Diary of a Germaphobe Mom

I sanitized everything when traveling.  I did it before Covid19, and I do it now.  I remember when my family would make fun of me as I pulled out the Lysol wipes and spray and made my way around any hotel room we stayed at even the 5-star luxury hotels. 

My husband and daughter would roll their eyes when I exclaim "Don't Touch ANYTHING" as I sprayed every flat area with disinfectant.  I even purchased scented stuff for the sake of my husband. 

Since Covid19 I've gotten worse.  I now carry hand sanitizer that I use liberally.  I love hand sanitizer! I use it for a variety of things on the road. 

Here are some of hand sanitizer's uses: 

I use it to clean off restaurant tables 

It works as a utensil cleaner 

You can use it instead of a public bathroom sink (I recommend using it AFTER you open and close the bathroom doors!) 

It makes for a good spot remover (Spot check the fabric first) 

Cleaning makeup brushes on the road is a snap with alcohol-based hand sanitizers 

Spray sanitizers work well to disinfect dirty public areas. 

I also carry a can of Lysol in the diaper bag so the baby doesn't catch anything when we change diapers. 

 Being a germaphobe has become a good thing in a post Covid19 world. I have noticed that my family suffers from less illness since we've incorporated sanitizing into our everyday life and more so when we travel.
