5 Tips For Keeping Your New Van Clean

When you first buy a van, that fresh smell and clean interior is something that you want to maintain permanently. But unfortunately, work gets in the way and your van can get dirty and messy very quickly if you don’t put a few things in place. Cleaning a work van might not be your favourite hobby, but it’s the best way to keep your van clean at all times.

Clean in Spare Time

One of the best ways to keep your van spotless is to implement a cleaning routine. Rather than sitting in on weekends watching TV or scrolling through social media, why not get the sponge out and get cleaning?

Restrict Foods

One of the main culprits for a messy van can be food and drink. You might think it’s a good idea to eat in your van on a lunch break, but the potential for crumbs or spilt liquids is just too high. Limiting the foods you allow in new vans will go a long way to ensuring your new van is consistently clean.

Stay on Top of Dust

If you keep to a cleaning schedule, then you’ll know how important it is to remove dust at every opportunity. Whether you own a big or small van, some areas will be harder to clean. To counteract this, it might be a good idea to invest in a small sponge brush so you can clean small areas, like the air vents.

Tidy the Load Area

When you own a work van, it’s likely that your load area will be the most untidy part of the vehicle because of all the tools and equipment. Therefore it is advisable that you organise all of your equipment so that it is tidy and easy to locate. This will make your van look tidier but also make your life easier too.

Don’t Forget the Paperwork

If you own a work van, then chances are you’ll be working with lots of paperwork such as contracts, quotes, agreements, delivery notes and invoices. Without organising and storing your paperwork in one compartment, then your van might start looking like a ransacked library! Having unorganised paperwork can not only land you in some trouble with your customer, but it also doesn’t reflect a very good image of your business.

"First time using Vansaway! I was in a bit of a panic as my van broke down and I was unable to fix it. My van is my livihood, so I looked into leasing and contract. I wish I done it sooner. I spoke to Jonathan as my first point of contact. I couldn't have got any luckier having him as my support. He was absolutely fantastic, he went above and beyond to help me. He was easy to contact and would always reply when I had any concerns or questions. His knowledge on all vehicles was impeccable, which made things easier. He listened to what I wanted and needed and explained everything thoroughly help me making the right choice in plan and kept in touch throughout the entire process! He knew I was in desperate need of a van and he did not disappoint and kept his word and I was able to get my new van delivered as soon as possible. Enjoying the drive. Its great about the perks involved in having a contract hire as well! Thank you so much for everything! Highly recommend, vans are just not how they use to be, so its great to have a brand new van along with the support of any engine faults things like that. A huge stress off my shoulders being sole trader."
