It’s no secret that disinfectant gel is flammable. Nevertheless, authorities warn against flammability, because it is sometimes forgotten and that can lead to very dangerous situations.
Car
Do you have a bottle of disinfectant gel in the car? Then put it in the glove compartment or in a place out of the sun. The bottle, in combination with heat and direct sunlight, can cause a fire.
Open fire
But even if you have disinfected your own hands, you have to be careful with open fire. The fire brigade warned about this earlier this year. After disinfecting your hands, it is not wise to light a cigarette or light a candle. The use of the barbecue or a fire pit is also dangerous.
Therefore, wait a while until the alcohol on your hands has completely evaporated before you go near an open fire.
