Cleaning out your car may be a regular part of your routine, but in light of recent events, how do you safely disinfect your car without causing any unintended damage? Continue reading to learn how to effectively clean and sanitize your INFINITI.
Car Sanitation Tips
Invest in new air filters
Air filters are your first line of defense in purifying the air quality in your car. If the filters become clogged or dirty, then dust, pollen, and other pollutants will enter through the air vents and circulate throughout the cabin.
Protect your lungs by simply cleaning or replacing your air filters. This is a quick and affordable way to keep the passengers in your car breathing easy. If you’re unsure of how to find or replace your air filters, drop by our INFINITI Service Center, and we’ll take care of it for you.
Vacuum carpets and seats
Once you’ve changed the air filters, pull out the vacuum and get to work. Dirt, crumbs, and other particles become embedded in your carpets and upholstery over time and will become airborne when passengers move within the cabin.
Wear a protective dust mask or face covering to avoid inhaling any particles as you clean. Vacuuming will also help to remove any stale or musty odors you may have in your car.
Disinfect commonly touched surfaces
While you may be tempted to reach for the bleach products, don’t do it. Bleach can easily eat away at the soft surfaces of your car, especially leather or other organic surfaces. Professionals recommend disinfecting commonly touched surfaces such as the seats, door handles, and steering wheel with at least 70% concentration of isopropyl alcohol. This is the secret used by car manufacturers and car assembly plants.
Also, rather than using disposable paper towels as you would most household surfaces, use a clean, soft terry cloth instead. Paper towels are much more abrasive than we realize and can cause unintended damage to your car.
