Vehicle Sanitization Tips to Protect Your Health

Regularly cleaning the interior of your car is a great way to prevent the spread of viruses and other nasty things. Follow these vehicle sanitization tips to protect yourself and your passengers as you travel.
 
Collect your cleaning products
 
Prepare by gathering a few cleaning products that are right for your car. Disinfectant wipes or soap and water can be used on most hard surfaces. For upholstery and soft surfaces, avoid bleach-based products and make sure the shampoo, spray, or other cleaner that you’re using won’t harm the fabric or leather. Touch screens and other surfaces with electronic components can be cleaned with an alcohol-based cleaner and a microfibre cloth.
 
Focus on frequently touched areas
 
When you clean, start by focusing on the areas of your vehicle that are touched most frequently or are most likely to be in the path of a cough or sneeze. Your car’s control buttons, door handles, touch screens, steering wheel, shift knob, and seat belt latches are especially important to sanitize. Make sure to cover other areas, too, like the console, cup holders, door panels, and window interiors. If you carry young passengers, you’ll also want to sanitize any car seats, toys, or rear-seat entertainment interfaces.
 
Maintain cleanliness
 
Your car’s first thorough sanitization is just the beginning. To keep your vehicle’s interior clean, make a habit of keeping hand sanitizer and disinfecting wipes on hand. Sanitize your hands before and after each trip, and disinfect any surfaces you and your passengers touch regularly.
