How to Disinfect Your Car without Doing Damage
What’s the best way to disinfect your vehicle to help stop the spread of COVID-19? The Nigeria’s National Center for Disease Control says hand-washing is crucial, but so is disinfecting surfaces, including those in your car.
It is recommended that you wear disposable gloves to clean and disinfect surfaces, and wipe down surfaces with soap and water prior to disinfection. For vehicle interiors, a soft or microfiber cloth dampened with soap and water can be used on hard surfaces.
Most common disinfectants are effective, but some are not ideal for vehicles, including bleach, hydrogen peroxide, benzene, thinners or abrasive cleaners that can damage upholstery and interiors. Alcohol-based wipes or sprays with at least 70% alcohol are effective against the coronavirus. These can be safely used in your vehicle.

Seat belt and buckle. Avoid harsh cleaners on the belt itself as they can degrade the fibers and the belt’s strength
