Many car owners will be very motivated to do cleaning projects when the exterior of their cars is dirty, but may ignore the interior when it is dirty.
The bacteria in the interior may be so many that you can't imagine!
Many parts of the interior are in direct contact with the human body and are highly contaminated with bacteria, such as seats, steering wheels, seat belts, door handles, carpets, and floor mats.
The sweat stains on our body and hands, the dust and dirt on our clothes, the smoke stains left by smoking, the food residue left by eating, and the water stains are all very easy to make the interior dirty and accumulate bacteria, mites, etc. We can't see them with our naked eyes, but that doesn't mean they don't exist. Over time, they will accumulate more and more, producing odors and easily endangering human health.
According to foreign research analysis, there are more than 700 kinds of bacteria on average in each car, which is dozens of times dirtier than a toilet! There are also more than ten kinds of common bacteria, such as Staphylococcus aureus, mold, pneumococcus, Escherichia coli and other germs that can cause pneumonia, tonsillitis and other diseases. They are invisible health killers! It is shocking!
Imagine sitting in a car every day, surrounded by bacteria and mites, and how disgusting it is to breathe even one breath of air. Especially during the change of seasons from autumn to winter, when the body's resistance is relatively weak, it is easy to become the target of some pathogenic bacteria, which enter your respiratory tract through the mouth and nose.
Therefore, you can only treat the symptoms but not the root cause by wiping the interior with a towel when it gets dirty. Although some visible dirt on the surface can be wiped off, bacteria and mites that have grown inside are still firmly rooted.
The correct approach is to clean the interior regularly 2-3 times a year, using professional interior cleaning agents to thoroughly remove dirt, and also using atomized sterilization to thoroughly disinfect the interior. In addition, it is particularly important to perform maintenance after washing.
Why do you need to do maintenance after cleaning the interior?
We know that after cleaning, people's skin tends to dry and needs to be maintained with skin care products. The interior is also the same. After long-term use, the interior is easily affected by high temperatures, ultraviolet rays, and other factors. In autumn, the climate is dry, and if not properly protected, it is easy to cause problems such as aging, fading, and even cracking.
After cleaning the interior, it is recommended to use a professional interior leather maintenance cream for polishing and curing, restoring the glossiness of the interior surface, making the interior look newer and brighter. At the same time, a protective film is formed on the interior surface to provide protection against various problems caused by high temperature, oxidation, or ultraviolet rays, extending the service life.
Other precautions for interior cleaning!
What are the precautions during the interior cleaning process?
Neutral detergent should be used for cleaning the interior
When cleaning the interior, it is important to use a professional neutral detergent. Do not use washing powder, detergent or other highly corrosive detergents, as long-term use can corrode the leather, causing it to lose its original luster, harden, and easily crack. There are also chemical residues that can harm human health and cause secondary pollution. The surface is used to wash the interior, but it actually damages the interior.
The proper tools should be used for cleaning the interior
When cleaning the interior, do not use a hard nylon brush or nano-sponge brush, which is efficient but can greatly damage the leather on the seats.
It is recommended to use a softer horsehair brush for cleaning without damaging the interior.
For some interior side seams where it is difficult to reach with your hands, you can use a detail brush to scrub and thoroughly clean the dirt in the gap, leaving no dead ends.
For dirty areas such as the carpet and velvet floor mats in the car, you can use a tornado vacuum cleaning gun to clean them. The strong airflow of this gun can disperse some hidden dust and dirt inside, allowing it to change from a firmly adhered state to a detached state, which makes it easier to suction out the dust and dirt later.
