How To Protect Your Vehicle From Germs

We spend so much time in our vehicles, it is no wonder they can harbor germs and that’s why we must be vigilant in cleaning high touch areas. Customizing your wheels with top-end brands may make your vehicle look good on the outside, but taking the proper sanitation initiatives will help protect you while inside your vehicle. There is a lot that auto repair shops and vehicle owners can do together to prevent the spread of germs. With such a large amount of accessories on a vehicle, it’s recommended that you consider all of them when sanitizing for the safety of your family and loved ones. Going the extra mile now and in the future will ensure that you have done all you can to protect from germs. 

 

Tips for Sanitizing High Touch Areas of Your Vehicle

 

  • Sanitize areas that are touched most by your hands in the interior of the vehicle
  • Be sure to sanitize the radio, cup holders, glove box, and seatbelts
  • Regularly wipe down your dashboard, sun visors, and all buttons
  • Take a close look to find what spots look the dirtiest or that have debris
  • Wring out your rag completely before sanitizing to avoid moisture buildup
  • Consider any high tough points for passengers and children
  • If you are someone who uses their trunk often to store groceries, workout clothes, recreational gear or other items, be sure to sanitize

 

As you make your way through sanitizing the vehicle, be sure to get all areas of your armrest and center console. Before moving down the rear, give the door panels a good wipe down as well. Keep in mind that the foundation of cleaning has always been the adequate use of soap and water. This task tends to be forgotten about by many vehicle owners but it is imperative now that we are in a pandemic. Many of us clean the steering wheel, dirty door handle, interior carpet, and windshield, but we must not forget about all locations listed above. It may take a bit more time than your routine car cleanse, but it will make all the difference in ensuring you and your passenger’s safety.
