How to Disinfect and Sterilize Inside a Car?

[LeRylee]

To use, you need a car-specific disinfectant that can quickly generate a large amount of ozone. When it reaches the specified concentration, disinfection and sterilization can be completed rapidly. After spraying cleaning agents inside the car, use high-temperature steam for disinfection. The released ions are very limited, making the air purification process inside the car very slow and the sterilization incomplete.

I personally prefer using medical alcohol and disinfectant wipes for car interior cleaning. First, I put on gloves and spray alcohol on high-touch areas like AC vents, steering wheel, and door handles, letting it sit for 5 minutes before wiping repeatedly with disinfectant wipes. For seats, extra care is needed - I use specialized leather disinfectant for genuine leather, while fabric seats get sanitized with high-temperature steam from a garment steamer. In summer, keeping a bottle of disinfectant spray in the trunk proves very practical for quickly sanitizing newly delivered packages. Finally, remember to ventilate by opening doors for half an hour, otherwise the lingering alcohol smell can be quite strong. Doing this thorough cleaning monthly can reduce bacterial colonies by 70-80% - families with children should be even more diligent.
