it warms up and we pull it out the barn to clean it :)
I don't use Febreeze (I don't like the smell), but I found that Biokleen makes a fabric freshener with enzymes and it works really great! That's what I would use, too. :)
