RideKleen is introducing a vehicle hygiene product solution and service, RideKleen PureProtect, providing vehicle disinfection and air cleanse protection for fleet owners and operators, riders, and drivers. 

This new offering is available in all RideKleen markets, including major cities and transportation hubs such as Atlanta, Los Angeles, New York, Philadelphia, Phoenix, and San Francisco. In addition, the company is providing do-it-yourself offerings, including high-volume enterprise solutions and individual vehicle kits featuring the trusted products, supplies, and training to more safely disinfect and protect vehicles on their own.

RideKleen PureProtect kits feature an eco-conscious cleaner from Caring Brands that sanitizes, disinfects, and protects the entire vehicle, including the interior cabin, A/C ventilation system, trunk, and cargo areas. Its EPA-registered and approved antimicrobial cleaner that is food safe and made in the United States is approved for use on hard and soft surfaces and kills up to 99.9% of germs, bacteria, mold, and mildew.. 

“The truth is vehicles have always been vectors for germs with more than 700 different strains of bacteria living in a car,” Rikin Patel, chief operator officer of RideKleen, said in a statement. “With a higher priority on consumer safety and health, contactless transactions have become the new normal for many of the things we purchase. The time is now for the auto industry to prioritize vehicle hygiene standards.” 

RideKleen PureProtect kits and service are being utilized at Cox Automotive Mobility’s Pivet facilities in Atlanta and Phoenix, as well as at Manheim locations nationwide. Complimentary sanitization services are also being performed for first responders in Philadelphia and Atlanta, including the Upper Southampton Township Police Department and DeKalb County Police Department, respectively. In addition, RideKleen will begin rolling out PureProtect services in partnership with dealers using Clutch Technologies’ Retail Delivery & Service Pickup and Delivery software to help enable safe, touchless retail and service experiences. 

To help curb the spread of bacteria in vehicles, RideKleen is offering enterprise and out-of-the-box disinfection solutions for dealers, rideshare providers, fleet operators, parking operators, and even consumers, to safely disinfect vehicles. 

RideKleen PureProtect Single Vehicle Kits includes a cleaner and disinfectant bottle, microfiber cloth, pair of disposable latex-free gloves, face mask, disposable hand sanitizer wipe, rearview mirror hangtag to signal completed disinfection, and instructional card with access to additional training materials.
