10 Things…

…to not leave in your car during the hot summer months (along with kids and pets!):

Some of these I knew, but some I didn’t ever think about.

  1. Crayons
  2. Lipstick
  3. Soda cans (unopened)
  4. Bottled water
  5. Sunglasses
  6. CDs
  7. Electronics
  8. Lighters
  9. Medicine – any kinds
  10. Aerosol sprays

I did not know that if left in a hot car that the chemicals in the bottle can leech to the water.

I also didn’t know that lenses of sunglasses could warp in the heat – you would think the manufacturer would make them warp-proof (is that even possible?).

Electronics is a good one. Our car stereos are electronics – what if you can’t pull that sucker out. I know not to leave my cellphone in the car, but never thought anything of leaving my iPod in there.

Lighters and aerosol cans have always been something I’ve been afraid to leave in a vehicle when the temperatures sour. If I do, I won’t touch them or open the console until I am positive they are cooled down.

CDs? No wonder half of my stuff doesn’t play anymore.

Have a great Thursday everyone! Stay cool and safe!
