The coronavirus, or COVID-19, swiftly made its way across the country. Businesses had to either shut down or completely rethink their models. During this time, there has been a larger emphasis on washing hands and keeping places sanitized.

In the brief guide below, we will walk you through how to thoroughly disinfect the interior of your vehicle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text alignwide has-media-on-the-right is-stacked-on-mobile\"><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"768\" height=\"500\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn-ds.com\/blogs-media\/sites\/372\/2020\/06\/20115146\/cleaningsupplies_o.jpg\" alt=\"Various car cleaning supplies\" class=\"wp-image-3595 size-full\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn-ds.com\/blogs-media\/sites\/372\/2020\/06\/20115146\/cleaningsupplies_o.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn-ds.com\/blogs-media\/sites\/372\/2020\/06\/20115146\/cleaningsupplies_o-300x195.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<h3>What products can I use to clean the interior of my vehicle?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>When you think of strong cleaning products, what immediately jumps into your head? If you said bleach or hydrogen peroxide, you are in the same boat as us. However, these products should not be used inside of your vehicle. They are too harsh and will cause damage. Instead, check out the household cleaners that you currently have. If any of them contain at least 70% alcohol, they will do the job perfectly! In addition, if any of the cleaners contain ammonia, do not use them on the screen inside of your vehicle. Ammonia will cause the screen to warp.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, if you look at your cleaners and none of them contain 70% alcohol, you have a second option. It is soap and water. If this is the route that you decide to take, you need to find the fine line between scrubbing hard and getting the material clean, and not soaking the cushion so much that it later has a musty smell.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.chrisauffenberg.com\/blog\/how-to-purchase-a-new-vehicle-during-a-pandemic\/\" class=\"button\" style=\"background-color: #2D96CD; border: none; color: white; padding: 7px 30px 6px; text-align: center; text-decoration: none; display: inline-block; font-family: roboto condensed; font-size: 15px; margin: 0px; cursor: pointer; width: 100%;\" onmouseover=\"this.style.backgroundColor='#3B3B3B'\" onmouseout=\"this.style.backgroundColor='#2D96CD\">How to purchase a new vehicle during a pandemic\n<\/a>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text alignwide is-stacked-on-mobile\"><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"768\" height=\"500\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn-ds.com\/blogs-media\/sites\/372\/2020\/06\/20114809\/cleaning-car-seats_b.jpg\" alt=\"Person cleaning the passengers seat inside a car\" class=\"wp-image-3594 size-full\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn-ds.com\/blogs-media\/sites\/372\/2020\/06\/20114809\/cleaning-car-seats_b.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn-ds.com\/blogs-media\/sites\/372\/2020\/06\/20114809\/cleaning-car-seats_b-300x195.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<h3>What surfaces should I disinfect inside of my vehicle?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>It would not hurt to give the entire interior of your vehicle a good clean, but you really want to focus on the high-frequency areas. Some of these include the steering wheel, turn signal, shift knob, windshield wipers, seatbelt, etc. One thing that might help is sitting in the driver\u2019s seat, and pretending like you are driving so that you can take an inventory of everything that you usually touch.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.chrisauffenberg.com\/blog\/what-colors-will-the-2021-gmc-yukon-be-available-in\/\" class=\"button\" style=\"background-color: #2D96CD; border: none; color: white; padding: 7px 30px 6px; text-align: center; text-decoration: none; display: inline-block; font-family: roboto condensed; font-size: 15px; margin: 0px; cursor: pointer; width: 100%;\" onmouseover=\"this.style.backgroundColor='#3B3B3B'\" onmouseout=\"this.style.backgroundColor='#2D96CD\">What colors will the 2021 GMC Yukon be available in?\n<\/a>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.chrisauffenberg.com\/blog\/when-will-the-2021-kia-seltos-be-available\/\" class=\"button\" style=\"background-color: #2D96CD; border: none; color: white; padding: 7px 30px 6px; text-align: center; text-decoration: none; display: inline-block; font-family: roboto condensed; font-size: 15px; margin: 0px; cursor: pointer; width: 100%;\" onmouseover=\"this.style.backgroundColor='#3B3B3B'\" onmouseout=\"this.style.backgroundColor='#2D96CD\">When will the 2021 Kia Seltos be available?\n<\/a>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How to thoroughly disinfect the interior of your vehicle In March, life as we knew it completely changed.
