Ways to Disinfect your Cars

​Disinfection is one of the most crucial steps against the coronavirus for it to stop spreading. We’re not talking about only our hands; we need to disinfect everything to be 100% safe. A study that was conducted not so long ago tested how long the virus can stay in different surfaces and materials such as glass, steel, aluminum and metal. It turns out the virus can last about two to three days on stainless steel; Five days for metal; Up to 8 hours for aluminum and a whopping 5 days for glass. These materials can be found in everyday items, especially cars. 

If you have a transportation service, when you serve different kinds of people, there’s a high chance of your car getting infected with many nasty viruses, and it’s not fun. Remember, many people touch the door handle of your car to get in and the doors and it increases the chance of contaminating it with the virus. 

Just by touching the door handle, when it’s infected, can transfer the virus onto your hand, and if you’re careless, you can transfer it inside your body via mouth, nose and eyes. Scary, right? Don’t worry, we, the Naperville Limo, are here to give you ways to disinfect any car. 

​For the most part, alcohol solutions that has 70% alcohol are effective and every interior surface of a vehicle can be disinfected using isopropyl alcohol. However, stay away from bleach since they’re gonna do a lot of damage in your car’s upholstery. The same goes for ammonia-based cleaners for car touch screen since they can damage anti-fingerprint and anti-glare coatings. 

​Using soap and water is effective enough, just wash every part vigorously since friction is can also be a part of destroying the virus. When it comes to leather, simple ivory soap and water are also recommended since too much use of alcohol can cause discoloration. 

​In summary, isopropyl alcohol, water and soap can disinfect and clean your cars with no problem. Make sure to clean every nook and cranny, especially the most used parts such as the windows, door handles, doors and seats. Wipe away and stay safe!
