It's important to keep disinfectant spray or sanitary wipes in the car during the pandemic — especially if you have children — and wipe down all surfaces. But be careful about the choice of cleaners because harsh chemicals can ruin interiors such as leather. If you wipe down a leather interior, it is suggested that you apply leather conditioner once the coronavirus risk has subsided. Tissues and hand sanitizers should be kept in the car as well. The CDC recommends hand sanitizers that contain at least 60% alcohol.

Harsh chemicals might eradicate viruses, but they can take a toll on surfaces such as leather, which can be dried out by certain cleaning agents, so it's best to consult the car manual for what's recommended to clean your vehicle. Definitely stay away from bleach and hydrogen peroxide. Those chemicals can kill coronavirus, but will likely damage a car's upholstery by causing discoloration.
