I clean the inside of ours every trip too. I m sure that s why it takes us so long to close everything down. However, not being able to have our PU at home, I just don t have any other time that is good for doing this sort of thing. I use Simple Green or Clorax wipes for the inside cleaning. This last time I also found Mop and Glow wipes and did the floor after I washed it all down.  I also clean off any spots from the awning before rolling it up.. again Simple Green. We ve only had the popup since June so we really haven t done a HUGE washing of the side vinyls yet.  The exterior box and roof also get wiped down with Simple Green and hosed off anytime we re in a campground where it won t make too much of a mess for others.

I clean the inside after I get home and unpack from every trip, as I usually end up tracking in dirt when breaking camp. Clean vinyl and canvas once a month, unless dirt is evident then I clean it to prevent mildew. Wash and/or rinse box after each trip.

OMG, I guess we re slobs!  Before popping down, we wipe counters and tables well.  We only sweep the floor, because it seems we always get it tracked up when we are setting up.  Therefore, the last thing WE (it s DH s job) do on setup is clean the floor.  A couple times a year WE wax it, too.  We clean windows as needed, and usually do that while camping.  We ve washed the curtains once in 7 and 1/2 years and we keep the bunk end mattresses covered with fitted sheets that we wash after nearly every trip.  We ve cleaned out the storage spaces maybe 3 times in 7 and 1/2 years and waxed the floors in there too.  We wash the outside of the box as needed, and have thoroughly cleaned the outside of the tent maybe 3 or 4 times in that 7 and 1/2 years.  Black marks and bird poop get cleaned off as we notice them.  Since we live and camp in a dry climate, maybe things stay cleaner than usual.  Or, am I rationalizing?

1.) How often do you clean the inside of your popup, and what do you use?
  I clean the inside after we get home from camping at my own leisure pace, using what ever cleaner I have on hand (not brand loyal) long as it isn t Simple Green (don t like the smell)
 
 2.) How often do you clean the exterior tenting material of your popup and what do you use? Side canvas vs. top of the canvas (you know, when you have to get on a ladder and reach WAY over).
 Tenting?? Whats that? []  The top, or as we refer to it the peak [] gets done along with the box when ever the outside looks like it needs it. (we reach waaaay up, not over)
 
 
 3.) How often do you clean the exterior box of your popup and what do you use?
 see above.. usually use dish soap and then a coat of wax.
 Our windows are of different construction than canvas pop ups and I polish them every spring with Meguires Mirror Glaze then wax as needed during the season.
