Can You Spray Alcohol for Disinfection Inside a Car?
2 Answers
You can spray alcohol for disinfection inside a car. Here are some precautions when using alcohol for disinfection in the car: 1. Wipe it dry immediately after spraying alcohol for disinfection: Alcohol is a flammable and explosive product. If you use alcohol for disinfection, wipe it dry immediately and keep the car windows open in a well-ventilated environment. Try to spray on the surface of objects and avoid spraying in hidden or hard-to-reach areas inside the car. 2. Do not smoke in the car or close the windows after disinfection: As the temperature rises and reaches the ignition point of alcohol, there is a high possibility of explosion or fire.
I recommend being cautious when using alcohol sprays for car disinfection. As a parent who frequently shuttles children, I'm particularly concerned about vehicle safety. Alcohol is a flammable substance, and spraying it in an enclosed cabin can easily cause a fire if it encounters static electricity or sparks from the cigarette lighter. Moreover, high-concentration alcohol can corrode leather seats and plastic panels—my friend's car door handle turned white and stiff from long-term alcohol spraying. A better approach is to use alcohol wipes to clean high-touch areas like door handles and the steering wheel, ensuring targeted disinfection safely. For thorough disinfection, consider purchasing car-specific chlorine-based disinfectant sprays or opting for ozone sterilization services at a detailing shop. After all, the car interior is a confined space, and safety should always come first.
