Cleaning area between bed and cab?

The gap between the bed and cab of the '04 is much narrower than previous trucks I've owned. Has anybody found an ingenious means to wash that area? In W. Oregon, any portion of a vehicle's exterior that doesn't get washed periodically will sprout a great crop of moss/mold.

Just a thought.Iwas at a Menards home center and
in the mop isle i found a mop that will just fit.Give a
home center a try as they have a lot of things that
are not used in building a home.

how about a midget wearing a fleece jacket dunked in soapy water?

squirrels could work too. they probably have lots of squirrels up there in Oregon.

The gray squirrels with the big fluffy tails could take care of that real quick

I've always gotten under the truck and cleaned it with a swabber -rag from underneath. Same thing I did on all my Rangers too.

This is how you should do it...

Use a high-pile 100% cotton towel that is CLEAN... no shop rags.

Found a perfect soft brush on Autobarn.com. I got it to clean the rims but it also works between the cab and bed. It is like a big bottle brush.
