Travelling is an adventure that opens the door to new experiences, cultures, and memories. Yet, amidst the excitement, maintaining hygiene often becomes a challenge. From crowded airports to road trips and exotic destinations, the exposure to germs and environmental pollutants increases. Packing the right hygiene essentials ensures your health and comfort during your journey.
Why Hygiene is Crucial While Traveling
While we explore new places, our immune systems can be more susceptible to unfamiliar bacteria and viruses. Poor hygiene practices while travelling can lead to stomach infections, flu, or skin problems, derailing the joy of your trip. Adopting simple measures can significantly reduce these risks, helping you and your family stay healthy.
Must-Have Hygiene Products for Travelers
1. Hand Sanitizer
Hand sanitisers with at least 60% alcohol kill most germs when soap and water aren’t available. It’s perfect for use after touching public surfaces like doorknobs, ATMs, or railings.
2. Antibacterial Wipes
Antibacterial wipes are versatile, helping clean surfaces, sanitize hands, or freshen up during long flights.
3. Paper Towels and Facial Tissues
- Why You Need Them: Useful for cleaning spills, wiping sweat, or sneezing, high-quality tissues prevent cross-contamination.
- Pro Tip: SAFNIC DryMax Maxi Rolls are durable, absorbent, and perfect for travel, while SAFNIC Facial Tissues offer comfort for sensitive skin.
4. Face Masks
- Why You Need Them: Protect yourself from airborne germs, especially in crowded places like airports or buses.
- Pro Tip: Carry extra masks to change after extended use or in humid conditions.
5. Cling Wrap and Aluminium Foil
- Why You Need Them: Essential for storing snacks or covering food to maintain hygiene and freshness.
- Pro Tip: SAFNIC’s cling wrap and aluminium foil are reliable options, ensuring secure packaging during your journey.
6. Travel-Size Toiletries
Compact versions of toothpaste, shampoo, and body wash are practical for short trips and adhere to airline liquid restrictions.
7. Disinfectant Spray
- Why You Need It: Spray disinfectants can sanitize hotel rooms, aeroplane trays, and even rental car interiors.
- Pro Tip: Choose eco-friendly options to minimize environmental impact.
8. Portable Prayer Mat
Maintaining a clean prayer mat while travelling is essential for Salah and peace of mind. Opt for a lightweight, washable mat that is easy to fold and store in a protective pouch to prevent exposure to dirt or spills. Before laying it down, ensure the surface is clean by wiping it with a tissue or cloth. If the mat becomes soiled, hand-wash it with mild detergent and air dry it to refresh its cleanliness. Designating a clean area for prayers and keeping your hands clean before and after handling the mat further ensures its hygiene.
Hygiene Tips for Travelers
1. Wash Hands Frequently
- Regularly wash your hands with soap and water, especially before eating or touching your face.
- Pro Tip: Dry them thoroughly with SAFNIC paper towels to avoid moisture-related germs.
2. Stay Hydrated
Carry a reusable water bottle to stay hydrated. Remember to clean it daily with safe water.
