Keep Your Car's Interior Spotless and Allergen-Free
Summary
You might think your car or truck is clean, but many drivers unknowingly carry around hidden dirt and allergens. Keeping your vehicle's interior clean is especially crucial for those with allergies.
Article
While maintaining cleanliness in kitchens, hotels, and restaurants is often emphasized, many overlook the importance of a clean vehicle interior. This is particularly significant given the amount of time we spend in our vehicles. According to a Yankelovich Monitor Study, the average American spends about 2.5 hours a day driving, which totals nearly 38 days a year.
Allergens such as pollen, hair, and dander from pets, along with road dust, soot, pesticides, and bacteria, accumulate inside vehicles. These particles can enter through ventilation ducts or open windows and doors. As Peter Lord, Executive Director of GM Service Operations, points out, "Neglecting interior cleanliness can lead to health and sanitary concerns."
Easy Tips for a Cleaner Car Interior
1. Regularly Wipe Down Surfaces: Use disinfectant to clean the steering wheel, instrument panel, door handles, and other high-touch areas. Make it a habit to clean the interior whenever you wash the exterior.
2. Vacuum Routinely: Keep your seats, carpets, and floor mats free from dust and debris by vacuuming them regularly.
3. Replace the Cabin Air Filter: Check your vehicle’s owner manual for recommendations on when to replace the cabin air filter. If you frequent high-traffic or dusty areas, consider changing it more often. The GM Goodwrench Cabin Air Filter effectively blocks most allergens.
4. Clean the Air-Conditioning System: Request your technician to clean and disinfect the air-conditioning system with a Cooling-Coil Coating. This product eliminates odors and inhibits the growth of odor-causing microorganisms.
Beyond Interior Cleaning
Routine checks and replacements of service items like air filters, oil changes, fluids, brakes, windshield wipers, and air conditioners are essential. For added peace of mind, visit a GM dealership for a multipoint vehicle inspection. These inspections help diagnose potential issues, ensuring your vehicle runs better, lasts longer, and retains its value.
What is a Multipoint Vehicle Inspection?
These inspections offer comprehensive diagnostic testing and service capabilities. Dealerships provide the following inspection services:
- Transmission and Drive Components: Includes the drive shaft and u-joints.
- Cooling System: Checks radiator, heater, and air-conditioning hoses.
- Lighting: Examines interior lights, exterior lamps, brake lamps, turn signals, and hazard-warning lights.
- Exhaust System: Ensures this system is functioning correctly.
- Engine Air Cleaner Filter: Inspects and recommends replacements as needed.
- Suspension and Steering: Evaluates system components for wear and tear.
