How to Sanitize Your Honda Vehicle

The service department at Silko Honda of Raynham wants you to be safe on our Brockton roads. That includes doing everything you can to avoid contracting the Coronavirus. If you sanitize your car properly, that will go a long way towards disease prevention. To help you, we’ve put together this handy guide below on how to sanitize your Honda vehicle, including sanitizing car components that are frequently touched, such as door handles.

How to Sanitize Your Car Against the Coronavirus

The Coronavirus is very prevalent, and even Taunton isn’t immune from its threat. Here’s how to sanitize your Honda vehicle properly:

• Wipe down any seats occupied by passengers with a disinfectant before and after each drive.
• Sanitize car components touched by you or your passengers, like door handles and audio controls, after each drive.
• Did you load your backseat with groceries? It wouldn’t hurt to wipe any surfaces touched by your cargo, as well.
• Spray a disinfectant spray in your car after giving passengers a ride, to kill any airborne contagion.

The Importance of Sanitizing Car Components

There are lots of smaller surfaces in your car you may not think about, but often get touched and therefore could harbor the Coronavirus. Here are components you don’t want to miss when sanitizing your car:

• Steering wheel
• Control buttons for navigation, air conditioning, etc.
• Paddle shift levers
• Gear selector lever
• Turn indicator stalks
• Console armrests
• Display screens
• Cupholders
• Cubbyholes
• Air conditioner vents
• Door handles

Materials to Use to Sanitize Your Car

Not every cleaning chemical or disinfectant is safe to use on car surfaces, nor are they all effective against the Coronavirus. Here’s how to sanitize your Honda vehicle with the proper chemicals:

• Use alcohol-based disinfectant wipes.
• Use soap and water for leather surfaces but rub gently.
• Do NOT use bleach or hydrogen peroxide on any car surfaces!
• Use plenty of hand sanitizer on your hands to keep you safe.
