Anti-Viral Cleaning

Any thoughts on what to use on the leather steering wheel and other surfaces that are really Anti-Viral and yet safe for the surfaces?
Unfortunately, my car is parked in a garage where I drive in and the attendants put it away and return it to me the next day. While they wear masks, they also wear gloves. The gloves most of them wear are winter leather and no doubt never changed. Opportunities for cross contamination certainly exist.
Any suggestions of something both effective and available?
Thanks

UV ball in the sky

Irradiate your car with ultraviolet light.
Put your top down on a sunny day.
According to Homeland Security the half life of the virus in direct sunlight is 90 seconds.

This may allow you to limit the damage from the cleaners because you won't use them as much.

Not only do I keep the top down as much as possible, I’m also trying to follow the President’s advice. I keep my mouth open to try to get the light inside.
