Anti "funk" bombs....

10% bleach in pine-sol, spray aerosol bottle and a roll of shop towels. Get to wiping and spraying. Once everything in the truck after a few hours work is disinfected that funk should be bye bye.

You can do all sorts of air fresheners, incense burning etc. But unfortunately in today's world that draws the Popo like flies to Canadian maple syrup.

The two of us would have the entire truck disinfected weekly, catbox replaced monthly. And the cab disinfected as we go along. Sit and wait to be loaded? Disinfecting time. We were not clean freaks, but that is was one of the greatest defenses against horrible wounds should your skin get breached and god knows only what from around the 48 states get into it for example.

 

If your tractor once housed a smoker, the defunkification process is going to require a long term effort.

An odor neutralizer is also helpful.
I also like brand name citrus cleaners.

Another good odor cover up are scented candles. Walmart's got 'em. One time, I even got fancy and bought some scented candles from Yankee Candle.

 

If your getting out of the truck overnight . Shut off truck and empty a can of Lysol into vents and shut door ASAP .. It will kill any bacteria that may be causing your smell

 

There are air neutralizing bombs that Walmart and parts stores carry in the detail and cleaning sections. You set air too high and on the setting too recirculate the air, shut all windows and doors and set it off. Takes about 15 mins .

 

A quick & effective solution if you ever end uo in a motel room and it stinks. Dump a 1/2a bottle of febreeze in the vent of the air conditioner. It will last a full day.

On the flip, of it’s a company truck and you just don’t care, you could do it in the truck, dump it down your defroster. I wouldn’t, but you could.

 

Clorox or lysol wipes. They're handy and easy to use on all non-porous surfaces. Get a waterproof mattress cover for your bed and wash it every other time you do laundry. (mattresses collect all sorts of funk, even if you're clean)
Another thing that might help is an ozone generator. It produces negative ions that force airborne particles to fall to the floor.

 

Get a new mattress and new pillows if both are a few years old. Make sure you are washing all your bedding, sheets blankets comforter.
Also do a sniff test of the drivers seat. Almost any used truck I've been in, those were the culprits. Unless it's a new truck, I always buy a full seat cover. The last time I was with Schneider, I got a truck that apparently had a driver that liked to not where a shirt while driver and the seat stunk like BO so bad that I tore the foam out and stole some from the used truck graveyard at the north salt lake yard. And the seat still stunk 4 months later after repeatedly shampooing it.

 

I use disinfectant spray. The stuff is absolutely brutal so don’t stay in the truck after you do it. Literally spray everything you can and a heavy dose on the seat.

 

Fabreeze any fabric surfaces, seats headliner, carpet, ect. these surfaces pick up and hold odors.

maybe leave windows open to air out sometimes.
