You spend a lot of time in your truck cabin, so it is very important that it is and remains clean. This is not only important for your health, but also for the professionalism that you radiate. Of course, cleaning is not the most fun job, but if you do something about the interior of your truck every week, it will all be fine! In this blog post we share useful tips to keep every corner of your cabin clean.
Make cleaning a routine
To prevent work from piling up, you can assign fixed days of the week to certain chores. For example, you can wipe down the dashboard on Monday and quickly beat out the mats on Wednesday. Do you feel like that's too often? Then do it every other week! Create a routine that fits your work schedule and also pay close attention to whether you quickly make a mess of it... And be honest! 😉
If you have fixed days for yourself on which you clean a small part of the cabin of your truck, the amount of work is not too bad. Do you prefer to let things be, do you prefer to wait until it really can't be done anymore or do you prefer to do everything at once? That is also possible! Do you simply not like cleaning? Then you can always come to Truckwash 1 Group, we are happy to help you!
Cleaning your dashboard/cockpit
Cleaning your dashboard is one of the easiest jobs. Make sure you have two (microfiber) cloths and a good cleaner, such as the Multi Cleaner from TrucksSupply. You start by wiping away dust and other dirt with a dry cloth. Then you spray cleaner on the dashboard, let it work for a while and wipe it dry with a clean cloth. Done! Very simple and it will take you at most 5 minutes. We also recommend the Dashboard Renovator from TrucksSupply. This brings back the original color, cares for and protects!
By the way, don't forget to take the grids with you every now and then, a lot of dust can accumulate here. You can use the detailer's brush brush for this, to get to those difficult spots.
Cleaning your chairs
Delicious, such a croissant on the road, huh? Or are you more of a frikandel bun? We don't care! But what we do care about is the amount of mess such delicious snacks can provide. These crumbs then all sit deliciously in the folds of your truck seat. If you know that you are good at crumbling while eating, then occasionally fly over your seat with a vacuum cleaner. Do you have extra time? Then take the footwell and the mats with you!
Chairs covered with textile
Did you spill coffee? Then you won't be able to get it out of your chair that easily. If your chair is upholstered with textile, we recommend making a soapy solution of lukewarm water and a cleaning agent, such as the Multi Cleaner from TrucksSupply. Spray the cleaning agent evenly over the entire chair and not just on the stain, rub with a dry cloth. Then let the chairs dry well. Is the chair very dirty, for example with stains? Then use a brush!
Is the stain still not gone? Then repeat the above steps. Are you still unable to remove the stains from the seats? Then you can also use a carpet cleaner (device) to remove stubborn stains. Do you not have this at hand? Then we recommend an interior cleaning at TrucksSupply!
Leather chairs
Do you have leather chairs? Then it is especially important to maintain them regularly to keep the leather as beautiful as possible. Cleaning leather seems like a difficult job at first, but if you take the time for it, you can extend its lifespan and keep it looking beautiful.
Cleaning the mirrors and windows
The outside of your windows can sometimes take a beating. Insects and bird droppings, dust and other dirt can accumulate here. It is therefore important to regularly clean the outside of your car windows! But when was the last time you cleaned the inside? Fortunately, it is not a difficult job! Below you will find all the information on how to do this best.
Do you also suffer from fogged windows and mirrors every now and then? Super annoying! Fortunately, you can use an anti-fog product for that. Don't forget to take your mirrors with you, so you can ensure that you can drive on the road with a crystal clear view again.
Washing bedding
If you regularly sleep in your cabin or take a nap every now and then, it is important to change your bedding regularly: preferably once a week. It not only ensures a good night's sleep, but also a fresher feeling in the entire cabin. It is also better for your health to change your bedding regularly. It may not sound fresh, but when you sleep you lose body fluids (sweat) and leave dead skin cells behind. This is completely normal, but it can become a breeding ground for bacteria and dust mites if you wait too long to wash it!
So make sure you change your bedding on time. This way you can always relax, unwind and prepare for a new working day.
Make sure it smells nice
Did you know that certain scents can affect your mood? Citrus scents can not only give your mood a boost, but can also make you feel energetic. Of course, scent is very personal and you are probably thinking: "I feel much happier when I smell vanilla." Fortunately, there is a scent spray, scent jar or scent hanger available for every preference.
We are personally big fans of the Truckfume air fresheners. Truckfume has 8 different scents, of which at least one will suit you! Are you looking for a scent hanger or jar? Then you can go for the Grace Mate Poppy air fresheners.
Freshen up the road
Since you spend a lot of time in your cabin, it is important that it is fresh and clean. This ensures better focus and also contributes to your health. The above tips do not take much time if you divide them over the week/weeks. This way you do not have to do everything at once and the maintenance remains manageable.
