Keeping a cab clean, how do you do it?

[dntfxr]

I'm looking for suggestions on keeping out mud when it's wet, and dust the rest of the time. So far I only have a towel I keep on the floor next to the door and I wipe off excess mud that I can't scrape off on the tires or step. I also have a disposable duster I stole from my wife that works really well for the dust on the glass and interior panels. I've been kicking around gabbing a boot scraper and/or a piece of bristle welcome mat on the step. Also I'm considering finding a small rechargeable vacuum I can leave in the cab. Any suggestions? Surely someone has this figured out by now, but I haven't had a cab tractor since riding in my Dad's IH when I was a toddler. I did a search but didn't find a ton, maybe I used the wrong words... All replies are appreciated!

I don't have a cabbed tractor but my one-ton has all the problems you describe and more. I just let it build up instead of spending a lot of time fighting the grime. And then sometime I have the air hose out I just open the doors and blast her out. I call it the construction special - interior car care.

I'm having a hard time telling if this is tounge-in-cheek or not. Surly it is?! Perhaps I am incorrect assuming that the op is referring to a tractor cab.

No I think he is honestly trying to keep his tractor cab clean. There is nothing wrong with that in my book. It is just very hard to do and keep up with. To hard for me anyway.

I use my Stihl backpack blower to blow out the pickup and tractor cabs. I avoid muddy conditions as much as I can but sometimes I have no choice. So when I get mud in the cabs I have one of my guys clean it out. JK

Having a dirty/dusty cab bothers me like crazy.
I just clean them a couple times a year. More if needed. The mat comes out so I just hose it off and wipe the rest down with a damp cloth.
If you come across a better way please share.

My friend has the perfect answer---He has his WIFE do it!!!

I don't have a cab so I don't have to deal with the glass but I just kick off the boots on the step and try to avoid playing in the mud. A few time in the summer I will hit it with compressed air or maybe the preasure washer if it's real bad. Same thing with the work truck, just dump the floor mats out and wipe the windows down when it's hard to see through them. Maybe cut a rubber mat to fit then you can just dump it out.

I always get Ford XLT interiors in my Ford service trucks but go with carpet delete and get the rubber floor mats. Way easier to keep clean imo.

Both my M's stay fairly clean and I farm. I blow 'em out with an air hose when I fuel them in the evening.
