It’s the season for colds and flues. You try and take precautions by making sure everyone washes their hands and taking the time to disinfect common household surfaces, but what about your car.
You use your vehicle, you drive it just about every day, chauffeuring the kids to and from school, driving to work, not to mention all those weekend activities and who can’t help but eat and drink in our car. If you’re like me and over 80% of dog owners who take their best friend in the car with them, there is probably more germs and bacteria festering in your car than you think.
Is Your Car Making You Sick?
Our hot afternoon and cool evenings make the interior of a vehicle the perfect breeding ground for germs. You would be surprised how much dirt, grime, and germs are left behind on a seat belt. School and work germs, sweat and moisture from our hands, and just about anything sticky finds its way onto our hands and transferred to the seat belt. It makes you wonder when was the last time you washed your seatbelt?
“Don’t let that squeaky clean look deceive you. Hitching on for a ride can be all sorts of bacteria, mold, viruses and dust mites. This can really make a difference during the flu and allergy seasons,” USA Today.
