It is commonly used as a solvent and cleaning agent in spot removers and fabric cleaners, film cleaner, insecticides, paint and varnish remover, degreaser, typewriter correction fluid, and as an aerosol propellant. Trichloroethane is absorbed by inhalation and ingestion. It is an irritant to the eyes and nose and can result in central nervous depression and liver and kidney damage if ingested.
