They have a convenient spray that allows you to test the sensor
elements of a smoke detector

(most alarms have no way to test the sensors when you press the test
button)

Is there a similar aerosol or method of thoroughly testing a CO
detector?
I couldn't find anything from a web search

Thanks

Ya, take it in the garage (with the doors open) and start your push mower.
It should go off pretty quick. Those small engines really put it out..

I forget what brand I have -- I can check -- but when I called them
with a question I asked about putting it near the furnace to check if
it was working and the woman on the phone said not to, that it would
overload and ruin the sensor, I think.
