Clorox wipes on an airplane?

[Anonymous]

How crazy will I look if I wipe down the tray table and armrests for myself and family when I fly next week?

And will I be able to get Clorox wipes through security?

Not crazy. Wipe down the bathroom too if you're brave enough to use it.

Hoping to avoid the bathroom on the airplane. I'm pretty good at holding it.

Not crazy at all. I've used the travel packs of disinfecting wipes on airplanes. No problem getting them on the plane. I routinely wipe down the armrests and tray tables. Nobody's ever paid much attention.

Smart. The filthiest place on airplanes are the tray table and the pocket in front of you. Airlines rarely have the time to clean them.

Every SINGLE time I fly, I stuff enough Clorox Wipes in a ziplock bag for the flight there and back (one per seat, per flight and two extras). Security never blinks. I've been doing this since 2005.

Sometimes people sitting nearby would give me "you're way too anal" looks, but DH has poor immunity and since I began doing this, he no longer gets sick after each flight.

I do this with normal anti-bacterial wipes everytime I fly with kids. Nobody cares. But just make sure nobody in the vicinity is sensitive to bleach fumes -- they can cause a pretty severe reaction in an enclosed area.

How would you make sure no one had a bleach reaction?

I carry a roll of plastic cling wrap and wrap the tray table and armrests.

I just ordered a box of face antiviral face masks. I don't care how ridiculous I look. Maybe I'll start a trend

My kids have peanut allergies, so I always wipe down the tray and arm rests. The wipe is always grubby after I use it - ew.

Fly 4-5 times a month and have done it for years. Airplanes are disgusting.

You do know Chlorox wipes aren't bleach, right?
