Is It Safe to Spray Alcohol in the Car?
1 Answers
Spraying alcohol in the car is safe, but the vehicle must be turned off and kept in a non-operational state, while ensuring proper ventilation. Since 75% alcohol has a flash point around 22°C and evaporates quickly, car owners must ensure there are no open flames nearby and control the amount of alcohol used to avoid high airborne alcohol concentrations that could lead to explosions. After disinfecting the car, avoid smoking inside or closing the windows completely, as rising temperatures reaching the alcohol's ignition point may cause explosions or fires. Additionally, wiping surfaces with alcohol may damage genuine leather seats, so extra caution is needed.
