This blog post will discuss how to clean a tonneau cover in detail. We will provide step-by-step instructions on cleaning fabric and vinyl tonneau covers. Follow these instructions, and your tonneau cover will look like new!
Remove The Tonneau Cover From Your Truck
The first thing you need to do is take the cover off your truck. This will give you better access to clean the cover and prevent any cleaner from getting on your truck. To remove the cover, follow the instructions that came with your cover. Every cover is different, but they all should be easy to remove. If you have any trouble removing the cover, consult your truck’s owner’s manual or the cover manufacturer.
Clean It Using Soapy Water
Once the cover is removed, it’s time to start cleaning. The best way to clean a tonneau cover is with soapy water. You can use any type of mild soap, such as dish soap. Fill a bucket with water and add a few squirts of soap. Stir the water until the soap is dissolved.
Dip a clean cloth or sponge into the soapy water and scrub the cover. Be sure to scrub all sides of the cover, including the top, bottom, and sides. If your cover is very dirty, you may need to scrub it with a brush. Once you’ve scrubbed the entire cover, rinse it off with clean water.
Scrub Off All The Dirt And Grime With A Soft Brush
If your cover is still dirty, you can try scrubbing it with a soft brush. A toothbrush or an old paintbrush will work perfectly. Dip the brush in soapy water and start scrubbing the cover. Be sure to focus on any especially dirty areas. Once you’ve scrubbed the entire cover, rinse it off with clean water.
If your cover is still dirty after trying both of these methods, you may need to use a cleaner specifically designed for tonneau covers. These cleaners can be found at most auto parts stores. Follow the instructions on the cleaner to clean your cover.
Rinse Off The Cover And Let It Air Dry
Once you’ve cleaned the cover, it’s important to rinse it off thoroughly. This will remove any soap or cleaner residue from the cover. Simply spray it down with a hose or use a bucket of clean water to rinse it off.
After you’ve rinsed it off, let the cover air dry. Please do not put the cover back on your truck until it is completely dry. If you have a fabric cover, you can speed up the drying process by using a hair dryer on the low setting.
Reinstall The Cover On Your Truck
Once the cover is dry, you can put it back on your truck. Simply follow the instructions that came with your cover. Make sure the cover is properly secured before driving. That’s it! You now know how to clean a tonneau cover. Follow these instructions, and your cover will look new. If you have any questions about cleaning your cover, consult the manufacturer or your truck’s owner’s manual.
