Straight Talk Episode Details Auto Disinfection

June 29, 2020

We’ve talked a lot about cleaning and disinfecting facilities and homes, but Americans spend a lot of time in their cars, as well. A recent episode of Straight Talk discusses how the COVID-19 pandemic is impacting the car detailing niche.

Many auto detailers across the country were initially shut down because they were labeled as nonessential businesses. The International Detailing Association (IDA) provided resources to help business owners lobby to be labeled essential as members of the cleaning industry who provide a valuable service in reducing the risk of infection.

Upon reopening, IDA members soon found that not only did many clients want their cars cleaned, they also wanted them disinfected. Detailing teams wear personal protective equipment (PPE) such as gloves, face masks, and safety glasses while spraying the interior of vehicles with disinfectants, paying special attention to high touchpoints. Many detailers offer clients the option of a “no contact” appointment to reduce the risk of exposure to COVID-19.
