While corona virus ravages the whole world, the most effective solution is defined as not going out on the street. In the event of going out, it is emphasized that you should stay away from public transport. While it seems to be the safest to use your own vehicle to go somewhere in compulsory situations, the cleaning of your vehicle has become a more important issue than ever.
Before the coronavirus epidemic, our special tools, which we use intensively, can turn into a serious bacterial slot due to both internal and external factors.
In this case, how do the experts list the most effective solutions to us? We suggest you to read our article on this subject.
We can list the most important measures you should know about coronavirus and vehicle cleaning as follows;
Areas we touch with
Our hand touches every point inside the vehicle. However, the door handle, the steering wheel and the tailgate are the areas that we mostly contact. Therefore, these parts should be wiped regularly with strong disinfectants.
Air conditioning maintenance and cleaning
Always replace the pollen filter of your air conditioner with a new one.
Clean the air conditioner pollen filter every 3 months. At the very beginning of the season, at least.
When you turn on the air conditioner, the windows are open for the first five minutes. Do not breathe the first air released when the air conditioner is turned on. Especially don't let children breathe!
Seats, upholstery and mats
Fabric materials such as carpets and armchairs are very convenient areas in which bacteria can live. Therefore, they are the places that contain the most viruses and bacteria in the car. Wash your carpets and seats regularly in your car.
Watch out for the glove box!
Many car owners crumple paper, gasoline plugs and food packaging that they do not use and squeeze them into a torpedo. This causes the tiny, airtight glove box to return to a full bacterial nest. Therefore, stop collecting rubbish in the glovebox. Clean this area often.
Remember that even if you take all these measures; viruses or bacteria never completely disappear!
