How to Clean Your Van Before You Sell It

For most people commercial trucks and vans are just for work, keeping this in mind many people who own a commercial van will not waste much of their time on cleaning it. They have enough time to clean their private car on weekends, so they don’t like to do the same for something which they only use for their professional use only.

The thing is many people neglect this factor that cleaning your vehicle is essential, even if it has become a scrap car and you intend to sell it; still, it needs to be cleaned before you sell it. If you decide to sell your van, then the first thing you need to consider is to clean it.

There are many reasons for ensuring that your van is clean and tidy, but one of the main reasons is that at some point you might want to sell it and cleanliness adds value to a used van. Of course, this is not the only way to get a good deal, but keeping it in a reasonable condition can help you grab a better deal and larger amount of money than the actual worth of the used vehicle.

Now if you have a commercial van, it is proven that having an organised and uncluttered working space within your vehicle can make sure that your daily work goes smoothly. Knowing that the paperwork of the van is not buried underneath months of trash in your vehicle can give you great peace of mind which in turn will cause less stress in a much stressful situation.

Here are some tips and advice on making a start on tidying and cleaning your work van:

•    Carpets and other material in the crew cab of your van can contain all sorts of dirt, dust and smells during their working time. To fix this condition, you firstly need to use normal fabric stain remover to get any visible stains cleaned after that use some carpet shampoo to clean the rest of. Carpets should be hung up and aired outside for better cleaning.

•    Engines can become way too dirty and greasy over time; an unclean engine can cause unnecessary odour and can also lead towards overheating. A simple procedure that should be used to get rid of it is to use engine degreaser over the chassis and engine and let it soak and rest for around five to ten minutes. This can be removed by using a cloth or spraying water over the engine if there are any tight spots use a garden water sprayer to get rid of them.

•    Along with cleaning your van, you can also use preventative and protective measures. You can make use of a plastic or rubber protector solution on both the interior and exterior of your van.
