Auto desinfizieren – so gehst du richtig vor

Unusual times call for special measures. Protection against infection has taken on unprecedented importance. Disinfecting cars has also become a major concern. Viruses and bacteria are primarily transmitted via aerosols , either in the air or deposited on surfaces. Infected individuals release contaminated particles when breathing, speaking, coughing, and sneezing. The viruses are then absorbed by others through the mucous membranes of the mouth, nose, and eyes. Therefore, enclosed spaces, including vehicles, pose the highest risk of infection. When cars are shared, vehicle disinfection is essential to prevent transmission. AnoKath® Air-Clean disinfects cars (including the air conditioning system) in an environmentally friendly and highly effective manner.

AnoKath is breaking new ground, as its modern hygiene method utilizes the disinfecting power of mineral salts. It is produced using the patented ECALIT® process. The activated saline solution is guaranteed free of organic chemical compounds and, when used correctly and professionally, ensures the protection of the health of all individuals. Ideally applied via cold fogging, the tiny droplets remain suspended in the air, where they exert their germicidal effect. After a short time, they settle on surfaces and continue their work. Even hidden corners are reached during vehicle disinfection. Alternatively, it can be applied using a spray bottle.

Risks of Ozone

Car disinfection is usually done with ozone. Because ozone irritates the respiratory tract, a waiting period of at least 12 hours is required after treatment before getting back into the car. The gas usually dissipates within this time. However, a lingering haze with a chlorine smell is often still noticeable. Pulmonologists warn against ozone air purifiers, especially since harmful compounds are formed when used in conjunction with the off-gassing of plasticizers, as well as paints and adhesives. A scratchy throat is considered a typical symptom after inhaling this mixture. In extreme cases, ozone can also lead to lung damage. Plastics, rubber (seals), leather upholstery, and metals are also sensitive to ozone. Frequent car disinfection, as was considered appropriate during the COVID-19 pandemic, puts significant strain on these materials.

Applications for disinfecting cars

Disinfecting the interiors of trucks, vans and cars is essential in times of high risk of infection, especially wherever people take turns as drivers or passengers, such as:

  • Automotive businesses (car detailing): to protect their own employees and customers – disinfect cars
  • Hygiene concept for company cars
  • in vehicle fleets
  • Disinfect the interior of the ambulance after every use.
  • for police cars
  • Vehicle disinfection for taxis
  • Parcel services (disinfecting car interiors)
  • in public transport to protect the driver and passengers (e.g. school buses)

AnoKath Air-Clean was primarily designed for reliable and time-saving vehicle disinfection in professional settings. The disinfectant is now also increasingly used in the private sector.

  • after buying a used car
  • Car disinfection and odor removal to increase value upon sale
  • For the safety of carpools (protection against infections)
  • generally to rule out infections

FAQ - Auto desinfizieren mit AnoKath

Why should I disinfect my car at all?

You disinfect your car because you use many contact surfaces daily and have frequent changes of passengers. You reduce germs on the steering wheel, gearshift knob, and touchscreen, lower odors caused by moisture and residue, and feel more comfortable overall. AnoKath tip: With AnoKath Air-Clean, you can quickly keep the interior more hygienic – without complicated combinations.

Disinfecting your car: What's more important – thorough cleaning or immediate disinfection?

You clean first and disinfect afterward. You remove dust, grease, and visible dirt so that the disinfection works reliably. If you just "spray over it," you often spread residues further. This way, you make hygiene routine instead of the exception. AnoKath tip: Use AnoKath Air-Clean as a second step.

Which areas in the car should I disinfect most frequently?

You should disinfect the most frequently touched surfaces: steering wheel, gearshift knob, handbrake, door handles, seatbelt buckles, touchscreen (sparingly), center console, armrests, footwells, floor mats, and trunk. Also disinfect air vents and the area around the cabin air filter if odors develop. This will noticeably reduce the risk in everyday use. AnoKath tip: Quickly clean contact surfaces with AnoKath Air-Clean.

Hilft Auto desinfizieren auch gegen Gerüche?

Ja, denn viele Gerüche entstehen durch Rückstände, Feuchtigkeit und mikrobiologische Prozesse. Eine Desinfektion kann geruchsverursachende Belastungen reduzieren, statt Gerüche nur zu überdecken. Das ist besonders hilfreich bei Tiergeruch, Rauch, Sportgeruch oder muffiger Luft nach Standzeiten. Für beste Ergebnisse kombinierst du Desinfektion mit Lüften und regelmäßiger Reinigung.

Ist Auto desinfizieren sinnvoll nach Krankheit oder Infekt?

Nach Krankheit oder wenn jemand stark gehustet oder geniest hat, kann eine Desinfektion im Auto sinnvoll sein. Innenräume sind eng, Kontaktflächen werden häufig berührt, und Keime können sich verteilen. Eine hygienische Behandlung unterstützt die Reduktion von Belastungen. Danach immer gut lüften, damit der Innenraum schnell wieder angenehm nutzbar ist.

Spraying or misting: Which is better in a car?

You use spraying/wiping for contact surfaces and quick interim cleaning because you work precisely and don't soak anything. You use cold fogging when you want to treat a larger area of ​​the interior, for example after heavy use, to remove odors, or for hard-to-reach areas. AnoKath tip: With AnoKath Air-Clean, you remain flexible – depending on your needs.

Does car disinfectant also help against odors (smoker's car, wet dog, food smell)?

You combat odors by removing their sources: You clean textiles, mats, and "odor hotspots" in footwells and the trunk, reduce moisture, and then disinfect. This helps create a fresher interior feeling, especially in cars previously used by smokers, with wet dogs, or with food smells. AnoKath tip: Combine cleaning and disinfection in one step with AnoKath Air-Clean.

How often should I disinfect my car?

You adjust the frequency according to your usage. You disinfect weekly if you transport many passengers, customers, or colleagues, and you disinfect additionally after illness, a visit to the workshop, buying a used car, or after handling heavily soiled cargo. You keep the intervals short for speed. AnoKath tip: With AnoKath Air-Clean, you work quickly and consistently.

Kann ich mein Auto auch im Winter oder bei Feuchtigkeit desinfizieren?

Ja, gerade im Winter entsteht durch nasse Kleidung, Schnee und wenig Lüften schnell Feuchtigkeit, die Gerüche begünstigt. Eine Desinfektion kann unterstützen, wenn du zugleich auf Trocknung achtest. Lüfte nach der Anwendung länger und nutze bei Bedarf Heizung oder Entfeuchter, damit Polster und Teppiche gut abtrocknen.

Was bringt mir Air Clean beim Auto desinfizieren?

Air Clean unterstützt dich dabei, den Innenraum hygienisch zu behandeln und Geruchsquellen zu reduzieren, ohne nur Duft zu überdecken. Du nutzt es besonders praktisch bei häufiger Nutzung, Tiertransport oder empfindlichen Mitfahrern. In Kombination mit Reinigung und Lüftung erreichst du ein spürbar frischeres Innenraumklima und ein besseres Hygienegefühl im Fahrzeug.
