A study commissioned by the British supermarket chain B & Q reveals that there are over 700 different bacteria per square inch of the steering wheel, shifter and seat backs. This number turns out to be even greater than public toilets, that "home" 42 bacteria per square inch (equivalent to 6.45 cm ²).
"The car allows germs and bacteria breed in favorable conditions, especially if meals are eaten in the cockpit with its scatter of crumbs and leftovers," says Ron Cutler, director of the department of biomedical science at Queen Mary University of London . "Every motorist should regularly clean both the interior to the body." In reality, one in three people admitted to clean the cabin at least once a year, while ten percent of the sample has never addressed the issue.
The study also revealed that lurk in the trunk more than 1000 bacteria per square inch, enough to call it the dirtiest part of the whole car.
