Turtle Wax recently conducted a survey amongst U.S. drivers to understand the shift in driving and interior car cleaning habits amid COVID-19. While there is heightened concern around keeping the interior surfaces of their car clean, many drivers have not increased the number of times they clean their car nor use the right products to kill germs, leaving drivers and passengers susceptible to illness. Key findings from this survey include:
- More Time on the Road: 65 percent are using their cars almost every day.
- Car Cleanliness Concerns: 47 percent are more concerned with cleaning the interior of their car(s) today than before COVID-19. This number increases to 73 percent among those who are driving more frequently now than prior to COVID-19.
- Being Prepared: 63 percent feel it is now important to bring car cleaning products in the car in the midst of COVID-19.
- Cleaning Less: 59 percent are cleaning their car’s interior about the same or less frequently than before the COVID-19 pandemic.
- Choosing the Wrong Solution: 52 percent think household wipes are effective to clean their car’s interior, but household wipes are ineffective in eliminating germs and could harm the car’s interior surfaces.
