How to clean your car
Some cleaning products are not suitable to use in your vehicle. For example, bleach will kill the germs, but it will also eat away the materials in your vehicle. Hydrogen peroxide will also destroy the vinyl and plastic in your car leaving you with a clean but damaged car. These chemicals are also nasty for you to breathe in for an extended period, this can be bad when trying to clean your car a few times a day.
The best things you can use are alcohol wipes and let them sit and kill the germs for a few moments. Alcohol will kill all the bacteria, clean the inside of your car without harming it. When you go out and come home, you should try to clean your car and wash your hands to help prevent the spread of the virus.
Soap and water may seem like the old fashion way to do it, but the soap has an agent that helps kill the coronavirus. Water will wash away the dead germs. It may take a while to thoroughly clean your car, but it is one of the best ways to prevent the spread of this virus.
