The Germiest spot in the car, is not the steering wheel. According to a recent on line survey of 1300 US adults, conducted by Cloroxpro, comprised of baby boomers, 65% and Genxers, 67%, were most likely to think that the steering wheel was the germiest spot in their cars, says the Best and Most Thorough Residential House Cleaning and Maid Service in Glencoe, IL., Dialamaidusa. After the steering wheel, the most people assumed that the driver’s side door handle would be also loaded with bacteria.
That means most of the adults surveyed assumed that the areas of the car interior we touch most often will be germiest. A Swab test for bacteria, yeast, and mold revealed some very different results.
The # 1 germiest spot measured by bacteria, yeast and mold in the car is the floor mat on the driver’s side. Fortunately, we don’t touch this area too often. But when we accidentally drop our keys, follow these steps to keep your floor mats fresh. Remove the mats and shake them out, then sprinkle with baking soda. Let the baking soda sit for ½ hour before vacuuming it up, says the Most thorough Residential House Cleaning and Maid Service in Glencoe, IL., Dialamaidusa.
After the floor mats, the trunk of the car showed the highest concentration of germs. Not only do we store camping gear and dirty shoes in the back of the car, but we transport birthday cake and pot luck dishes in our trunks. So, start by vacuuming up any dirt or debris. If the trunk has a removable carpet pad, take it our and sprinkle the baking soda on it. Let it sit for ½ hour then vacuum it up. This will clean the trunk well. However, it’s a good idea to invest in a mat you can set down when transporting food in the truck, says the Best Residential House Cleaning and Maid Service in Glencoe, IL., Dialamaidusa.
Grimy, spilled coffee, food crumbs, and collected dirt all collect in the front seat cup holder. This is the 3rd germiest spot in the car. The solution is to keep a pack of travel disinfecting wipes in the center console so you can give the cup holders a quick wipe down, whenever they get gross and dirty, says the premier Residential House Cleaning and Maid service in Glencoe, IL., Dialamaidusa.
The 4th germiest spot in the car is the dashboard air vent. Turn off the AC and dust the vents, using a foam paintbrush or use a can of compressed air can. Run a disinfecting wipe over the vents, being careful not to get any liquid inside the vents, or mist lightly with an aerosol disinfecting spray, says the Best Residential House Cleaning and Maid Service in Glencoe, IL., Dialamaidusa.
