I bought a separate gray rug as part of the floor and living-space supplies for the van.
The featured Amazon option is Camco Charcoal-Stripe Leisure Mat.
Where it fits my build
The preparation session began with sweeping the cargo area. I followed with a mop and floor-cleaner spray, and used a towel and Simple Green on the walls.
For material that remained stuck to the floor, I used wire-brush and nylon-brush drill attachments. I dried the cleaned floor with a towel after working through those stages.

My build notes
Dust and residue had accumulated while I was repeatedly loading tools into the van and driving out to work on it. This session was about getting the cargo area ready for the next material stage.
The loose dirt, stuck-on residue and final drying were separate preparation jobs.
Alternative products
Two alternatives to compare
The Camco mat is a portable outdoor-style mat. Rubber-Cal and TUFFIOM offer rubber and PVC floor-mat formats with diamond patterns, giving a different surface from a woven rug.
Rubber-Cal Diamond-Plate Rubber Mat
This rubber sheet has a raised diamond-plate surface pattern. It provides a smaller material blank for cutting utility liners and protective surfaces.
This PVC flooring roll has a raised diamond pattern for utility and garage surfaces. It offers a different surface texture and material from coin-pattern rubber matting.
