So please take a moment to go over our guide and give our team a call if you have any questions or you are in need of assistance! 

Vacuum cleaner

• We recommend that you start your cleaning process with a little vacuuming. Or if you’d like to take things a step further, a steam machine will work! We also recommend grabbing those hose attachments so you can get into those hard to reach spots. Front to back, clean your entire vehicle and don’t forget to get under the floor mats too. 

Disinfect all touchpoints 

• We know there are a lot of germs floating around which means it’s crucial to disinfect all touchpoints in your vehicle. From the volume/ temperature controls to the door handles to the dashboard, if there’s a chance you touched it, clean it. We recommend using the same cleaning products you already have in your household. 

Air vents & filters 

• It’s very common that germs have made your air vents and filters their home. Which makes it very important to clean these areas of your vehicle extensively. Using the same cleaning products as above, clean out your air vents. For those hard to reach areas, q-tips work great. For your air filters, it’s a smart idea to replace them altogether.
