Caring For Your Interlock Device During Cold and Flu Season

Amid cold and flu season, knowing how to properly care for and clean your Ignition Interlock Device (IID) is essential. Although cleaning your Ignition Interlock may seem daunting, it is simple and necessary!

Get Extra Mouthpieces

Next time you go to a Smart Start service center, grab a few extra mouthpieces for your Ignition Interlock Device (they’re free!). This is important so you do not have to share the same mouthpiece if someone else drives your vehicle. If you are the only one using your device, switching out your mouthpiece regularly will also improve the cleanliness of your device.

Cleaning Your Ignition Interlock

Cleaning your Ignition Interlock is important to do year-round. To do this, you only need to wipe it down with a little warm water and soap and let your device air dry. It is really that simple!
*Something crucial to remember about your IID is that your device MUST stay dry when you are not cleaning it.

The Do’s and Don’ts of Cleaning your Device

DON’T pour water on your device
DO use a damp cloth to wipe the device
DON’T use wipes like Lysol or Clorox
DO let your device air dry for 15 minutes
DON’T use a dirty cloth
