    What's is the best thing some of y'all use to clean the floors of the truck? Would armor all or something like that be good since it's vinyl basically?

    When the armor alled floors get wet they can get real slippery. Outside of that it works ok.

    What kind of floor? Most are vinyl. Ribbed? Flat?

    Mine's flat before this last cold snap cracked the surface. I used a broom and a swiffer

    I use liquid #### an span. No armorall will make everything too slippery. When I bought my truck they detailed it with AA it was days before my boots weren't trying to slip of the brake an clutch

    Edit guess the filter doesn't like the word s p i c

    To get my Volvo floor looking brand new, I scrubbed it with Palmolive and water. Then once every few weeks I would use either Black Magic tire protectant or Meguiars. Every day I would wipe the floor out and I kept a towel down underneath my feet. Dirt doesn’t stick to the floor when you do this.

    Armor All is risky...
    makes the Vinyl extremely Slippery. I use "Fantastik", cleans the Vinyl but No slippery surface.
    No Gloss either....just Clean.

    Try the green spray cleaner and a small towel. I’m OTR and a clean freak, so I know. First vacuum up pebbles and larger debris that you tracked in. Then the green cleaner will leave nearly the same semi-gloss as armor all but without the slippery affect. It smells clean too.

    Edit Oops I see txdriver already recommended the exact same thing.
     
    Txdriver77 and Dan.S Thank this.

    I sweep and hand mop the truck everyday. I found the bleach mix, all purpose cleaner seems to work the best for me.- Since I moved over to open deck, the truck needs a lot of cleaning.
