Note: 15 seconds - all over the steering wheel - not just on the cruise button.

-About steaming the vents & bacteria killing: To me, it couldn't possible kill the bacteria deep in the vents -it looses most of the heat (aka high temp = kill bacteria ) within a few inches.

Even on high setting I can get a few inches away and the vapor is warm but NOT super hot.

In my estimation, it will kill bacteria in the immediate area but not much outside of that. A few inches give or take. Deep vents, no way.

I'm not saying a steamer isn't great, or that it doesn't make the car smell fresh.
