If you are living in a place or area which has very hot weather, you might want to take note on what items not to leave in your car.
There are many items that can be damaged, destroyed or even explode when left under very hot weather.
Recently, TikTok user @syahmibangperodua shared a video for other users on what items cannot be left in the car during hot weather. Take a look at his video below!
In the video, he shows a few items that cannot be put inside a car. The first item is air freshener sprays. You cannot put air freshener sprays in cars because if it leaks, it can cause an explosion.
Not only air freshener sprays that you need to worry about, any type of aerosol cans can be dangerous. Make sure you store them in a place where there is no sunlight!
The second item he shared is water bottles. Water bottles that still has water in it can become toxic if left under the sun or in cars. This is due to the plastic melting from the bottle mixing with the water.
The last item that cannot be put in cars is medicine. Medicine will spoil if left in cars with temperatures over 25 degrees Celsius. This will likely cause them to lose its effectiveness and forces you to throw them away.
