A method for inhibiting a flash point of trans-1,2-dichloroethylene (T-1,2-DCE) and a use of T-1,2-DCE are provided. The T-1,2-DCE has an excellent cleaning effect and is environmental friendly but cannot be used alone because of huge safety hazard caused by its low flash point. 1-chloro-3,3,3-trifluoropropene (HCFO-1233zd) is used to inhibit the flash point of T-1,2-DCE. However, because the actual boiling points of these two substances are quite different, the two substances are easily separated at a slightly-high ambient temperature. Because a boiling point of HCFO-1233zd is extremely low, HCFO-1233zd will escape rapidly, resulting in the loss of inhibition on the flash point. In the present disclosure, T-1,2-DCE and 1-chloro-2,3,3-trifluoropropene are mixed to prepare a mixed solution, and the mixed solution can effectively maintain the inhibition on the flash point of T-1,2-DCE in various ambient temperatures, such that the T-1,2-DCE can be heated to generate a steam for cleaning.
