The world is suffering from Coronavirus in recent times. To overcome the pandemic, the government has taken serious effective steps to curb the virus. Social distancing and frequent sanitization are considered mandatory to keep oneself safe and there come lesser chances of catching the virus. When we talk about humans, we distance ourselves; put our masks on to prevent the disease. When we talk about things, we need to sanitize them before each use.

In a discussion with people regarding car sanitization in Dubai, it is believed that some people have the view that a car is less prone to get contaminated as it is an enclosed space. During the pandemic, even when there was a complete lockdown, the essential services’ workers had to go out to deliver their services in some of the other vehicles that might have trapped germs or viruses. The vehicles that are travelled into may trap the virus, the reason being they need to be sanitized before and after their use.

However, while cleaning and disinfecting your car keeping in mind the coronavirus, there are tips to be always kept in mind. Also, you need to have a strategy for disinfecting your car’s interior as well as exterior so that every part is properly sanitized.

Target specific areas to be disinfected-

When you start disinfecting your car, you need to target those areas first that are prone to catch more of the germs such as the steering wheels, exterior door handles, the infotainment screens, ignition, keys, power button, gear selector, seat belt and buckles, etc. You need to make sure that you clean these high touched areas with a car interior cleaner. There is no need to worry even if you do not have a car cleaner. You may use an ammonia-based solution by mixing water and a glass and window cleaner in equal ratios.

Remove and eliminate all the extras-

Before targeting the specific areas, all that you need to do is declutter your car’s interior as suggested by various experts of car service in Dubai. You may remove all the extra accessories by sterilizing them such as soft toys, books, accessories, plastic holders, and others that are usually not put to frequent use. If such items are present, you never know when the contamination leads to spread among the other passengers. Also, you need to remember to wear disposable gloves so that you do not get in contact with the chemicals and solutions meant for cleaning and sanitizing the car.

Check over the Disinfectant Tools that are used-

On checking over various companies of car disinfection in Dubai, it is concluded that the cleaning solutions and the disinfectants should be entirely based on the target areas. You can use some soap solutions or disinfectant wipes when you have to clean hard surfaces, whereas when cleaning soft interior surfaces or vehicle’s upholstery, you should use fabric-friendly disinfectants.

When you have thoroughly cleaned, always keep in mind to wipe the surface so that the chemicals of the cleaners may not damage the surface of the car.

Brush Off the dust and dirt-

Before applying any solution or a disinfectant, it is important to brush and wipe off the dirt that is accumulated in the front and rear ends of the car. It is advised to always wipe it with a lint-free cloth and brush off the dirt and then proceed with applying disinfectants to sanitize the car and prevent it from coronavirus. For a conventional cleaning process, soap solutions are considered ideal. It is observed that the detergent solutions or the ones having alcohol tend to damage the car’s interior or the plastics and obstruct the car maintenance, therefore, should not be preferred, as released by various studies conducted by companies of car maintenance in Dubai.

During this pandemic, we all need to play our part and stay safe and control the outspread of the virus. You need to always keep in mind the main steps for disinfecting your car so that it can be safe for use to everyone.
