There is no doubt that "epidemic prevention" is now the top priority for most Chinese people.Although the current anti-epidemic approach recommended by the entire network is "Don’t go out if you have nothing to do", if you have to go out for important matters, then private cars are still safer than buses/taxi, etc.-I will do it today.Summarize the content from different traffic police officials’ announcements and official medical information, combined with your own practical experience,Tell everyone about disinfection in the car.
The first step is to start with the dilution of the disinfectant
After consulting the information released by the China Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the application of chlorine-containing disinfectants and chlorine dioxide disinfectants in the car can effectively prevent pneumonia caused by the new coronavirus infection. Among them, the 84 disinfectant that is common in our lives is one of the mentioned in the traffic police promotional
There is no doubt that "epidemic prevention" is now the top priority for most Chinese people.Although the current anti-epidemic approach recommended by the entire network is "Don’t go out if you have nothing to do", if you have to go out for important matters, then private cars are still safer than buses/taxi, etc.-I will do it today.Summarize the content from different traffic police officials’ announcements and official medical information, combined with your own practical experience,Tell everyone about disinfection in the car.
The first step is to start with the dilution of the disinfectant
After consulting the information released by the China Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the application of chlorine-containing disinfectants and chlorine dioxide disinfectants in the car can effectively prevent pneumonia caused by the new coronavirus infection. Among them, the 84 disinfectant that is common in our lives is one of the mentioned in the traffic police promotional video. It doesn’t matter if you can’t buy it recently.Other options include Jianzhisu, bleaching powder, sodium hypochlorite, etc., You might as well go to the nearby pharmacy or supermarket to ask.
Because 84 disinfectant is highly corrosive, it must be mixed with water.In the "Technical Guidelines for Disinfection Operation of Public Transportation Vehicles" issued by the Health Commission, a chlorine-containing disinfectant containing 250mg/L~500mg/L of available chlorine should be sprayed or wiped. Since my Mazda 3's interior is basically made of slush-molded material, it uses the ratio of 1:250 recommended by experts.
Although we can't precisely control the ratio, we still know the ratio. Earlier, some netizens directly took the entire bottle of disinfectant and accidentally spilled the disinfectant on the leather seats, which caused instant corrosion. This is why the traffic police official recommends using a watering can after dilution.
Also due to corrosiveness, you must wear gloves to protect your skin during operation; In addition, after I personally tested the “sour to suffocation” smell of the disinfectant when disinfecting, I believe that even if it is not a special period, you will consciously wear a mask... Also note that the car windows should be kept open during the disinfection process in the car , This is emphasized in the traffic police propaganda.
Then focus on "75% alcohol", which is very popular recently. Earlier, the Health Commission issued a message saying:84 The mixture of disinfectant and alcohol may produce highly toxic gas chlorine, The human body is susceptible to infection of the respiratory tract and lungs after inhalation. So after applying 84 disinfectant, don't spray alcohol on it again. Don't wash your hands easily with alcohol during the actual operation.
Of course, alcohol is also flammable, so please don't smoke or approach a flame during use. A "purely coincidental" accident occurred in a certain community not long ago, and the consequences were simply unimaginable.
The second step is to disinfect the whole car and pay attention to details, "clean hands" is the most important
After preparing masks, gloves, and diluted disinfectant, we began to disinfect the entire vehicle. The exterior part is actually very simple. Needless to say, wipe the door handles, door frames and other frequently touched parts after spraying. In addition, add some things that are not in the traffic police teaching, such as the inside of the door handle, the inside of the handle that tends to contain bacteria after being opened, and the trunk opening button and even the fuel tank cover.
When it comes to the interior of the car, it is also the place where spraying is often touched, such as the steering wheel, gear handle, various knobs and buttons, gear handle and handbrake, window lift and door lock keys, etc. Based on the seat wraps of two different materials, fabric and leather, the disinfection water should be adjusted as low as possible to ensure that it is foolproof.
In addition, since the instrument panel and the light shield are facing the driver’s nose and mouth, experts suggest that these parts should be disinfected together, even if we don’t touch them much.
Of course, according to the “Technical Guidelines for Disinfection and Operation of Public Transport” issued by the National Health Commission, the hygiene of our hands is the key to barriers.I believe it is difficult for you to buy 75% alcohol, but it doesn’t matter, the Health Commission mentionedAlso includes alcohol-containing quick-drying hand disinfectant, iodophor, hydrogen peroxide disinfectant, etc.Can disinfect hands. It is common to get out of the car to do errands, or to buy things, carry a package, etc. In short, it is necessary to develop the habit of disinfecting your hands before getting in the car, and you can basically be foolproof.
Because I am lazy, I always keep hand soap for quick dry cleaning. Don’t forget many disinfectant wipes, which contain alcohol, so you can refresh your mind when you wipe your face while driving.
The third step, the air conditioning filter is also the key to disinfection
Without driving the window, the air-conditioning filter is the only place where there is air circulation inside and outside the car——However, in most models, the blocking baffle will be lifted due to the influence of the airflow in the driving.Even though the internal circulation is switched, there will still be a small amount of outside air entering, so it is particularly important to disinfect the air-conditioning filter, which is why traffic police call for "wear a mask when driving."
The air filter of the general model is under the glove box. You can check the car manual or visit the forum to see how to disassemble it. Take Angkerra as an example, the support rod of the glove box can be detached, and then there is an air filter behind the box.
As shown in the figure below, the air filter is simply too dirty. The air conditioner in the car sucks in air from this dirty net... In fact, it is recommended to clean the air conditioner filter element daily, even if it is dusty on the side of the road. There are a lot of broken leaves, insect residues, and gravel on my air filter.
Finally, spray disinfectant water, reinstall it and go back. Warm reminder,Both sides of the air filter should be disinfected, and don’t make a mistake when putting it back., Otherwise the remaining dust will be sucked into the car...
In addition, there are of course air outlets related to air conditioning. It is recommended to carefully spray the blades with patience; in addition, there are models with rear air outlets, remember not to ignore the passengers behind.
The last step: Ventilation/internal circulation switch on demand during driving
Finally, I will talk about the details of epidemic prevention while driving. It is also a recommendation from the "Technical Guidelines for Disinfection and Operation of Public Transport" by the China Centers for Disease Control and Health Commission-all people in the vehicle need to wear masks, and on expressways and sparse traffic On roads, windows must be opened frequently for ventilation, while in underground parking lots and crowded places, windows must be closed and the internal circulation of air-conditioning must be switched.
To add a situation, some cars are set for health considerations,After a certain period of time in the inner loop, the system will automatically switch to the outer loop, My friend’s F-PACE is like this, so in special times, please pay close attention to the settings of your car to see if the system can be adjusted. Don’t just be in a crowded place and be pitted by the car machine system. Up...

Written at the end, or the most popular exhortation recently:It's okay to go out as little as possible. Although the above suggestions combine the experience of traffic police officials, disease control officials, and myself, they are certainly not invincible in the face of the virus. Only by constantly improving our own hygiene awareness can we try to avoid the spread of the virus.And when everyone has completed the anti-epidemic project, only then can the day to overcome the pneumonia caused by the new coronavirus be approached.
