It is not sufficient to keep the houses clean and disinfected, also do not forget your vehicles, two-wheelers or four-wheelers. Your vehicle must have travelled multiple places multiple times and carried multiple people, so the maximum number of germs and other droplet-based viruses can be found in your vehicle itself.
With the outburst of any germs and virus, you should:
- Not touch any part of your car with the naked hand
- Not put the infected hand to your eyes, nose or mouth
- Not take your children or elder people near the car
- Avail for Germ Shield protection for your vehicle that gives 99.99% germ kill protection up to 3 months against SARS and other viruses

Disinfecting Wipes:
Carrying disinfecting wipes with you will help not only to disinfect your car’s interior surfaces regularly, but also to tackle mess in the car quickly. All types of wipes may not be suitable for your car, so first check the wipes by using it in an inconspicuous spot of your car interior and then start using all over.

Car spray is basically car AC disinfectant spray, that is used to clean and disinfect air conditioner. This is highly essential as it will prevent air conditioner sickness and skin diseases. It will also save plenty of fuel and electricity and protect the compressor to prolong its service life.
As a precautionary measure, you need to store the car spray in a cool and dry place in the car, so that it is not exposed to sunlight or extreme temperature more than 50 C. Even while using the car spray do not opt for prolonged spraying, instead, go for short pressures and ventilate well after using the spray, to avoid any further consequences.
Hand Sanitizer:
Hand sanitizer is one more mandatory element that you should carry along with you while you are in a car. But it may not be a good idea to keep the sanitizer bottle inside the car, as the plastic bottle can heat up and warp, resulting in a malformed bottle and or even leakage. But you can take some measures like keeping sanitizer in a glass bottle or preserving it in a cool shady place in the car. Otherwise, each time you get into the car carry one hand sanitizer along with you.

By the time, you should be ready with your second microfiber cloth soaked in clean water to rinse the washed areas. It will leave moisture on the surface of your car.
Handheld Vacuum Cleaner:
People tend to use the same big vacuum clean that are used at home, to clean the car. But a big vacuum cleaner may not have the flexibility to reach the narrow crevices of your car’s interior. It will be far better to use a high powered wet/dry handy handheld vacuum cleaner with an extendable hose. These handheld vacuum cleaners not only have high suction quality but also are sturdier.
