Spraying Rooms with Lysol

[twosiamesecats]

My husband thinks I'm crazy when I bring my Lysol when we're traveling. When I first get into my motel room, I spray the toilet, sink, door knobs, t.v. controller, phone, and lamp switch with lysol. Does anyone else do this too?

[mydisneygirls]

I never do it. If you think about it, you spray the room but when you leave, you are touching elevator buttons, holding handrails on the bus/monorail, holding safety bars on rides, etc!!!

BUT.........if it makes you feel better, then what the hay!

[BrerGnat]

I bring clorox wipes (the travel pack) and use them on the remote control in the room, and in the event that someone gets sick, they are handy to disinfect surfaces in the bathroom. Someone ALWAYS gets sick on our vacations.

No, I wear latex gloves and a surgical mask while on vacation...

[JoDisney]

Yes, I bring Lysol Spray. I do not think it is strange or odd. In addition, I always spray it into the the air conditioner/heater outflow vent, as my sons have allergies. It helps tremendously. It is extremely apparent when I do not spray immediately. I would not be without the Lysol Spray.

You are not alone. I travel for business regularly and always bring Lysol spray, Clorox wipes, and a bottle with pump of GermX. Call me crazy, but I've been sickened before

[Tigerinvestigator]

Maybe I'm crazy but I would rather die a horrible death from the germs I catch in my WDW resort hotel room than have it smell like lysol.......the smells of disney are what I love most. Then again I was raised in Tennessee, ate bugs, played in the dirt, work in law enforcement, my wife is a nurse, my daughters are in school, so I have a pretty good immune system.......actually now that I think about it, I'm the one that is causing you to spray your rooms! lol

[Disney Hungarian]

In addition to the regular Lysol, I bring Lysol for fabrics. That elevator button or hand rail has probably never had the body parts touch it that the bedspread in the rooms has. Makes me cringe thinking about it.

[Mickey'sGirl]

Actually I am allergic to Lysol, and to aerosols in general, so no we do not spray. I probably should as my immune system is suppressed, but I don't. Maybe it's time to bring a thingy of Clorox wipes with me to wipe down the phone and tv convertor? My youngest son is sensory seeking and puts EVERYTHING into his mouth ... I can't imagine the germs he has already "picked up" in his 8 years.

[Basket Mommy]

We keep Lysol spray and Lysol wipes in our Owner's Locker. The kids get to do the honors as soon as we get to the room. I just like knowing that things are super sanitized. Yes, we touch things throughout the day, but we use hand sanitizer and wash hands as much as we can. I'm not a germophobe at all, but I've seen too many TV specials about how dirty hotel rooms are. Even at Disney I don't trust that they clean things thoroughly enough for me. One stomach bug at Disney was all it took for me to make sure things are clean!

[AllDisney]

I wipe everything down in the room when we first check in. We have wipes to use at the parks to wipe our hands after touching the safety bars on the rides, door knobs, railings etc. It saves having to wash our hands all the time in the bathrooms.

[MargaretMessler]

I always travel with santitizer wipes and pocket tubes of hand sanitizer, but I don't necessarily go over everything when we get there. I just like to make sure we have it because you never know what you might come across.

[brownie]

I just wash my hands.

[BIGDOG]

I remember back in the 90's 2 days before we were leaving on one of out Disney trips, my oldest son then 10yrs. came down with the Chicken pocs. We took him to his Dr. explained our situation, his advise; go have fun and give somthing back to world.
Lysol will help with many things but not everything.

[Kairi_7378]

I have never sprayed a room or wiped it when checking in for a vacation. Maybe I am the wierd one.

However, a spray bottle or a pack of wipes doesn't take up that much room in a suitcase and doesn't need to be brought home, so to me it is a small price to pay if it will make you feel better.

[tdk316]

Depends on where we are staying. During our most recent trip to WL I put the bedspreads in the closet (ick!) but at BLT where the comforters get washed (right...?!) I'll use them. I always wipe down the remote, phone and key for the safe and whatever else happens to be handy at the moment. Otherwise, even at home, it's typically safer to eat off your toilet set than your kitchen counter so I don't worry about it too much. Now when we were in Thailand it was another story... squat toilets anyone?

[Katzateer]

I always take the bedspreads off and we don't sit on them. Other than that, I have never done any extra cleaning. I do like the idea of the Lysol for the tv control and phone. I clean the phone at work all the time but never bring anything to use to clean at WDW (I work in a pharmacy and we are always disinfecting ).

But how do you get the Lysol through security at the airports?

[ANG]

I bring lysol wipes and just rub down the remotes, phones, door knobs, etc. Just the once. And use hand sanitizer in the parks.

As a PP stated, my son is also sensory seeking and chews on everything.

People spend thousands of dollars for these trips. They aren't going to cancel if they get sick (most times).

[ANG]

Shouldn't be a problem if it's in your suitcase. It's no different than hairspray. They also make travel Lysol sprays

[AmandaChan]

I would hope to god that they disinfect the toilet and sink but I could see spraying the controller, for example b/c I'm sure it gets overlooked and it's hard telling how germy stuff like that is.
