Can Alcohol Be Sprayed in a Car for Disinfection?

Alcohol can be sprayed in a car for disinfection. Here are specific details about using alcohol for car interior disinfection: 1. Use 75% concentration medical alcohol: To achieve disinfection and sterilization effects, it is necessary to use medical alcohol with a concentration of 75%. If the alcohol concentration is too low, it will not be effective in killing bacteria. Alcohol molecules have strong permeability, allowing them to penetrate bacterial membranes and enter the bacteria's interior, coagulating the proteins that form the basis of bacterial life and thus killing the bacteria. 2. Turn off the car and be mindful of alcohol quantity: Before using alcohol to disinfect the vehicle, the car owner should turn off the engine to keep it in a non-operational state. It is also important to ensure proper ventilation inside the car. Since 75% alcohol has a flash point around 22°C and evaporates quickly, the owner must ensure there are no open flames nearby and be cautious with the amount of alcohol used to avoid high air alcohol concentration that could lead to an explosion.
