Because of Covid-19, your car can be the safest and most hygienic way to travel at the moment – as long as you follow certain rules.
Specialised service
Ozone cleaning takes between 30 and 45 minutes and could be a good idea if you have transported people who don’t live with you, or perhaps after a car diagnostics test. The parts of a car that need to be most targeted during cleaning are those you touch most often, such as the steering wheel, gear lever, buttons, and touchscreen – not to mention keys as well as door handles and locks – both inside and outside.
Doing it yourself
Gels and liquids should be used carefully, especially on leather surfaces, which can dry out and become damaged. Another useful idea, in summer as well as winter, is to clean all the air vents with a specific spray. This is particularly effective when it comes to removing bad smells caused by mould and humidity.
Use gloves at fuel stations
When filling up at fuel stations, it’s a good idea to wear the single-use gloves that are always available at diesel pumps. Keep the gloves on throughout the whole operation – from filling up to paying for the fuel – and then throw them away immediately without touching them on the outside, so that your hands are always protected.
