Is it safe to use alcohol for disinfection inside the car?
2 Answers
It is possible to use alcohol spray for disinfection inside the car, but please note that alcohol is a flammable and explosive product. After using alcohol spray for disinfection, it should be wiped dry immediately. Keep the car windows open in a well-ventilated environment, and try to spray on the surface of objects, avoiding hidden or hard-to-reach areas inside the car. After disinfection, never smoke inside the car or close the windows, as when the temperature rises to the ignition point of alcohol, there is a high possibility of explosion or fire. After wiping with alcohol, if the car has genuine leather seats, damage may occur, so car owners should pay special attention.
Yes, using alcohol for disinfection inside the car is completely feasible. I often disinfect my car to maintain hygiene, especially high-touch areas like the steering wheel or door handles. However, the key is to pay attention to safety. High-concentration alcohol can easily ignite in summer or enclosed spaces, and high temperatures inside the car may cause problems. Additionally, alcohol can corrode plastic or genuine leather interiors, and long-term use may lead to surface cracking or fading. It is recommended to use medical alcohol with about 70% concentration, spray it onto a soft cloth and then wipe, rather than spraying directly onto the interior. When operating, turn off the air conditioning to avoid sparks, and remember to open the windows for ventilation for at least 15 minutes after completion to allow the alcohol to evaporate. If the car has been modified with electronic equipment, it is even more important to avoid circuits to prevent damage. Overall, disinfection is effective, but taking precautions is key.
