How to eliminate bacteria inside your car?

Posted June 17, 2024

Taking care of your car is good, but taking care of those who get in it every day is even better. Since the start of the pandemic, the quality of the air we breathe has been a subject… in the spirit of the times. We therefore suggest that you decontaminate or even purify the air circulating in your vehicle.

Why purify the air in your car?

First of all, you should know that decontamination of the passenger compartment has nothing to do with that of the bodywork, which consists of getting rid of rust pins caused by brake dust. The air sanitation process consists of ridding the interior of the car of microbes, but above all, tackling the source of the problem: the air ducts.

With our climate which changes its mind every five minutes, condensation quickly accumulates in the ventilation ducts which are continually at the mercy of the alternation of heat, freshness, air conditioning and heating. Condensation causes mold which becomes a haven for dust mites, mildew and bacteria that can harm your health.

Air purification is particularly popular with people who suffer from allergies, but the whole family benefits!

How does it work?

The process lasts barely fifteen minutes. To purify the air in the vehicle, we use an electronic device which sends disinfectant smoke throughout the passenger compartment. Thanks to the smoke, everything passes: the roof, the roof, the benches, the carpets, and your vehicle comes out cleaner than ever.

You can find a disinfectant in the form of a spray in hardware stores, but it does not have the ability to slip everywhere like smoke and does not penetrate as effectively into the air ducts to eliminate mold.

The ideal is to clean the air in the car twice a year. Since the process remains simple, the ideal is to combine it with tire changes .

Is it harmful to surfaces?

On the contrary, the smoke cleaning process is one of the gentlest there is, it does not leave a trace and once the purification is complete you can use your vehicle immediately, as the surfaces are already dry.  

And driving with the windows open, isn’t that enough?

Unfortunately, simply ventilating the car does not kill germs and, above all, does not clean the ventilation ducts where the source of the problem is located. Plus, we love our customers too much to let them drive with the windows open in the bitter cold of winter!
