Can Alcohol Be Used to Disinfect the Interior of a Car?
1 Answers
Alcohol can be used to disinfect the interior of a car, and it is recommended to use a wiping method instead of direct spraying. Precautions for using alcohol: Before using 75% medical alcohol to disinfect the vehicle, the owner needs to turn off the engine and ensure the car is not in operation. At the same time, it is important to keep the car well-ventilated. Since the ignition point of 75% medical alcohol is around 22°C and alcohol evaporates quickly, the owner must ensure there are no open flames nearby and control the amount of alcohol used to avoid high alcohol concentration in the air, which could lead to an explosion. To achieve the effect of disinfection and sterilization, the owner should use 75% medical alcohol. If the alcohol concentration is too low, it will not be effective. Alcohol molecules have strong permeability, allowing them to penetrate the bacterial membrane, enter the bacteria, and coagulate the proteins that form the basis of bacterial life, thereby killing the bacteria. Method of using alcohol: It is recommended to use alcohol to wipe the car's interior. However, it must be noted that alcohol should only be applied to plastic panels, soft plastics, and artificial leather parts. Since alcohol may damage surface coatings, it is best to use a small amount of alcohol and wipe it dry immediately, or dilute the alcohol-wiped surface with a damp cloth for better results.
