How Long Does It Take for Alcohol Sprayed in a Car to Evaporate Completely?

Generally, alcohol sprayed inside a car takes about 10 minutes to evaporate completely. Below are specific details about using alcohol for car disinfection: 1. To achieve effective disinfection and sterilization, car owners need to use 75% concentration medical alcohol. If the alcohol concentration is too low, it will not be effective in killing germs. Alcohol molecules have strong permeability, allowing them to penetrate the surface membrane of bacteria, enter their interior, coagulate the proteins essential for bacterial life, and thus kill the bacteria. 2. Before using alcohol to disinfect the vehicle, car owners should turn off the engine and ensure the car is not in operation. It is also important to maintain proper ventilation inside the car. Since 75% alcohol has a flash point around 22°C 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 airborne alcohol concentration, which could lead to an explosion.

After spraying alcohol in the car, the evaporation time is quite fast, but it entirely depends on the specific situation. When I usually disinfect my car, I find that with the windows open for ventilation and high temperatures, it might dry completely in about 5 minutes; if it's winter with the windows closed, it could take over half an hour. A small amount of alcohol evaporates quickly, while a larger amount takes longer. Alcohol is highly volatile and evaporates upon contact with air, but be cautious with the car's interior materials—spraying too much might damage plastic or leather. Additionally, safety first—don't start the car immediately after spraying; it's best to wait until the smell has completely dissipated. Extra caution is needed during summer heat, as alcohol vapor is flammable; try to keep the windows open for about ten minutes after spraying to ventilate.
