BedTred® CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS
The mildew resistant BedTred foam will not absorb liquids. The engineered polypropylene fiber surfaces resist stains and deterioration from most acids, chemicals, gasoline and oils, etc. Therefore, by following the cleaning instructions below, your BedTred will remain serviceable for as long as you own your truck.
Cleaning your BedTred is easy:
1. A vacuum, broom, brush or compressed air can be used to remove dirt, grime, sand, mulch, etc. Due to the fact that water will not harm the BedTred, pressure washing is also an effective way to clean a soiled BedTred product. Also, the BedTred floor panel may be taken out to remove any trapped material before it can damage your truck's paint finish.
2. Although most acids will not harm the BedTred, baking soda should be applied immediately to neutralize the acid to ensure the safety of the paint on the truck.
3. To clean tougher jobs such as gasoline, oil, chemicals, acid spills or leaks from your BedTred, use a detergent soap with degreaser and water, then rinse thoroughly. This detergent soap is used in most car wash locations with pressure washing equipment. The BedTred polypropylene closed-cell foam will not absorb water and the polypropylene fiber dries in minutes.
