No, really I don’t understand. Our office doesn’t have a place to clean our vans, otherwise I would! Sorry for the genuine question

oh sorry thought you was taking the piss. ok so I keep the inside clean by just clearing any rubbish out at the end of my delivery each day eg bands. however when I am on leave this is not done, I come back to a gear stick wrapped in bands, sweet wrappers, half bottles of drinks, stains, and 739's all over the place. And the outside gets cleaned at the petrol station near my office when it needs cleaning, im not someone who needs it to be shiny clean all the time, I will do this every 2 to 3 months. its the inside that it a total shithole after I return from leave.

Usually a safe assumption.

Yeah I know what you mean, I clear out the inside after every shift too. What is with the bands on the gear stick? They’re like gold dust in our office

Do they cover cost or do you just do it out your own pocket? Winters taking its toll on mine and I’d like to give it a good cleaner

If you use a local garage to fill up and you use a card dedicated to the van, then you can usually use that to pay for a jet wash. Ask at the counter.

yep same here

Most of the vans in my office are like that, full of rubbish inside, some of them smell bad, no one cares :(
I do, but I`m one of the few...

You have a what? Why would you go and fill the tank when you have a half full tank, whoever thought up that "rule" is absolutely bonkers!!!

Better to have a dirty van full of blank 739s when you forget yours!!!
