Your Steering Wheel is Probably Really Dirty<\/h1>\n\n\n\n
Considering the fact that the average American is reported to spend around 17,000 minutes in their vehicles, it is no surprise that we are transmitting a plethora of germs and other contaminants from our hands to our steering wheels each time we drive. This revelation becomes more concerning when you think about how often you clean the outside of your car compared to the inside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In fact, according to a recent survey conducted by CarRentals.com, data revealed that 32% percent of the car owners surveyed only clean the inside of their car once year! The same survey showed that 12% never clean the inside of the vehicles! Needless to say, that ultimate rewards membership you have at the local car wash isn\u2019t doing your steering wheel any good.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What is on Your Steering Wheel?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Use your vehicle to run errands, going in and out of stores in between each trip? Do you like to eat and drive? Do you have kids? Or pets that like to ride along with you in your lap? Do you pump your own gas? Do you wash your hands before leaving work? What about the gym? These are all the different places and scenarios in which you are transmitting germs and bacteria to your steering wheel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The aforementioned CarRentals.com survey also revealed that the average driver\u2019s steering wheel is two times dirtier than an elevator button, six times dirtier than your touchscreen cell phone, and even four times dirtier than a public toilet. For little comparison perspective, WebMD’s \u201cGrossest\u201d List<\/a> places smart phones at the very top. Insert gulp<\/em> here. What about that gas station pump handle? Studies show that the average gas pump handle is more than 11,000 times dirtier than the average toilet seat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It is important to understand that your steering wheel is likely just as dirty as other components in your vehicle that you touch on a regular basis while driving, including the gearshift, turn signal, radio buttons, navigation screens, and even those car keys. So, moral of the story is to keep some sanitizing wipes in your vehicle and regularly wipe down every touchable surface as needed!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Do you have a car that is so dirty and junked, you no longer want anything to do with it?
