Around Toronto, people are taking extra steps to ensure their safety from germs. If you’re wondering how you can sanitize your vehicle and stay in good health, consider these car sanitation tips from Avenue Nissan.
What Should I Use?
To get your vehicle spic and span, you need the right tools. Here are several to keep on hand:
- Microfibre or soft cloth: Wipe down your vehicle’s hard surfaces with a cloth that has been dampened with soap and water, then dry it with a clean dry cloth.
- Isopropyl Alcohol: To sanitize your Nissan, clean interior surfaces with solutions that contain at least 70 percent alcohol.
- Leather conditioner: While leather and leather-like materials have a protective coating, you might not want to use an alcohol-based solution on them. Instead, wipe them down with soap and warm water, then follow up by using a good leather conditioner.
- Avoid these: You should avoid using bleach, hydrogen peroxide, benzene, thinners, or other abrasive cleaners. Also, don’t use ammonia-based cleaners on the infotainment screen.
Where Should I Clean?
Pay special attention to the following places in your vehicle:
- Steering wheel
- Key and remote fob
- Both sides of your exterior door handles and the interior door handles
- Trunk levers
- Start button if your Nissan has one
- Rearview mirror
- HVAC vents
