You should use some precautions to lower the risk of corona virus spread while driving. You should take care of your family's good health, so cleaning or disinfecting your car is important. Here are some tips to disinfect your four-wheeler during the time of corona virus outbreak.
• Clean your four-wheeler:
Clean your cars inside surfaces by scrubbing using soapy water or any cleaning solution available and don’t forget to use the disinfector. Cleaning with soapy water is important before using disinfector as it helps clean dirt and stubborn germs.
• Use sanitizer:
Always keep a sanitizer with you and use it on regular intervals or when you touch something that probably can contain virus.
• Recognise and disinfect the areas expose to virus:
Disinfecting the exposed surface and areas like hand break knob, gear knob, mirror, stereo control, door handles, dashboard, seat is important. Isopropyl alcohol based disinfectant is considered as the safe option for cleaning the internal surfaces of a car.
• Clean leather surfaces with soapy water:
Isopropyl alcohol can be problematic on leather surfaces, so use warm soapy liquid for leather surfaces. Do not use too much of liquid, just gently clean the surface. You should avoid hard rubbing and try to use soft cloth for preventing any scratch or harm to surface.
• Different surfaces may require different cleaners:
You should know that different materials/surfaces may need different cleaners, so choose the right cleaning product. You should avoid using bleach or peroxide cleaner as it may damage plastic surfaces of your vehicle or discolour them.
• Limited water usage:
You should not waste too much water in cleaning your car as using water around some controls, stereo and electronic devices may be dangerous, so be safe.
• Travel alone:
You should travel along during this virus spread. You should park your car on the safe place and then clean the touch points too and wash your hands.
You should consider these factors to reduce the risk of spreading corona virus in your car.
