Health and Hygiene in Cars - Through
COVID-19 and Beyond
By Grange Europe | 09 February 2021
A typical car can be a breeding ground for germs and viruses like COVID-19. In fact, an article published in 2018 posited that Your Car interior could be dirtier than a bin… Now with the ongoing threat of viruses like Covid-19, it’s more important than ever to keep your car safe hygienically clean – even if you’re just popping to the shops with someone, or going for a day out.
According to The Hygiene Company, sanitizer alone isn’t enough to keep your car safe. Instead, you should be using hand and surface antibacterial wipes made specifically for your hands or your car to kill and REMOVE all germs that could be lying dormant in this germ-breeding space.

New Threats, New Measures
Even though we’re in lockdown right now, people are still on the roads making essential trips. The germs don’t go into furlough when you do – they’re still out there. So, you’ve got to up your game if you’re going to stay safe. Masks and gloves are common practice now, but what about hand and surface wipes
“Despite the increased level of cleanliness at car washes nowadays, the need for day-to-day sanitation is as prominent as ever. The coronavirus pandemic was useful in that sense because it woke people up to a better understanding of the measures, they need to take every day. A new level of car hygiene is necessary to protect yourself and your passengers,” says The Hygiene Company’s Jonathan Bradford.

Built For the Purpose
As the UK leader in antibacterial wipes, The Hygiene Company pioneered the WipePod Surface Dispenser, which has become a standard hygiene measure in many public spaces.
“We have developed antibacterial wipes which are built from strong materials suitable for the purpose. 99.9999% of all germs are killed thanks to the incredible effectiveness and they won’t bang up your car either, so your leather interior is safe,” says Bradford, “Whether it’s inside the car or places where cars are commercially sold, prevention of infection and controlling germs is a must these days, which is why we have automatic sanitizer and wipe dispensers available to key dealerships all across the UK.”
