It is fascinating to see how much a car lover will spend to detail or groom their car. A buddy of mine owns the most exotic car detailing centre in South East Asia. He often charges over US$1000 for detailing jobs. His attention to detail is so incredible that you can shave your face from the reflection off the paint work. This is one extreme and is usually reserved for the hardcore car lover. The grooming aspect is mainly reserved for cosmetic aspect rather than overall health. Yes, a cleaner car should be more hygienic however, for people with children, washing your car's exterior and vacuuming the carpets and seats are not enough.
Literally millions of bacteria linger in the car's ventilation and air conditioning system and no one bothers to clean this part. They don't clean it because they don't know how to and they have no clue that the air that they are breathing in everyday is harmful.
You can often find a car with immaculate exterior paint work but the interior is not as clean. Many people forget to thoroughly clean their car's interior. It is also more difficult to clean the car's interior as there are more nooks and crannies which make it extremely difficult to reach.
The car's air conditioning system is notorious for harbouring harmful bacteria as the hot and cold working environment creates a breeding ground for bacteria. When the air conditioning system is switched off, the cool air condenses and forms into water droplets which will stay in the ducting, couple this with the car occupants sneezing and coughing, the bacteria will manifest itself. Mold spores will also start to form and this usually leads to respiratory problems.
The next time you send your car for your regular car wash, I highly recommend treating your car's air conditioning (if available). Consider a service similar to this: http://www.bactakleen.com/index.php/products-a-services
