The Art of the Deep Clean: Mastering the Traditional Hand Wash for Lorries, Buses, and Heavy-Duty Fleets

To manage the height of these vehicles, traditional wash bays are equipped with sturdy scaffolding, elevated platforms, or extra-long telescoping brushes. Workers must navigate these heights carefully, often wearing waterproof gear and non-slip boots to handle the constant spray of water and soap. The cleaning of a double-decker bus or a high-roof coach requires the team to work in sections, ensuring that the cleaning solution does not dry on the surface before it can be agitated and rinsed. This requires a rhythmic coordination between the person handling the pressure wand and the one wielding the oversized wash mitt or soft-bristled brush, moving from the top of the vehicle downward to prevent dirty runoff from contaminating areas that have already been addressed.
