Did you know that there are approximately 700 different kinds of bacteria living in an average car. CarRentals.com went on to break down the numbers by determining the average amount of bacteria per square centimeter. They found the average steering wheel had 629 colony-forming units of bacteria per square centimeter, which ranks dirtier than a public toilet seat (172 CFU), a cell phone screen (100 CFU), and public elevator buttons (313 CFU).
The cup holder doesn’t trail the steering wheel by much in terms of dirtiness with an average of 506 CFU per square centimeter. The seat belt ranks as the third dirtiest and the inside door handle is fourth, according to CarRentals.com.
Dirtiest Place in Your Car: Steering Wheel
Your steering wheel carries with it the germs that your hands have brought from wherever your day may take you. Even if you are diligent about vacuuming your car interior and taking it for a spin in the car wash, your steering wheel might not get wiped down as often as it should be. Your steering wheel is the top place for germs.
CarRentals.com conducted a survey of 1,000 drivers in the U.S. and found that 32 percent of people only clean their cars once a year. Additionally, the survey found 12 percent of people have never cleaned their car.
