WHAT’S THE MOST DANGEROUS THING YOU CAN DO BEHIND THE WHEEL OF YOUR CAR?
TOUCH IT!
Vehicle Disinfection and Long-Term Antimicrobial Protection System

WARNING: The average steering wheel hosts NINE TIMES MORE HARMFUL BACTERIA than the average public toilet seat!
WHILE ALARMING, IT’S TRUE! The average public toilet seat hosts 80 germs per square inch, while the average steering wheel is home to over 700! That’s pretty frightening considering that over 80% of infectious diseases are spread by hands touching everyday surfaces. Scarier yet, steering wheels are far from the most germ-ridden vehicle surfaces. Door handles, radio controls and window, turn signal and door lock switches are just some of the high-touch surfaces routinely populated with 2500 or more even germier.

JUST HOW UNSANITARY ARE OUR VEHICLES? The average automobile interior is 17,000% dirtier than the average home. A typical passenger cabin hosts 2,144% more bacteria than a smartphone. Over 90% The average vehicle trunk is home to 3000+ bacteria per square inch.
Despite these well-established facts, and the dangers associated with them, only a small percentage of vehicle owners regularly clean their interiors, and virtually none have ever had them properly sanitized or disinfected, the minimum antimicrobial standards required to eliminate illness-causing bacteria and viruses. Worse yet, few if any viable solutions to the complex microbial challenges automobile interiors present have ever been developed. While the aftermarket is loaded with upholstery,
carpet and other car cleaners, very few offer any antimicrobial protection. And even if they did, it the average vehicle’s passenger cabin, and all but impossible to properly treat its many nooks, crannies and compartments, let alone under its seats and dashboard or throughout its climate control system and ductwork. Further, any antimicrobial protection provided would be very temporary, disappearing the moment the product dried. Until now.
A SOUND SOLUTION PermaSafe is a Vehicle Disinfection and Long-Term Antimicrobial Surface and Air Protection System The PermaSafe System is comprised of two distinct, yet equally remarkable and effective products: PermaSafe CLEAN and PermaSafe SHIELD. Both CLEAN and SHIELD are EPA registered and approved for safe, worry-free use on all standard automotive interior materials and surfaces, from carpets to headliners and everything in between, including dashboards, touch screens, glass, instrument panels, switch gear and more. A PermaSafe System installation starts with an initial fogging of your vehicle's passenger cabin, HVAC system, ductwork and trunk with CLEAN, our EPA and NSF registered, CDC compliant, multi-surface cleaner, sanitizer, broad-spectrum hospital grade disinfectant and odor, allergen and mold & mildew eliminator, which: Kills 99.999% of bacteria and viruses Eliminates odors and allergens Destroys / Inhibits Growth of Mold & Mildew Sanitizes HVAC Systems and Ductwork Is Effective against the Novel Coronavirus**
Once clean and disinfected, the same systems and surfaces are then fogged with PermaSafe SHIELD, our EPA registered, FDA approved, long-term antimicrobial surface protectant that: Forms an invisible barrier that continuously inhibits the growth and spread of microorganisms

Does it all without the use of harsh chemicals
While effective antimicrobials are not new, PermaSafe SHIELD’s ability to continuously eliminate and control microbes for months* after it’s applied, and without the use of any harsh chemicals, is extraordinary.

THE PERMASAFE DIFFER EN CE Conventional antimicrobials are very effective at killing microbes, but surprisingly ineffective at keeping them away. Because traditional antimicrobials eliminate germs by essentially poisoning them with toxic chemicals, they’re designed to both act and dissipate quickly to avoid also harming people and their pets. Unfortunately, as soon as these products evaporate, so does their antimicrobial capabilities, rendering them effectively useless the moment a treated surface is touched, sneezed or coughed on. The PermaSafe System not only sanitizes and disinfects your vehicle’s interior surfaces, but also provides months* of continuous antimicrobial protection via SHIELD’s proprietary surface modifying antimicrobial technology.
When applied to a surface, the patented antimicrobial agent in SHIELD chemically reacts with, molecularly bonds to, and becomes an integral part of that surface. As SHIELD cures, millions of microscopic anti-microbial “spikes” form and extend from the surface. These spikes are actually long chains of positively charged atoms. While invisible and harmless to humans, they can be quite deadly to microbes. Because microorganisms carry a negative charge, they are electrostatically drawn towards, pulled onto and eliminated by the positively-charged spikes as they impale and “shock” the microbes. These electric discharges not only hasten the microbes’ destruction, but also help keep the antimicrobial spikes clean, clear and ready to skewer the next microbes that come in contact with them.
MULTI-FACETED PR OTECTION Uniquely multifunctional, the PermaSafe System also helps preserve and protect the look, feel and smell of interior surfaces.
