Travel With A Sanitizer

In this day of international travel where people from all over the world use the airlines, rent cars, stay in motels, and ride trains and buses it makes sense that we should avoid coming in contact with disease causing germs from these sources. Hygiene standards can vary quite a bit in different cultures. Awareness of microbes on objects does not exist in some parts of the world. Yet we can possibly interact with these individuals by touching things that they have handled.

This cross-contamination can be avoided by using a sanitizer. Ultraviolet sanitizers come in small and large sizes. They employ ultraviolet light to destroy microbes. The light waves interfere with the reproductive stage and so eliminate these germs. Holding the device over the area to be sanitized usually takes seconds to be affective. A pocket size purifier is very handy and can be carried in a purse or upper pocket. Airlines do not clean between passengers. A quick once over on head rests and arm rests can be accomplished easily with one of these miniature wands. Use it on the interior of a rental car also.

For items in your motel room a larger wand is recommended for the toilet seat, faucet handles, doorknobs, phones, menus and other reading material, and last but not least, the TV remote. The remote has been cultured and pronounced dirtier than a toilet seat. Maintenance crews never clean the remotes. The full size sanitizer wand covers a larger area and can be packed in your luggage. It does not take a germaphobe to realize that with more global travel we also have more global germs, so sanitizing is a preventive way of avoiding sickness, especially from foreign germs.
