| | You might think your vehicle is clean. However, most drivers are carrying around a dirty little secret and don't even know it. Keeping the interior of your vehicle clean is important -- especially if you have allergies. "Keeping your vehicle interior clean is one of the most overlooked areas of vehicle maintenance," says Peter Lord, executive director of GM Service Operations. Allergens like pollen, as well as bacteria, are just some of the substances that invade our vehicles. In addition, pet hair and dander, residues from road dust, soot, pesticides, and other chemicals collect in vehicle interiors, entering through ventilation ducts or open windows and doors. | | How can you stop these invaders? Here are a few tips: > Use disinfectant to wipe down the steering wheel, instrument panel, door handles and other areas. Remember to clean the interior of the vehicle each time your wash the outside. > Keep interior surfaces clean by vacuuming seats, carpet and floor mats regularly. > Replace your vehicle's cabin air filter, if equipped, when recommended by the owner's manual. If you drive in high-traffic or dusty areas, replace the filter more often. The GM Goodwrench Cabin Air Filter blocks most allergens that enter a vehicle's ventilation system.
