Cleanliness and sanitisation are very hot topics right now, but have you ever really considered the bacteria that can build up in your car?
We eat, drink, spill things and can have all sorts of clutter in the car, so perhaps it shouldn’t be that surprising to hear that research shows car interiors are full of bacteria* – up to 700 potentially harmful germs per square inch.
That’s about x12 as many germs you might find on a public toilet seat, according to a written statement released with the research. But whereas public toilets are typically cleaned on a daily basis, when was the last time you thoroughly cleaned and wiped down the surfaces of your car?
So what can you do to reduce this bacteria growth in your car?
We recommend steam cleaning your seats, mats and footwells as well as an antibacterial wipe down on all interior and exterior touch surfaces. This should be done annually, though if you have small children using the car then consider a thorough clean every 3-6 months.
If you would prefer the reassurance of a professional service to ensure the highest standards then see your local Espresso Car Wash for a full detail service.
Espresso Car Wash recommends sanitising the following touch surfaces throughout the car:
