How do you clean the inside of the bus? Where I work we have been cleaning the bus with a hose. I don't like it I think it has alot to do with the rotting out floor problems.......

We are not allowed to use a hose because of what you just mentioned. The water gets under the rubber and into the floor material causing rot over time.

Personally I use a wet mop with a wringer (on the side of a bucket) to wring out the water. I like to use hot water with turtle wax car wash (or you could use a lemon disinfectant I've used both, but not together!). I have also heard that "Mop & Glo" works well at keeping a shine.

Just make sure you sweep the bus out good before you begin.

Hose/Power Washer inside bus = No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Warranty void, don't ask.

Mop only!
