Guys and Girls,

Lately I have been parking beneath trees in my back yard. They drop all sorts of junk into the bed and it is making it filthy.

Question is, what's your favorite way to clean it up? Can you spray in foam and scrub it with a brush or is there a quicker strategy that works?

Not the end of the world but the bed looks dirty when the rest of the truck is shiny and new.

Thanks in advance,

Here's how I keep my bed clean

 

Would a pressure washer with a nozzle used for siding work?

 

I have Rhino liner; When I clean out my bed, I’ll spray it out with a pressure washer as best I can, foam it to loosen the dirt, then rinse, foam again, then hit it with a stiff bristle brush and rinse again and let it air dry. Comes out pretty good and only takes about 10-15 mins. But I’ll second what was said above, a bed cover is the best way to keep that clean look overall.

 

I have a tonneau cover, but I also put a Dee Zee bed mat in years ago (with my 2017 I think) F-150, and have just moved it to each F-150 since. Was under $100 and got it from eBay. Even though I have the spray in liner, I love having the bed mat as it's a rubber texture so stuff doesn't slide around as much. It's also an extra layer of protection for the bed itself.

Necessary? No, I mean we get spray in liners to protect right? But it's been outstanding at ensuring things stay in place, and the sides of the bed are still protected by the spray in. I definitely recommend the combo if interested, and after years of propane tanks, furniture, sleds, bikes, and so on, the bed mat still looks great. Incredibly easy to clean too.

Here is the Amazon link for reference:

 

well you probably don't want to park under a tree to start with...
Buy one of those 10x20 shelters and park the truck under it under the tree

 

if the junks are dry, a leaf blower will do. soap, brush + water would clean it the best, but that would be a painful process if done in regular basis. I only clean the bed once a year or after a disposal run.

 

Once or twice a year I take mine to the self car wash and brush the bed with soap. Comes out super clean

 

I have a tonneau on mine and it is a pain to get tree sap off of it.

 

An alternate to a bed cover that may be less money is a bed mat. Yes, I know it's an odd thought, but if you are considering a tonneau cover the bed mat would be much less money and keep the crud off the textured bed liner.
