I just noticed how disgustingly sticky mine is. #blech

    I drive a vehicle that’s old enough to be elected president in the US… it’s been in my family for 20+ years, and I don’t think any of us have washed the steering wheel, shift knobs, door handles, or window cranks.

    No judgment on those who don’t, but every two weeks. I got in the habit of cleaning the touch-heavy surfaces of my car when I got back in it after grocery shopping—three guesses as to when I started doing this—and I just haven’t stopped.

    Just bought a great CPO car a week ago, so… I’ve never cleaned it.

    But in general, I use steering wheel covers that I change maybe once a year.

    I don’t drive that much, only like once a week. My wife also drives it once a week (we share). In the winter, we often wear gloves. So it doesn’t get too grimey.

    The subway here is how I commute to work or enjoy nights out. If it’s super late or I’m lazy, an Uber will pick up the slack.

    Like once a month. Whenever I wash and hover my car, I also clean the area that I’m touching.

    I was not responding to the phone cleaning post, but I clean my watch and phone with disinfectant wipe everyday when I go to shower, so I have everything clean.

    Clean my phone every time I take a shower. Never cleaned my steering wheel, but that’s an external thing. A phone is a constant carry. Do you clean your door knobs?

    I drive a Tesla and the steering wheel never gets dirty at all 🤷‍♂️
