This thing you touch every day is filthier than your toilet - but you probably never clean it
Briefly

A study by Plates Express reveals that the steering wheel in vehicles is a hotspot for bacteria, potentially as dirty as a porta potty. Most drivers neglect cleaning it, focusing on more visible areas like the console or garbage disposal instead. Experts, like luxury car cleaner James Taylor, emphasize that just like hand hygiene, steering wheels should be cleaned regularly to prevent germ transmission, especially since drivers often touch their faces and food after handling the wheel. Surveys show many drivers only clean their cars infrequently, highlighting a public health concern.
You wouldn't go weeks without washing your hands, but drivers go months without wiping down the one surface they touch every single day.
I've cleaned Bentleys that looked spotless - but when you swab the wheel, the bacteria levels are through the roof.
