THE STEERING WHEEL VS. THE TOILET SEAT

THE STEERING WHEEL VS. THE TOILET SEAT

6 years ago

Most bacteria can useful – even good for your body – but there are some bacteria that can be quite harmful to the human system. So, ponder this for a moment. What do you think has more bacteria resting on it’s surface – the toilet seat or the steering wheel? Consider these facts first before taking a crack at guessing. At least 42% of drivers regularly eat while driving in their cars, which means that most of those hands aren’t being washed before eating. While public toilets are usually regularly sanitized, only 33% of drivers clean the inside of their cars at least once a year and 10% HAVE NEVER cleaned their car interior. So, which do YOU think is dirtier? According to a study done at Queen Mary University in London, there are approximately 80 bacteria per square inch on a toilet seat. Gross, right? It certainly is, but not as gross the as the 700 potentially harmful bacteria that is sitting on your steering wheel. Quite a startling difference.

When you think about it, this could be part of the reason why we are sick so often. I don’t know about you, but I think this is some serious motivation to clean my car, inside and out.

We recommend using Diamond Kote Z-90 Multi-Purpose Solution sprayed on a clean cotton towel to clean and disinfect the steering wheel.  Wipe the steering wheel again with a clean water dampened cotton towel and let dry for 10 mins.

How Detailing Your Car Boosts It’s Value

7 years ago

Imagine walking into a dealership and you see two cars of the same model parked side by side. At this point, we know nothing of its mechanical function, but we can clearly see that one is filthy and looks run down and the other is sparkling clean and visibly well maintained. Which one would you gravitate towards? The clean one, right? That’s because detailing your vehicle is key to boosting it’s resale value – and we know it’s not just about proper mechanical maintenance.

Keeping the appearance of the vehicle in above average condition – inside and out – is also just as important. Giving your car a deep cleaning at least 4 times a year is recommended. That would include vacuuming, shampooing carpets, cleaning and treating the interior leather as well as the dashboard and components. Cleaning the exterior regularly and applying paint protection and a protective wax at least once per season are also key factors in safeguarding one of your largest investments. By paying attention to the shine factor of your vehicle, you may also be adding a few extra dollars in your pocket when you resell.
