2. Stay Safe and Sanitary in Your Ride
The COVID-19 pandemic has altered our reality in more ways than we realize. Not only has it made us
realize the importance of social distancing in times like these, but also the need to evaluate our own
sanitary habits. Surfaces we touch and interact with daily contain germs that could be harmful to us and,
now more than ever, it’s important to be careful.
At Toyota of Orlando, we know you spend a lot of time in your vehicle and that it’s also a breeding ground
for germs. To stay safe during this pandemic and in the future, we have some essential tips for car
detailing and sanitizing. Check it out!

3. Tip 1) Grab the Right Supplies
More than likely, you’re pretty familiar with car detailing and
the supplies you need to get that job done. However, sanitizing
your Orlando Toyota car’s interior requires a little more
supplies and thought.
You’re going to want to gather supplies like antibacterial soap,
warm water, disinfecting wipes, bleach based cleaner, and
more. These materials can kill germs and viruses on surfaces in
your ride as you clean so it’s important you use these in
conjunction with your detailing equipment.

4. 2) Rethink How You’re Going to Clean
Usually, car detailing is as easy as spraying upholstery and surface protectant and wiping it down until it’s
nice and shiny. When disinfecting the surfaces in your Orlando car, you need to put more thought into it.
For your vehicle’s seats, using antibacterial soap and warm water with a cloth is a perfect way to disinfect
and get a good clean. However, we don’t recommend using bleach based cleaners as they’ll likely stain
your seats. Instead, save that for the harder surfaces in your ride.
If you want to do some Orlando car detailing while you sanitize, allow your surfaces to dry and then
follow it up with your usual detailing products and protectants.

5. 3) High Touch Surfaces
There are plenty of spots in your ride that you touch and interact
with more than others. Places like your:
● Steering wheel
● A/C controls
● Shift knob
● Exterior door handles
● Infotainment system
These areas should be especially disinfected and cleaned. We
recommend keeping sanitizing wipes on hand so you can disinfect
these surfaces each time you drive.

6. Disinfect Your Ride and Protect Yourself
Here at Toyota of Orlando, we understand that these are uncertain and scary times. However, the best
thing to do is stay calm and protect yourself and those around you. Make sure to do a thorough car
detailing and disinfecting while maintaining proper social distancing.
