The train carriage was filthy, even worse than a toilet! 😱
A French health magazine conducted a study, randomly sampling... The deployment of 1,300 shared cars and 1,200 private cars resulted in a shocking outcome! How dirty is the car? Steering wheel: 800 types of bacteria per square centimeter Toilets: 80 types of bacteria per square centimeter That means your steering wheel is dirtier than your toilet. 10x! What bacteria are in the car interior? Staphylococcus: can cause skin inflammation E. coli: can cause vomiting and diarrhea. Bacillus cereus: can cause sepsis in severe cases. Why is the car so dirty? As we move up and down the train, we unintentionally bring bacteria from outside into the passenger compartment. When the train is off, the high temperature and humidity inside the compartment create an ideal environment for bacteria to survive and multiply. So to ensure your own and your family's health, remember to clean the car regularly! StarDrive offers a variety of car cleaning services to suit different needs. Take advantage of the New Year's Eve and get your car thoroughly cleaned! https://bit.ly/49qfSWG
