Vehicle Sanitizing Checklist Protecting the workplace from Covid-19 and other contagious illness outbreaks Indiana LTAP Bryan Hubbard, Purdue Polytechnic Sarah Hubbard, Purdue Polytechnic R eflects guidelines as of August 12, 2020
Vehicle Sa Sanit itizing Always Follow Manufacturer’s Instructions • Protect Yourself. Use gloves, other required PPE and work in a well ventilated area. • Clean. Remove visible dirt and debris. Use a cloth dampened with soap and water on hard surfaces; vacuum carpet before cleaning with a carpet detergent. • Sanitize (or Disinfect) . Many interior vehicle surfaces can be cleaned with a cloth dampened with isopropyl alcohol (at least 70% alcohol). • Non-bleach disinfectant on EPA’s List N is usually safe as long as it is approved for the surface.

Vehicle Sa Sanit itizing Special Surfaces Need Special Care • Touch Screens and Electronics . Turn off first and use screen wipes (not anti-microbial) or a soft cloth dampened with soap and water. Dry the screen with a clean, soft cloth. • Vinyl and Leather. Materials with a protective coating are usually safe to clean with alcohol occasionally but over time alcohol may cause discoloration or damage. • Safer alternative is soap and water. • Conditioner helps prevent UV damage on vinyl, hard plastics and leather.
