Car Cleaning and Sanitizing

According to what is prescribed by
the health authorities in each country,
after using the car it is necessary to
clean all surfaces that may have been
touched by other people (example:
steering wheel, transmission lever , air
vents, seat belts, keys, handles, etc.).
To carry out this operation safely and
correctly, trying to avoid possible
damage to the internal surfaces of the
car, here are some useful tips:
• perform the operation if possible
outdoors or in any case in a
sufficiently ventilated area;
• wear all personal safety devices:
gloves, mask and goggles using new
or sanitized devices;
• clean the surfaces with a microfibre
cloth moistened with an alcoholic
sanitizing solution, avoiding to apply
or spray said solution directly on
the surface. The use of hydrogen
peroxide, bleach and amuchin is not
recommended as they can develop
too aggressive action on leather and
plastic;
• check the air conditioning filter and
sanitize the vents that circulate the
air in the passenger compartment;
• vacuum the dust from the upholstery
and the mats, or wash them with the
appropriate detergent products.
A good habit to take, is to always have
clean hands, both before and after
driving, as it will help to keep the
steering wheel and other surfaces
more frequently touched inside
cleaner car.
