Can alcohol be used for disinfection inside a car?
1 Answers
Alcohol can be used for disinfection inside a car. Different concentrations of alcohol serve different purposes. To achieve a disinfecting and sterilizing effect, you need to purchase medical alcohol with a concentration of 75%. Car owners should also pay attention to certain aspects when using alcohol for disinfection. Due to the high concentration of alcohol and its rapid evaporation, 75% ethanol disinfectant has a flash point of around 22°C, so it is important to maintain ventilation inside the car. Additional information: 1. It is best to use a towel dipped in alcohol to wipe the interior of the car instead of directly spraying alcohol inside, as this avoids excessive alcohol concentration in the air, which poses a fire risk. When wiping the interior of the car, remember to turn off the engine first and wait until the engine and interior equipment have stopped working before proceeding. 2. Since alcohol is an organic solvent, car owners with leather interiors should avoid wiping leather materials, as this can damage the interior. Additionally, chrome-plated and painted parts inside the car may fade due to alcohol corrosion, so car owners should also avoid wiping these areas when cleaning the interior.
