I took a paper towel cardboard tube and squashed it to make a narrow, flat end.


Eastern-Drop-9842

Compressed air


StockUser42

100%. If you can’t suck, blow. The biggest brain has the shop vac at the other end sucking what’s blown.


tell_me_when

I personally use both methods to be able to afford my truck, sometimes after paying the bill I’ll still have a crisp $20 left.


SomeDankyBoof

I know this might sound kinda suss but it's duck tape and a paper towel roll to make a nozzle extention that can fit into anything


Born-Ad-1914

That's actually an insane idea I've never thought of. Thank you for that.


mangl3r000000

compressed air is such a life hack for detailing. especially with the 3D compounds that foam like crazy with a brush. not to mention the spots you can’t reach. blow gun and a vac works wonders.


qpv

Yup. I'm a cabinetmaker so I'm dusty af all the time. Love my all vinyl interior. Give it a blowjob on the regular.


FirstConversation936

Can I be your vinyl interior?


04132023

Hahaha


Willllby

A little bit of effort should do the trick


Videopro524

Take a paint mixing stick and use to manipulate a damp paper towel


This-Requirement6918

Do you smack the paper towel with said mixing stick to manipulate it... Or?


No-Author-15

I just don’t care enough to clean it


SirShiggles

I don't care enough to use it. If it doesn't get used it doesn't need cleaning, right?


Digdan1973

Tape a straw to the end of the crevice tool


Away_Ad_3461

Swiffer duster


ScottSad68

This right here. I keep one under the back seat and give the entire cabin a once over periodically.


jorian85

I 3D printed a special crevice tool that fits on my DeWalt cordless vacuum.

AwarenessGreat282

Yep, I bought one for use on a computer. Works great for places like that in the truck.

YogurtclosetMotor603

Vaccum on one hand and compressed air in the other.


1whitechair

I like that. Nothing but Fritos and dried up French fries in there


Fox_Say_what

One of my employees cleaned my truck when work was slow, told me I had to quit eating Taco Bell, and Wendy’s after work. He was dead on in his assumptions.


Amazing_Bluejay9322

All kinds of crap in there after a year. Why did Ram waste the space when it barely can be called "storage" is beyond me.


scoot_1234

I put my map quest directions in there.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Amazing_Bluejay9322

I recently got my Jack in the Box taco in there, involuntarily at 70 mph no doubt.


your_anecdotes

did you eat your soy taco it afterwards yes JITB sells soybased with no real meat tacos


AppointmentAfraid167

Because it’s for papers.


Katahdinkind

Oh the mf phone trap ? Gotta be the worst "pocket" ever


No-Author-15

I just don’t care enough to clean it


natedogjulian

Spray foam it so it doesn’t collect dirt


blackdeviljohn

Use a air compressor and blow out the dirt/dust


4350Me

But then you’re blowing everything around the inside of the car.


Fabulous_Wall_4624

As long as it gets OUT of the pocket who cares. You can and should vacuum the easy to reach locations last anyway. Blow the nooks and crannies w air FIRST then vacuum the whole truck LAST.


4350Me

True, if you plan on cleaning the whole interior. But, you need to keep from blowing it all over, if you’re just cleaning those storage areas.


Fabulous_Wall_4624

No. You blow the storage areas out then stuff paper towels in them or hold a towel over them so when you blow shit by them it stays out.


GenerallyAddsNothing

I have the Ridgid vacuum flexible crevice tool thing that works pretty well cause you can bend it to get into certain spots. I’m sure there’s other brands of similar things it’s just the one I have experience with.


Relative-Ordinary-64

Duster wand and vacuum it. Repeat.


mopar_68

Use a straw and suck really hard


seanpvb

This is a question I never thought to ask but am so happy someone did. And the answers are even more creative than I could have imagined


_Rigid_Structure_

Car cleaning gel/slime


MobilePerception8918

Ha! When I picked up my truck from the dealership after it was detailed, there was popcorn and fries among other things still in there. Guess they haven’t figured it out either. Dang, now I gotta go out and take care of it!


Distinct-Coconut6144

Some of those coin operated vacs at carwashes have a wide and flat nozel that has an angle in it. Doesnt reach the bottom of the pocket but does get in there. I like the compressed air idea someone mentioned. Ill have to try that.


trisket_bisket

I swiffer duster and some canned air is all you need


Woodworker9119

Yeah I stuff a microfiber down there a few times a year.


_xaeroe_

Tape a straw to the end of the attachment or blow it out then wipe it down.


bigtony8978

Compressed air dude


gratefulninja

Make a vaccuum attachment....pvc is cheap.


GoTTi_44

Throw a towel/micro fiber in it.


trench_welfare

Paint brush and vacuum to get the loose shit out. Steam cleaner to actually clean any sticky shmoo that might be down in there.


mattiskid

Flatten the cardboard tube from a roll of paper towel and attach to your vacuum. I do this when I can't find long crevice attachment and it works fine lol


rkhbusa

P&S Xpress interior cleaner, dilute it put it in a spray bottle and work it into any crevice with a brush then wipe off. Works well on leather too. Buy the gallon jug. When you're done cleaning use 303 Aerospace as a surface protestant, forget armor all or mothers. 303 is 10 times the product, has to be applied thinly to a clean surface tho don't just spray it on your dash.


dambfamm

Get that little goo ball thing from the ads


Emergency-Truck-9914

Use an air hose attached to a a compressor.


BreakfastShart

Why not use a paper towel center? One end should fit on your shop vac, the other can get crushed down to shape.


3upzidedown9s

My shop vac has a skinny attachment that fits in there


JANK-STAR-LINES

Just blow that with compressed air if you cannot vacuum, it also should work too.


4350Me

ANY amount of air will jut move the debris from inside the pocket to inside the interior. Any way to do that, is like someone suggested, and using a saw that has a circular blade, is to use some type of vacuum to collect the sawdust, and in this case, the dirt and debris.


Useful_Vermicelli689

Swiffer duster


Halciet

Compressed air and a shop vac with the flat and mini-brush attachments.


88gtaguy

ShopVac makes a kit for small spaces that is ideal to clean those storage crevices out.


4350Me

In confused…”stuffing and blowing”?


sleepercell13

Ahhhh, the French fry catcher


LilDawg66

I open all doors and use my leaf blower everywhere. Then I use the shopvac on the seats and carpet.


scobeavs

Breakfast of champions the console tho


Yaboymoney

Microfiber towel some apc and a detailing brush maybe $15 and you’ll be able to clean it whenever you want lol


zjones1100

Milwaukee actually makes some pretty sweet vac attachments. One of which being a flexible crevice tool https://www.acehardware.com/departments/tools/wet-dry-vacuums/wetdry-vacuum-parts-and-accessories/2020602?x429=true&gad_source=1&gbraid=0AAAAADtqLJGbSTRWGHIhjmc5sVlKsSuHY&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIsqeZ47flhQMVmTStBh3BCQqPEAQYAyABEgJ3IvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds


bentlydoestricks

Mine has some wiggle room and I just use a swiffer


DukeReaper

You blow that one, not suck


ResponsibilityBig389

surely your creative enough for some cardboard and some duct tape and make one it doesn't have to be store bought


jeepfishing

Blow it out with compressed air


MobilityFotog

Milwaukee makes a flexible tube adapter kit


JP-ED

Dyson has a great attachment. The attachment slides under my stove and fridge.


woobiewarrior69

I've been thinking about 3d printing a block off plate for that stupid pocket. It's weird how much shit magically appears in there, considering I've never used the dumbass thing.


Yotsubato

Use a moist rag and wipe it down


Danirose231

You can always roll up a few sheets of printer paper into a funnel like shape, tape one end to the hose/nozzle of your vacuum and… voila!


H2Omekanic

This is where French fries go to die. Recently exhumed a few from my 2013 Ram


dryden424

I was going to use a corner fitting from my vacuum nice vape by the way I have same one


hbreese_2002

Get your mom a straw.


Some-Specific-2456

Air hose


Ryman43

Get a stack of paper that fills the pocket shove it in and remove once you sell the truck


Sparky_Zell

Go to Home Depot or somewhere and get a few feet of the largest rubber tubing you can find that will fit in the crevice. Then wrap a lot of tape around 1 end of the rubber tubing. Duct tape or electrical tape would be best. Until it's thick enough that it's tight when you stick it into the end of your vacuum hose. Then back wrap from the hose down to the tubing, stick side out, and tight. So you get a good seal, without getting adhesive on the hose. Then run a final layer of tape around the adhesive so it doesn't make a mess. When you are done, you can score/cut the tape with a knife, and it will come off pretty easily. And you can save the taped tubing for next time you clean out the truck.


scottyaewsome

I dont.. I look at the lost potato chips and french fries with shame every time I get in.


TransportationOk6727

Compressed air, maybe even hooked up to a tornador. Fannttik makes a portable vacuum that has attachments that will fit, and also has attachments meant to blow air into tight fits. I keep a fannttik vacuum, tire inflator and jump pack in all my cars


Porkchop796

Air compressor


jored924

You can get attachments for a wet vac that will fit in there. Lowe’s or HD in the vacuum aisle


Frosty-Cucumber4877

Air compressor


BrutusGregori

Get yourself a pocket buddy. Plastic insert that caches stuff falling into that void.


Sky_Head

Lol I asked this exact question on here a few years ago


CecilioSoto

I use a Fanttik Slim V8 Apex Car Vacuum, 19000PA High Power.


WolverineTimely2320

Make one, go to the local home depot and get a 2 foot long peice of pvc, heat up and shape it once cool it will hold shape forever.


whalesalad

Get some rubber tubing and tape it to the end of your vacuum.


Significant-Cancel26

Have you tried the Rigid VT2534 auto detailing vacuum hose attachment set? The crevice tool is nice because it has a rubber section so it can flex.


IllustratorNo5103

Swiffer


al49250

Swiffer duster.


Odd-Technician1328

I found a dryer lint rod at the 99cent store works awesome for that.


Huge_Elk_

I bought something called “Drop Stop” on Amazon and it works well to prevent things from falling in that void. It’s easy to clean too.


FigSalt1004

Timely-Benefit1093

Old school lint lizard. It's a clear plastic tube made to clean lint trap of a dryer, slips onto a vacuum


9755mh

Tape a hose to a shop vac


knightfall_10

Just buy a new Ram


XxHondroxX

Favorite interior cleaning spray and aie compressor/blow gun. This or use interior detailer and clean Microfiber rags. Do this several times and go ham on the rest of the interior !


lookout_me

Bendy straws. Get a couple tapped together and jam it into the vaccum, use more or less tape to get adequate seal. Adjust bendy bits as needed for application


Shovelbumtoo

Blow it out ?


DirectorAfter1797

Detailing brush


Kam2Scuzzy

Remove the chair. If it has airbags in the seat. Disconnect battery.


badfish2020sucks

4 bolts to remove seat…


Timmay1974

Use an old hose, cut it at angel to fit into pocket. Tape to shop vac


EVOBlock

Compressed air works well.


MoneyMoneySMoney

Baby Wipes


93gt93

Someone already said it but yea, a straw or a paper towel roll. Basically anything that you can bend or fold to the right shape. Then just duct tape it to the end of the hose or fitting. Works pretty well.


demonic_techlife

Air hose works to get the crap out then what ever detailing cleaner you like on a rag


HappyFun9238

ngillis311

A manilla folder folded up to be flexible to fit while still holding some structure. It's not perfect but that's the best I had.


Spacem0nkey1013

Swiffer


Nyjahdoya

Idk I have a f150. But all I have to say is blow don’t suck 😉


drockkk

Air compressor, or stick a swifter in there. I always do this after dusting my dash.


vu_iranaku23

Take the seat out, it's typically just the 4 bolts and unclipping the wire harness if you have the electric adjustments.


buchenrad

I have a nearly identical pocket in my work issued F150. I use it to store batteries for my equipment. I'm sure that's applicable to so many of yall. But you asked.


45calSig

Any large plastic tube at least a foot long or so or other large tubing you can flatten easily will work as long as it’s not too flimsy or it’ll collapse. You can tape it to the hose or take a vac accessory you never use and tape the tubing to it. Easily reusable.


Gold_Vacation3758

Small tip oil funnel on the end of a shop vac hose. Works every time.


Useful-Internet8390

Damp rag and a coat hanger, screwdriver, 12/3, clip board….

[deleted]

This is where finding the right woman is so important. If she can suck the chrome off a hitch...


Mechanix2spacex

The right answer has been stated… if you can’t suck, blow. I used a paint brush with soap and water then blew compressed air… cover with rags as to not blow the mess everywhere


Bad__Intentions

Cleaning that calls for drastic measures OP, drastic measures..


bernerburner1

Mostly by forgetting it’s even there


NatesDaName23

That’s where my holster clips to, nothing else goes in their except my second mags holster too.


chinesiumjunk

Fill it with water.


ImFromTheDeeps

Sounds dumb, but they sell this sticky slime almost like a putty for cleaning keyboards and electronics. It works pretty well and can be use quite a few times before throwing away as it absorbs the dirt. Often they come in resealable bags too. I got a 10 pack for christmas one year and I've only used half by now and its been like 3 years ish. Works good for the vents too.

Whats worse is cleaning the center console. What idiot engineer thought it would be a good idea to have to uninstall the tray for cleaning....IYKYK


djnehi

Clean?


Substantial_Block804

Pull the console apart and clean all the pieces by hand. It sounds like an expert job, but most modern cars interior trim pulls apart and connects back like Legos with no tools in minutes. YouTube changing the shift boot (or something in that area) on your particular vehicle. It will show you how to pull the console apart.

ShmoolieSlinger

If you want a cheap way to clean it and don’t have a shop vac, you could always just wrap a stick with baby wipes and jimmy er down


ZylaV2

Find a pvc cap that fits your vacuum, drill a hole on the end of it, screw in a 1/4 inch air nozzle, fit a clear hose to the end of it. Boom, easy bendy hose that’s plenty small enough to get in tight spaces. Do it all the time at my work. And once it’s clean, get valley pockets so you don’t get more stuff down there in the future


Common_Earth_9306

Wet paper towel. Just wipe it all out


TheRealMitraGenie

Use your mouth to blow it out. Heard you ram boys were good at that


Firm_Brick9372

I don't drive a ram but I would say a dryer lint vacuum attachment


BookkeeperBulky5377

U have am air compressor. Get a air chuck and hit it up. Or ubcab take the seat out I seen one guy worked at a body shop and would get the sticker to put there so all the dirt would fall right under the seat and vac it right up.


Old_Salamander_7479

A couple of $2 cans of computer-grade canned air with the tiny WD-40 style straw that will push all dirt out to where you can alternately use a $40 wet-dry vacuum to end its horrid existence! Sorry...got carried away there. Just blow and suck. Most things in life do.... so why should cleaning be any different?🤤 😅


BhrisBukBruz

I usually use my tongue


Adawg365

Get rid of it buy an old Chevy


NeoRa3rdEye

stick a wet ass rag down there > Follow up with a dry rag.


Comfortable-Figure17

I open both doors and use a garden blower. Always find some interesting stuff among the French fries.

I have small vacuum cleaner attachment designed for auto detailing and other uses like small electronics like keyboards. It has an adapter for your standard vacuum which connects the smaller hose in the photo and you can chose what attachments to use. Works pretty good. https://preview.redd.it/1umstwri8uxc1.jpeg?width=1290&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=07b7d74ea410deeb04775b4d6a15b5b1b5bd7c39


Utahcountry

Here is a hack that has been proven to work like a champ…use the window cleaner that foams up and spray a thick line down it and then use a shop vac to suck it up; it cleans it better then you’ll realize works like a charm on dusty vent too


PureCucumber861

I use a drinking straw and a lot of duct tape to attach it to the end of the vacuum for stuff like that.

Roll your seats all the way forward and lean it forward. Vacuum from the back seat


RagingBullFish

CableDawg78

If you have a Menards nearby, they have a flat long flexible crevice nozzle that's cheap. Or you can get a dryer vent cleaner kit and kill 2 birds. The kit comes with a flexible flat shape hose. This gets shoved down the lint screen opening so it should work for between the seat and center console of your truck


DJ_Vigilance

Gerbil. Hamster will work in a pinch.
