So I am carpooling a bunch of people tomorrow night and wanted to make sure the truck was clean and happy. I used my general purpose cleaner created in another BB (white vinegar, water, lemon juice) as my general cleaner for the interior. Between the dog hair and dirt from being outdoors all the time, the truck definitely needed a makeover. I do want to apologize for the lighting in these pics. It is super bright here today and the shadows made it difficult to get great pics. I did my best.

TIL: A dry microfiber cloth works just as well on the dash as the "armored" stuff

Used microfiber cloths, weak vinegar solution applied directly to the cloth, and vacuum.

Van needed cleaned badly.
Used a cleaner recipe I found online for cleaning the leather seats: Castile soap and water 1:5 ratio. I put it in a spray bottle but it didn’t spray well so I ended up dabbing my cloth on the top of the bottle to saturate. Worked well! The lavender soap smell is nice.

I also used vinegar, water, and orange essential oil cleaner on the glass.

I’m glad to do this as its come up as a safety moment several times at my work - in the fall make sure your windshield is clean inside as the light changing makes the glare worse. Happy to get around to this for that as well.
