When people think about keeping their car clean, they often focus on the exterior, washing off dirt, polishing the paint, and cleaning the wheels. However, some of the dirtiest areas are actually inside the cabin. One of the most overlooked yet frequently touched spots is the steering wheel. Over time, the leather or material can collect dirt, grease, oils from your skin, and even residue from makeup. This build up creates a shiny or slick appearance on the steering wheel’s surface, which isn’t a sign of cleanliness but a sign of accumulated dirt and grime.
Why Steering Wheel Hygiene Is Important
A steering wheel is handled every time you drive. Oils from your hands transfer onto the leather, along with sweat, remnants of hand lotions, and even bacteria. Without regular cleaning, these contaminants can:
-
Degrade the leather: Contaminants can break down the protective layers of leather, causing it to age prematurely.
-
Cause an unpleasant feel: The buildup of sweat, oils, and dirt makes the steering wheel surface slippery and uncomfortable.
-
Pose a hygiene risk: A dirty steering wheel can harbor bacteria, which can transfer onto your hands and face.
Here Detail Valets Manchester, we specialise in removing this build up. We have the detailing know how, tools and techniques to deep clean and sanitise your steering wheel, restoring its natural look and feel while making it more hygienic.
