My kiddo plays piano and his teacher has the kids wash before each lesson and has them use hand sanitizer afterwards to keep nasty germs in check. You’re wise to pay attention to that. We always keep travel packs of bleach wipes in the shelf in the closet where the travel shave kits etc are. Easy to grab and take along. When you wipe down your seat area the wipe is just grungy...and that’s what you can SEE! Imagine what you can’t?
