These are the three “gross” germ-ridden areas in your car you need to clean now, and most forget about them
- Cleaning expert revealed the spaces in the car that you should clean
- Anita Birges shared a video and cleaned her steering wheel, gear stick and doors
A cleaning expert has listed the top three areas of your car that you should clean most often, as they are often full of nasty dirt and bacteria.
Anita Birges, from Sydney, cleaned key points inside her car, including the steering wheel, gear stick and door handles, with antibacterial wipes.
While the areas didn’t look dirty, all three wipes left with brown marks on each, with the steering wheel being the dirtiest.
I am always amazed at how much dirt and grime comes off. It’s pretty gross,’ he said.
Anita said that the quick task only took five minutes to complete all three areas. Homework must be completed at least once a week.

He cleaned some of the interior parts of his car, including the steering wheel, gear stick, and door handles, with antibacterial wipes. While the areas did not look dirty, all three wipes had brown marks on each one.
In the clip, the wipe used to clean the gear stick looked just as dirty, while the door handles and window buttons had less dirt.
Since then, the short video has been viewed more than 24,000 times, but some disagreed with the method for a reason.
“I wouldn’t use antibacterial wipes inside,” one person wrote.
A second stated: “Antibacterial wipes are not good for cars, because they make the surface come off over time, so I would choose another product, but nothing alcohol-based, because that’s the problem with making the interior plastic that seal everything”. continue.’
But according to Tempe Honda Auto Detailers, the disinfecting wipes are fine to use and won’t cause any harm.
‘When considering how to disinfect your car, one of the most effective methods is to use household disinfectant wipes that will kill germs and clean your surfaces. You can use them on most hard surfaces, but focus on the areas you touch most often,’ the company wrote in the website.
I am always amazed at how much dirt and grime comes off. It’s pretty gross,” Anita wrote.
Others were upset and thanked Anita for sharing the cleaning ‘trick’.
‘My God!!! Yuck im going to go clean mine now,’ wrote one person.
“I clean like this and also clean myself with a damp microfiber cloth and then a dry one to remove any product,” wrote another.
‘I used to have a mini van. When she had a car full of kids. She would give each of them a wipe or two and tell them to clean up their areas. It wasn’t perfect but it wasn’t bad. Plus it made my car smell really good,” added a third.
