Has anyone sprayed down their Frunk? I don't use mine, but had to put some washer fluid in the reservoir and noticed how dirty it is under the hood, just trying to figure out the best way to clean it. Any thought?

I'd use a wet rag.

Might want to ask the people who use it to hold all the shrimp and wings how they keep it from getting too funky ?
Seriously, I’d suggest either a general purpose cleaner and paper towels, followed by thorough rinsing with clear water, or gentle detergent and a sponge followed by rinsing with clear water. It’s designed to drain.

It never get’s funky. Occassionally Frunky maybe. But never funky.

Every once and a while when I wash the car, I wash the frunk at the same time. I also wash it any time I've grunged it up with saltwater, mud, wing sauce, or cocktail sauce. I just use the same wash bucket and rags I use for the car but wash the frunk last (after the paint).

Over the summer the frunk was the perfect place to store anything that came in contact with sand, minus the kids unfortunately.

Once we got back to the house I took each non-human item out, sprayed it down with the hose, then used the hose to rinse out the frunk until the sand and water was completely drained out.

The frunk is one of the best, most practical features I've ever had in a car.

Thanks for the info, sounds easy enough.

A lot of fine silt and road debris accumulates on the outer portion of the seal to the frunk compartment.

As other's mentioned using a wet rag easily removes it. Every weekend when I wash the car I pop the frunk and wipe it down.

I wouldn't want anyone to ask to see the junk in my frunk and have it be dirty.

Just don't show the the junk in your trunks because that would be dirty.

A neighbor of mine rinses the frunk with a hose weekly. Apparently he uses the frunk as a cooler quite often. He's not had any issues with hosing down the frunk.
