Car care tips in the drizzle season
With the characteristics of a closed box, a car is a suitable condition for mold and bacteria to grow, especially on drizzly, humid days.
Here are some tips for proper car care during the rainy season:
Choose a dry parking area
Choose a clean, dry, covered parking space to keep away from corrosive and oxidizing agents. If the parking area does not have a roof, you can use a tarpaulin to cover the car.
Clean car
Regularly cleaning your car on rainy days is a way to slow down the oxidation process. When cleaning at home, pay attention to cleaning the interior compartment, use a vacuum cleaner to remove dirt on the car's interior. Use specialized tools and detergents for cars.
You can place some products such as essential oils, scented bags... in the car to both absorb moisture and create a pleasant, fresh scent.
After cleaning, use a soft cloth to wipe, avoid using a dry, rough cloth because it can scratch the paint. Close the car door and turn on the air conditioner in Dry mode to dry and dehumidify. At the same time, turn on the windshield dehumidifier function to keep this part dry and shiny.
Electrical System Care
Electrical wiring and electrical connections are also parts that need attention during the drizzle season. Wet weather makes exposed electrical wiring locations susceptible to oxidation, causing short circuits and fires.
To prevent this, you should cover the wires and joints, and not add lights or devices that increase power consumption.
In addition, car owners also need to pay attention to the air filter to better filter the air and dehumidify the air conditioner, thereby reducing the risk of humidity in the car.
Do not lower the window when moving
If the windows are lowered while driving, damp weather and drizzle can easily penetrate inside, causing unpleasant odors.
In addition, drivers should turn on the air conditioner in Dry mode to keep the car dry. Do not turn on the hot mode because it can cause condensation in the car.
