4 seemingly harmless things left in cars under the hot sun can cause consequences for users

The weather in many provinces and cities across the country is entering the hot season. In recent days, many localities have recorded temperatures during the day that can reach over 38 degrees, and at noon in some places it can even be over 40 degrees. In hot weather, cars parked in locations exposed to direct sunlight after about 20 - 30 minutes, can make the temperature inside the car's interior 10 - 20 degrees Celsius higher than outside.

Using a car on a hot sunny day, everyone knows that when parking under the sun, you should absolutely not leave items such as electronic products (phones, mobile chargers) or lighters, hand sanitizers, etc. in the car to avoid fire or explosion. However, in addition to these items, there are 4 other seemingly harmless items, but if you often leave them in the car and park the car under the sun, they will affect the details in the car's interior.

Milk products in glass bottles

Bottled milk products are something that many people often accidentally forget in the car interior, especially those who often eat and drink in the car or often use the car to take their children to school. Bottled milk, whether cow's milk or soy milk, is very easy to spoil if not stored properly. On hot sunny days, milk in glass bottles left in the car interior will create a lot of pressure inside the glass bottle and can cause an explosion. In addition, spoiled milk will spread throughout the car, giving off a foul smell and is difficult to clean.

Canned or bottled soft drinks

Soft drinks in cans or bottles, especially carbonated drinks, are often used by many people traveling by car during the hot season to quench their thirst. When the temperature in the car increases, the soft drinks in cans or bottles will change to some extent, affecting the health of the user. In particular, when the car is parked in the sun for many hours, the heat continuously accumulates in the bottle, the soft drink can will create a lot of pressure and can explode.

Not only carbonated soft drinks, health experts also recommend that car users should not leave bottles of mineral water inside the car, especially in hot weather. Because high temperatures can make drinking water in plastic bottles toxic. In addition, transparent plastic bottles are also like a glass reflecting sunlight, which can be enough to absorb heat.

Sunglasses

In hot weather, to avoid glare while driving, many people often bring sunglasses and sun glasses in the car. However, glasses are also a piece of glass. If you leave glasses in the car for a long time, they will get hot, the frames may warp or worse, the sunlight reflection can affect some details in the car's interior. Although the possibility of this happening is very small, it is best to store your glasses in the car's glove box or a dedicated glasses compartment.

Types of scented wax

Many car owners often hang scented waxes in their cars to create a scent. However, in hot weather, if the car is parked in the sun for many hours, the high temperature in the car can cause the scented wax to deform. Even under the influence of sunlight, some scented waxes hung in the car can melt, causing damage to the details on the dashboard.
