How Do You Clean the Inside of a Pickup Truck?

Cleaning the inside of a pickup truck can be an intimidating and arduous task, but with the right supplies and methods, it can be much easier than you think. Here are a few tips to help you get your pickup truck looking like new again in no time.

Start with Vacuuming

The first step in cleaning the interior of a pickup truck is to vacuum the seats, carpet, and floor mats. Be sure to use an upholstery attachment on any fabric surfaces to avoid damaging them.

Vacuuming will remove dirt, dust, and other debris that can accumulate over time. After vacuuming the entire interior of your pickup truck, use a brush attachment to remove any remaining dirt or debris.

Clean Hard Surfaces

Once you’ve vacuumed the interior of your pickup truck, it’s time to clean any hard surfaces such as plastic, vinyl, and metal. For these surfaces you’ll need an all-purpose cleaner or degreaser specifically designed for auto interiors.

Spray the cleaner onto a clean microfiber cloth and wipe down all hard surfaces until they are free from dirt and grime. You may need to use a scrub brush on tough spots or stains.

Clean Windows

Next up is cleaning the windows of your pickup truck. Start by spraying glass cleaner onto a clean microfiber cloth and wiping down all windows both inside and out until they are free from dirt and streaks.

You can also use newspaper or paper towels for this job if needed. Once all windows have been cleaned, use an automotive window sealant specifically designed for cars for added protection against weathering and fading over time.

Clean Upholstery

The last step in cleaning the inside of your pickup truck is to clean any fabric upholstery such as seat covers or floor mats using an upholstery cleaner specifically designed for auto interiors. Spray the cleaner onto a clean microfiber cloth and scrub into any fabric surfaces until they are free from dirt, grime, and stains. Allow upholstery to air dry before using your pickup truck again.

Conclusion

Cleaning the inside of a pickup truck doesn’t have to be difficult if you have the right supplies and methods at hand! Start by vacuuming all surfaces followed by cleaning hard surfaces such as plastic or vinyl with an all-purpose cleaner or degreaser before moving onto windows with glass cleaner plus window sealant for added protection against weathering over time Lastly finish off with fabric upholstery using an upholstery cleaner specific for auto interiors.
