Meet Muk Junkie

The Welsh Family Business Keeping Motorhomes Clean

If you own a motorhome or caravan, you quickly discover that keeping it clean involves a little more than a bucket of soapy water.

Black streaks down the bodywork, road grime, dead insects across the front, dirty wheels and, of course, the less glamorous side of motorhome ownership — keeping the toilet system clean and fresh.

That's where Muk Junkie comes in.

Based on the beautiful Isle of Anglesey, Muk Junkie is a small, family-run Welsh business producing a growing range of cleaning products specifically for caravans and motorhomes.

And this really is a family business.

The family are hands-on with the operation, including bottling and preparing products themselves before they make their way to customers.

For us at Camper App, that's exactly the sort of British business we love discovering.

More Than Just Vehicle Cleaner

When we first came across Muk Junkie, it would have been easy to assume they were simply another vehicle-cleaning brand.

Take a closer look and you'll find an extensive range dedicated specifically to caravan and motorhome owners.

Their range covers many of the jobs we regularly have to deal with when looking after our vehicles — both outside and inside.

Caravan & Motorhome Cleaner

Probably the obvious place to start.

Muk Junkie's dedicated Caravan & Motorhome Cleaner has been developed specifically for touring caravans, motorhomes and static holiday homes.

It's designed to tackle dirt, grime, algae, road film, mud, salt deposits and those familiar black streaks while being suitable for the different materials found around our vehicles.

It can be used across painted surfaces, plastics and plastic windows, aluminium, stainless and galvanised steel, fibreglass, gel coats, rubber and alloy wheels.

It's concentrated too, with Muk Junkie recommending dilution of up to one part cleaner to nine parts water.

Once rinsed, it's designed to leave behind a glossy protective coating.

Chemical Toilet Blue

Now we're getting to one of those subjects every motorhome and caravan owner understands...

The cassette toilet.

It might not be the most glamorous part of touring, but looking after it properly is an essential part of motorhome life.

Muk Junkie produces its own Chemical Toilet Blue, available in several sizes, including handy 1-litre bottles as well as larger containers for regular users.

That means one small Welsh family business can supply not only what you need for cleaning the outside of your motorhome, but products for one of its most important systems inside too.

Toilet Bowl Rinse

Alongside the Chemical Toilet Blue, Muk Junkie also produces a dedicated Toilet Bowl Rinse.

Again, it's available in different sizes, and they even offer packs combining the Toilet Blue and Bowl Rinse together.

It's the sort of everyday motorhome consumable that we're all going to need eventually — so being able to buy it from a small independent business rather than automatically reaching for one of the huge brands is something worth knowing about.

Bug Wash

Anyone who's driven a motorhome any real distance during the summer will know this problem.

You arrive at your destination and the front of the motorhome looks like it's collected every flying insect between home and the campsite.

Muk Junkie's Bug Wash is designed to break down bugs, flies and road grime and is suitable for the range of surfaces commonly found on caravans and motorhomes.

Spray it on, leave it for a few minutes, wipe and rinse before following up with the Caravan & Motorhome Cleaner.Simple.

Acid-Free Wheel Cleaner

Then there are the wheels.

Muk Junkie's Acid-Free Wheel Cleaner is designed to tackle road grime and brake dust without using strong acids.

It's suitable for painted alloy, steel and chrome wheels as well as polished aluminium rims — another useful product for keeping your pride and joy looking its best.

Screen Wash and More

The range doesn't stop there.

Muk Junkie also offers Screen Wash, larger refill containers and various caravan and motorhome bundles.

In fact, they've put together dedicated Caravan and Motorhome Essentials Packs, making it possible to pick up several of the products you'll regularly use rather than buying everything separately.

A Small Welsh Business Doing Things Differently

What we particularly like about Muk Junkie isn't just the number of products.

It's the people behind them.

Muk Junkie isn't a faceless multinational.

It's a small family business in Anglesey, Wales, where members of the family are directly involved in the business, including bottling and preparing the products themselves.

When you order from a business like Muk Junkie, there's a family at the other end working to build something of their own.

And we think businesses like that deserve a little more attention.

Supporting Businesses Within the Camping Community

At Camper App, we want to do more than help you find campsites and navigate to your next adventure.

We also want to introduce our community to great independent businesses and useful products that make camping, caravanning and motorhome life that little bit easier.

Muk Junkie ticks a lot of those boxes.

• They're independent.

• They're family-run.

And most importantly, they're producing products specifically aimed at jobs that caravan and motorhome owners actually have to do.

From washing away black streaks and road grime to cleaning your wheels, removing the remains of a motorway full of insects and taking care of the toilet...

they've pretty much got the messy side of motorhome life covered.

So next time you're stocking up on motorhome cleaning products, toilet chemicals or getting ready to give the van a proper clean before your next adventure, take a look at this little family business from Anglesey.

Sometimes supporting small really is as simple as changing which bottle you pick up.

Family-run. Bottled by the family. Made for people who love getting out there.

That's Muk Junkie.
