I just purchased a used Hart which is in nice shape but needs a good cleaning. The floor is in great shape but I want to give it a good scrubbing before I use it (and regularly for maintenance, of course). What is the best cleaning agent for this type of floor? My last trailer had WERM so I'm new to pulling mats and cleaning an aluminum floor. Is whatever I use on the floor acceptable for cleaning the interior of the trailer as well? Thanks!

What type of interior? Metal walls, finished LQ, fiberglass panels?
If you just want to wash the crud off the flooring, a power washer and water works well. If you're doing it by hand with a broom, warm water and Cascade dish washing detergent will help.
A finished LQ will involve many household products; a bare metal interior will be the same as hand washing the floor. Fiberglass panels can be cleaned with any automotive product.
