Winter travel can be both exciting and challenging, especially when it comes to staying germ-free. The colder months bring an increase in colds, flu, and other viruses, so keeping your hands clean is more important than ever. Here are some winter travel tips to help you stay safe and healthy on the go.
1. Pack Travel-Friendly Sanitisers
When travelling, it's essential to have a hand sanitiser that's easy to carry. Opt for small, TSA-approved bottles that fit into your bag or pocket. Palmtree Hygiene Foaming Hand Sanitiser comes in a 100ml size, which is perfect for carrying on the plane, as it meets the travel liquid restrictions. Made from palm tree sap, this eco-friendly sanitiser is gentle on your skin, leaving it soft and nourished without the dryness other alcohol-based sanitisers can cause. Plus, it’s vegan and free from harmful chemicals. Learn more about our products at Palmtree Hygiene.
2. Focus on High-Touch Areas
Public spaces are filled with high-touch surfaces that can harbour germs. Make sure to sanitise areas like:
Airport kiosks
Plane seatbelts, armrests, and tray tables
Hotel room door handles and light switches
Public transport handrails
Keep a travel-sized bottle of Palmtree Hygiene sanitiser handy to quickly sanitise these surfaces, especially when soap and water aren't available. Our sanitisers are effective for both hands and high-touch areas, ensuring you stay germ-free wherever you go.
3. Sanitise Before and After Eating
When you’re travelling, it’s not always easy to wash your hands before meals. To avoid transferring germs to your food, make it a habit to sanitise before and after eating. Palmtree Hygiene Foaming Hand Sanitiser comes in both coconut and fragrance-free options, perfect for sensitive hands while keeping you clean and safe from bacteria.
4. Protect Your Skin
Cold air and frequturises. Palmtree Hygiene Foaming Hand Sanitiser is enriched with vitamins and amino acids from palm sap, which nourish and hydrate your skin, unlike other alcohol-based sanitisers that can leave your hands feeling rough.
5. Sanitise Your Personal Items
Your luggage and personal items can also carry germs, especially if you place them on public transport or in hotel rooms. Disinfect your bags, phones, keys, and wallets with sanitising wipes or sprays. Keep a small bottle of Palmtree Hygiene Sanitiser in an easily accessible pocket for quick use during your travels.
6. Don’t Forget Your Mask
While masks are not a sanitiser, they’re a crucial part of protecting yourself from airborne germs, especially in crowded or enclosed spaces. Carry a few extra masks during your travels to stay safe.
7. Consistency is Key
Make it a habit to sanitise your hands regularly, especially after touching high-contact areas, handling luggage, or using public transport. Setting reminders on your phone can help ensure you stay consistent.
