Can the Interior of a Car Be Disinfected with Alcohol?
1 Answers
Car interiors can be disinfected with alcohol, but the car must be turned off and kept 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 degrees Celsius and evaporates quickly, car owners must ensure there are no open flames nearby and be cautious with the amount of alcohol used to avoid high concentrations in the air, which could lead to an explosion. Seventy-five percent alcohol is effective in deactivating viruses because alcohol molecules have strong permeability, allowing them to penetrate the membrane of bacteria, enter their interior, and coagulate the proteins that form the basis of bacterial life, thereby killing the bacteria.
