How to Deep Clean and Disinfect a Car 

While buying cleaners that were specifically made for cars is nice, it isn’t entirely necessary. A lot of your at-home cleaners can do the job really well. Anything that has alcohol in it, even simple rubbing alcohol, will do a great job of disinfecting your car. Make sure you give the solution a bit of time to work before drying it off, this gives it time to kill any bugs or germs.

If you have leather seats, then we recommend that you don’t use an alcohol-based cleaner as it will dry out the seats. When you are cleaning make sure to thoroughly clean any high-touch areas like the steering wheel or radio controls. Taking care of any area that you frequently interact with is always a good idea when you are cleaning your car.
