Keep it clean

Then you twitch into your car and, because you are alone, you feel protected and relieved.

But have you forgotten anything? What about the cleanliness of your car?

Here are 10 tips for a more aseptic drive:

1. Presume your car is full of nasty germs, not just the flu virus. Anyone who has been in your car may have radical harmful germs behind. Probably the easiest and most effective way to do away with germs in your car is to bake it under the sun for a day. That's right, the UV kills or neutralises most germs. Grade turn over down the windows and open all doors for maximum sunlight entrance. All modern cars have UV-resistant interior plastics, so don't trouble about that.

2. Sure, some of you may not have the sun, space and time to do this, so you will have to sanitise it. As well as rubbing spirits, there are a few other relatively inexpensive sanitisers you may not know of, but probably already have in your company - ammonia-based window cleaners and household bleach. As etiolate could ruin car plastic, do test for colour fastness by dabbing a bit of diluted blench on a small area of your car's interior that is out of sight. You'll also need cotton pads, a ditty or two of soft cloth you can throw away and one of the three sanitisers listed above.
