There's a joke about going on vacation: "You have to work twice as hard the week before and the week after a vacation in order to go on vacation." I won't go into all the work I did to prep for this family trip, but I can tell you how much work it took to restore our long-term Jeep Commander
to "non-family-vacation" condition. You can probably already imagine what a family of four, living in a car for 7,000-plus miles, will do to it, but if not I've included one image from the second row area. I spent about an hour going through the car's interior with all the various attachments on our Hoover vacuum. Then I spent another 30 minutes going through the interior with paper towels dipped in hot water...
It's good to be back -- I can finally relax again.

haha. I can totally sympathize. We took a trip home to visit family last week. We didn't exactly live in the new Avalanche, but spent a heckuva lot more time in it than we normally would be in a vehicle on any given day. I probably should mention that the interior is GMs in new ebony color scheme (saweet!!). So I spent about three hours cleaning inside and out when we got back on Sunday!
