Use alcohol to clean electronic products in automotive accessories with caution, because alcohol is volatile and soluble, which may cause damage to certain materials and electronic components. Here are some suggestions and precautions for using alcohol to clean automotive electronics:
Situations where alcohol cleaning is recommended:
Screens and touch screens:
Isopropyl alcohol (usually isopropyl alcohol with a concentration of about 70%) can be used to clean screens and touch screens. Dip a soft cloth or a special screen cleaning cloth in a small amount of alcohol and gently wipe the surface of the screen to remove fingerprints and dirt.
Keys and switches:
For the surface of keys and switches, you can gently wipe with a cotton swab or soft cloth dipped in a small amount of alcohol to remove dirt and oil stains.
Situations where you need to be cautious or avoid using alcohol:
Plastic and rubber parts:
Alcohol may cause damage to certain types of plastic and rubber parts, causing surface discoloration or aging. Avoid spraying alcohol directly on these parts. You can choose to use mild soapy water or a special plastic cleaner.
Electronic contacts and circuit boards:
Avoid using alcohol to clean exposed electronic contacts and circuit boards. Alcohol may cause circuit shorts or damage components. It is recommended to use a special electronic cleaner or compressed air blower.
LCD display:
The surface coating of some LCD displays may be sensitive to alcohol, causing damage to the coating. Before using alcohol to clean, please check the product manual to ensure that the alcohol will not damage the display.
