Get ready to rub
Use disinfectant wipes or soapy water to clean hard surfaces throughout the cabin. The soap does not have to be antibacterial : hand soap or dishwashing detergent work against the virus. While it's a good idea to completely clean your cabin, it's easy to miss certain areas. Remember to clean the outside door handles. And to guide your efforts to clean the cabin, think about where the drops would fall if you sneezed or coughed. Does your head turn to the side? Then think a little more about cleaning the area around the driver's side window or center console. Also consider where to think about where droplets of saliva and mucus would fall if your passengers sneezed and coughed.
High contact areas.
Be sure to clean the high contact areas throughout the cabin. These include the infotainment touchscreen, climate and audio controls, steering wheel, gear knob, turn signals and all power windows, mirror and lock buttons, as well as your keys or the on / off switch. Use disinfectant wipes to avoid damaging the electronics of some of these items. Here is a list of products approved by the EPA that are effective against COVID-19.
Don't forget the fabrics
Don't neglect soft surfaces like carpets, seats and roof when cleaning your car. Remember to clean the back of your seats. If you have children, your little ones can sneeze and cough with ruthless devotion and spray germs on the back of the front or second row of seats.
The CDC recommends the use of a cleaner suitable for the substance in question. In other words, you can use a leather cleaner, car mat, or furniture shampoo to disinfect these surfaces. However, if you don't have them on hand, there are plenty of non-bleaching sprays and wipes that can be used in your car. As always, try a new cleaner in a small, inconspicuous area before cleaning the rest of the interior of your car. Here is a list of products that can be used on soft surfaces, as recommended by the American Chemistry Council and the Center for Biocide Chemistry . Just avoid using chlorine-based cleaners. If you wash your leather seats with a cleaner without leather, you must then condition them to avoid cracks.
Think of the children
If you have children, pay attention to the surfaces that your children use regularly. Take the time to wash items such as car seats, car blankets, a rear entertainment system, air conditioners or remote controls, as well as books or toys that your children have in the car. Consult the cuddly toy care instructions, but many can take a safe walk in the washing machine if you use a soft fit. Hard plastic toys, on the other hand, can be dipped in a diluted bleaching solution. The CDC recommends mixing four tablespoons of bleach in one liter of water or five tablespoons of bleach in a gallon. Never mix chlorine-based cleaners with ammonia-based cleaners.
Prevent reinfection
Keep yourself and your car clean by wearing hand disinfectant and disinfectant wipes. Make sure you have bought a hand sanitizer that contains at least 60% alcohol and regularly disinfect the steering wheel, gear lever, and any other surfaces that you regularly put your hands on.

Glove
Disposable gloves can protect your hands from strong cleaning chemicals. However, disinfecting your car can prevent viruses from spreading. They are especially useful for collecting used fabrics that your children left behind. After you've done the dirty work, throw the gloves away from your hands, turning them over. The CDC recommends washing your hands immediately after taking off your gloves. Also avoid reusable gloves. You can preserve the virus and transfer it to other surfaces.
These are just a few ways to protect yourself and your family from this contagious virus. Stay safe!
