Urgent! Propane Alarm sounding

I fixed mine. I stopped cleaning!

Aired Out, reset sensor... seems OK... has not re sounded !!! thanks... Wife is much less concerned now. We will watch during cleaning as to what agents are present

Short answer is Yes. Ours goes off everytime I winterize and pour RV antifreeze into the P traps. Has done this for 3 years. Just air it out and it'll go back to acting normal.

* Some carpet cleaning chemicals

I am sure that there are even more common chemicals that can set a propane detector off.

Add smelly feet/socks to your list.

Grandson put his feet next to the detector and within a few secs.. set it off.

And it could be low battery or worn out alarm they have a life of about 7 years.

What he said. Let it dry and air out
