At Apex Auto Spa, we know your car is a place where you spend a lot of time, and it's easy for it to become a breeding ground for germs and bacteria. A recent study reveals some shocking truths about just how dirty car interiors can get.
The Dirtiest Spots in Your Car
You might think your steering wheel is the germiest place, but a study by Scrap Car Comparison and a senior lecturer in microbiology found that it's often cleaner than other areas due to increased use of hand sanitizer. The real culprits?
The Boot: This was found to be the most contaminated area, with thousands of bacteria. It's a high-traffic zone for everything from groceries to sports gear, making it a perfect spot for germs to thrive.
The Driver's Seat: A close second, your seat is a hotspot for bacteria, including fecal matter, which was found in every car tested.
The Gearstick: Right behind the seat, the gearstick and other high-touch surfaces like the dashboard and back seats were found to have bacterial levels on par with, or even exceeding, a typical toilet seat.
Beyond the Dirt: The Dangers of a Germy Car
These aren't just invisible annoyances. The study identified bacteria like E. coli, Pseudomonas, and Staphylococcus aureus, which can pose real health risks. A dirty car isn't just unpleasant; it can be a health hazard, especially for families with children or those with allergies.
