You know the feeling. You're cruising along, 100 kilometers here, 100 kilometers there, nothing can stop you. It's a piece of cake. You're the man, no, you're the boss. You've got some good music playing, the air conditioning is blowing a fresh breeze while the sun is beating down on your windows. From behind your sunglasses, you look into the cars you pass, shamelessly and as loudly and off-key as you can, singing along to the radio. But that masked carefree feeling is brutally squashed when, after half an hour of unloading, you open your cabin door again and hear yourself say; "What's that strange smell in here?". Sound familiar? Of course. But fortunately, there are solutions!
Why keep your truck cabin clean?
During the day, while you're cruising along without a care, you quickly make a mess of your neat cabin without even realizing it. Forgotten crumbs from your sandwich, a crumpled wrapper from a candy bar, the container and napkin from that delicious meatball sub along the A2, and the melted and leaking remains of that refreshing ice cream. And as carefree as you are, you occasionally spill something on the upholstery. Both yours and your truck's.
Well, that, in combination with the sun, closed windows, the air conditioning, and yourself, are the perfect ingredients for your astonishing "what's that strange smell in here" experience. And even though a free-spirited trucker might shrug his shoulders a bit more often about things others get particularly worked up about, the fact remains that no one likes to voluntarily confine themselves in a stinky enclosed space.
