I just noticed how disgustingly sticky mine is. #blech

    Never. How else am I to assure good grip for tight corners?

    Don’t remember the last time… I’ll go check how dirty it is and give and update.

    Edit : totally forgot to update, but it was surprisingly… Not that dirty? There’s obvious smudging from fingers and all, but not that much real dirt. Apart from the back. Oh my fucking god. PTSD from what I’ve seen.

    I drive a vehicle that’s old enough to be elected president in the US… it’s been in my family for 20+ years, and I don’t think any of us have washed the steering wheel, shift knobs, door handles, or window cranks.

      LOL. Yeah, I’m right behind you…my daily driver is a '93 Civic…

    I’m ashamed to say, despite it being touched, coughed and breathed on so often, nowhere near enough

    Just bought a great CPO car a week ago, so… I’ve never cleaned it.

    But in general, I use steering wheel covers that I change maybe once a year.

    I don’t drive that much, only like once a week. My wife also drives it once a week (we share). In the winter, we often wear gloves. So it doesn’t get too grimey.

    The subway here is how I commute to work or enjoy nights out. If it’s super late or I’m lazy, an Uber will pick up the slack.

    Yes I have found a microfiber cloth that works very good and easy, and I clean it every day now (only the glass)

    Like once a month. Whenever I wash and hover my car, I also clean the area that I’m touching.

    I was not responding to the phone cleaning post, but I clean my watch and phone with disinfectant wipe everyday when I go to shower, so I have everything clean.

    I started cleaning it when covid hit. After I sanitize my hands in the car I’ll wipe my hands off around the wheel and my key since I usually forget until after I’ve gotten in and started the car up. I do it less often now, but every time I pump gas for sure.

    Clean my phone every time I take a shower. Never cleaned my steering wheel, but that’s an external thing. A phone is a constant carry. Do you clean your door knobs?

      Ooh, good one. It’s rare, but it’s happened…

    I drive a Tesla and the steering wheel never gets dirty at all 🤷‍♂️
