Epidemic situation returning to work joke

The Spring Festival in COVID-19 is really long. The epidemic may not dissipate so quickly, but life goes on. In this way, we ushered in the return to work. Some netizens joked that the probability of being infected when going out is 0.0 16%, while the probability of starving at home is 100% (what a painful understanding). I shudder at the thought of "shoulder to shoulder" on the bus, but driving to work can greatly reduce the risk of infection. Here, Bian Xiao suggests that you try to drive or follow your private car to and from work in the near future, which can not only stay away from viruses, but also create a safe and hygienic car environment for our family, making travel more worry-free and more secure!

So, the question is: will you really disinfect your car?

When it comes to disinfection, alcohol, 84 disinfectant and various bleaches will pop up in everyone's mind. It should be noted that there are many kinds of disinfection products in the market, but if we use it improperly, it will probably cause serious damage to the car paint, including the interior. Then let's see how to disinfect the car correctly!

Body disinfection: avoiding chlorine? Recommended alcohol

Avoid pits: First of all, the disinfection of the car body should avoid the corrosion and oxidation of car paint and metal, and all chlorine-containing reagents such as 84 disinfectant have strong damage to the metal accessories and car paint of the car body, so try to avoid using this kind of disinfection products. If there is no other choice, wash the car body with clean water as soon as possible after disinfection to minimize the damage to the car body.

Suggestion: We can choose 75% medical alcohol to dilute it according to a certain proportion, and then wipe the car body (especially the door handle), because alcohol (ethanol) has little damage to the car paint and can also achieve the disinfection effect, killing two birds with one stone! However, it is worth noting that although alcohol has poor solubility, long-term use will also affect the gloss of car paint. So after rubbing alcohol, rinse it with water immediately!

Tire disinfection: avoid potassium permanganate and high temperature.

Pit avoidance: As the main component of the tire is rubber, potassium permanganate, a solvent, has a strong oxidation effect, which will accelerate the aging of the tire, shorten the life of the tire and have a certain impact on driving safety. Recommendation: Universal alcohol (ethanol) will be launched soon. It is safe to disinfect tires with alcohol without any corrosive effect.

In-vehicle disinfection: diluting alcohol

Recommendation: The car is the part that we contact most when driving, so we should pay more attention. 84, hydrogen peroxide and other commonly used disinfectants are corrosive, which will lead to white patches on the surface of leather and so on, and will also have a certain corrosive effect. It is recommended to wipe the interior with diluted medical alcohol (do not directly wipe the interior with medical alcohol), and then clean it with foam cleaner to prevent alcohol from corroding part of the interior. However, it should be noted that alcohol will produce flammable and explosive gases after evaporation.

Summary: In fact, it is more important to disinfect your opponent before getting on the bus than to disinfect the car body. For example, prepare some wet tissues with disinfection function in the car, and everyone will disinfect their hands every time they get on the bus, which can greatly reduce the risk of infection.
