How to Disinfect Your Car during Corona virus?

The coronavirus has become a serious issue from the past few months. Personal vehicles are among the most frequented modes of transport, but these are also the most severely contaminated spaces that cause the virus to spread. The frequently touched surfaces such as steering wheel, door handles, shift lever, driver door armrests, and various other spaces should be cleaned thoroughly and disinfected to minimize the spread of the infection.

People use cars to avoid interaction with others while traveling, mainly the doctors who need to reach their workplaces even in the lockdown. As much staff published in concern of human health and hygiene, alongside it is also crucial to know the best vehicle disinfected.
The center for disease control and prevention (CDC) suggests wearing nonreturnable gloves for disinfecting surfaces. If you see the dirt on the surface, you can start with cleaning, and for eliminating the contaminated germs, you can use disinfectant wipes & sprays or soap & water to keep your vehicle in good condition. To clean the car or any vehicle, you need microfiber cloth damped with soap and water that you can use to scrub the hard surface.

You can clean your car with the all-purpose household product, but be careful; some of them are not ideal for the vehicle. Do not use the benzene, bleach, thinners, hydrogen peroxide, or other harsh and corrosive cleaners because these products can damage your car, interior and upholstery surface.

You can use laundry disinfectant washing powder or alcohol-based disinfectant wipes & sprays (it must contain at least 70 percent alcohol) to make effectively work against COVID-19 as per CDC recommendations as well as safe against disinfecting the vehicle also. For the advertorial, screens are the frequently touched area and it is essential to clean them with the right cleaners and disinfectants. To clean the screen surface, use disinfectant wipes & sprays or soft cloth damped with soap and water.

For the advertorial, you should not use the ammonia-based cleaner for the screen because it damages the anti-fingerprint coatings and anti-glare. 

For the regular cleaning you have to prepare the checklist, don’t forget to add the following points.

Center console and armrest
Turn signal lever
Gear selector
Steering wheel
Exterior door handles, both sides
HVAC vents
Parking brake handle, parking brake or release lever
Windshield wiper controls
Rearview mirror, back and edges
Avoid the harsh cleaner on seat belt and buckle because this will devalue the fibres and belt’s strength.
