2 Answers
The pros and cons of fogging disinfection for cars are as follows: Advantages of fogging disinfection: It can purify the air inside the car, eliminate odors, and is safe, environmentally friendly, radiation-free, with strong penetration, fast conduction, and no dead corners. Disadvantages of fogging disinfection: Due to the complexity of the operation, the long disinfection time, and severe interior pollution, the effectiveness is not ideal. Additionally, the steam may adversely affect the car's electronic systems, the air purification process is slow, and sterilization is incomplete. Below are the effects of different fogging disinfection methods: Ozone disinfection: Only temporarily removes odors and does not substantially disinfect or sterilize. Steam disinfection: Can achieve some sterilization, disinfection, and odor removal. However, after steaming, electronic components in the car are prone to malfunction. Photocatalytic disinfection: Primarily targets new cars, focusing on removing odors from seats and genuine leather. It is ineffective without sunlight exposure after application. A+ fogging sterilization: Comprehensively removes harmful organisms and bacteria from all corners and gaps inside the car, improving the air quality of the interior.
I recently had a fogging disinfection treatment for my car, and the pros and cons are quite noticeable. The benefits are that it thoroughly sterilizes and disinfects, covering every corner of the car, including the air vents and seat crevices, which is especially reassuring during the pandemic, preventing odors and bacterial transmission. After the treatment, the car smells much fresher, which is great for people with sensitive noses. However, there are also downsides: the cost is relatively high, costing several hundred yuan per session, making it not an everyday necessity. Chemical residues might irritate the skin or respiratory system—I felt a bit dry for a few days afterward and had to ventilate the car for a long time. Additionally, frequent fogging treatments could damage interior materials, such as making plastic parts brittle or causing leather seats to age. Overall, it's highly targeted but requires careful selection of reputable shops and professional products.
