A system includes a reservoir located in a vehicle. The reservoir is configured to store a substance for eliminating at least one of germs and odors from an interior of the vehicle. The system further includes a dispenser fluidly coupled to the reservoir. The dispenser is configured to dispense the substance into the interior of the vehicle. The system further includes a pump configured to pump the substance from the reservoir to the dispenser. The system further includes a controller configured to detect when an occupant of the vehicle exits the vehicle. In response to detecting the occupant of the vehicle exiting the vehicle, the controller is further configured to activate the pump to dispense the substance from the dispenser into the interior of the vehicle to eliminate at least one of the germs and the odors from the interior of the vehicle.
