Have you ever wondered what the air in your car is composed of? According to an experiment made by Hyundai, many people tend not to know about it. And that is because the number of pollutants present inside vehicles is quite high. For instance, one out of every three cars has a polluted air circulation system due to emissions entering the vehicle through vents and other unnoticeable spaces throughout the cabin. What’s worse is that these pollutants can be hazardous for your health as they cause asthma attacks and allergies, which can even lead to death (in extreme cases). That is why during this article we will talk about how to keep your car’s air circulation system clean, so you can avoid all those horrible things mentioned above. Let’s get started!

How to Have a Clean Air Circulation System of Your Car

1. Using the right type of fuel for your car, one that has lower levels of sulfur, can be beneficial. For example, diesel cars produce fewer emissions than petrol engines do. That is why more and more people are opting for this option when purchasing a new vehicle.
2. Keeping the air conditioning system clean is highly important to have fresh air inside your car’s cabin all the time. All you need to do is regularly clean its components, including coils, evaporator, and condenser, with white vinegar or baking soda solution (about 50/50). If you want, you can go to an auto shop and ask them to professionally service your car’s air conditioning system every once in a while.
3. Always check your air filter and clean it if needed, because not doing so can make you breathe dust or other pollutants present inside the cabin (that could be dangerous for your health). By cleaning/replacing the filter, you will increase its efficiency and ensure that only fresh air circulates inside your vehicle. If you don’t know how to do it yourself, just go to an auto shop and ask them to guide you through the process, ensuring everything is properly handled.
4. If possible, drive with all windows closed as much as possible, especially on the highway. This way, you can avoid polluted outside air getting inside your vehicle. Also, try to drive at low speeds and don’t drive right after the rain has occurred, since water on the road makes it hard for your car’s air circulation system to work properly.
5. If you have pets inside your vehicle (dog or cat), their hair will stick to seats and carpets, making your vehicle even more polluted than it already is. If possible, keep them away from the car when driving long distances and never let them sit in front of a fan while you’re driving because they can get seriously injured that way! And yes, we know no one would ever do such a thing, but there are some people out there who just love their pets too much!
