We all know traveling isn’t always the cleanest, especially when it comes to airports. Did you know that a recent study found that airport security bins are the leading place for germs to spread? And check-in touchscreens are dirtier than toilet seats - grab that mobile ticket stat!!  Want more dirt on traveling? 

1. Restroom stall latches are rarely disinfected.

2. Armrests and seats in waiting areas collect bacteria.

3. Doorhandles are covered in germs. 

4. Soap dispensers are touched by dirty hands while Sink faucets are a virtual petri dish for toxins.  Need we mentino toilet handles?! 

5. Paper towel dispensers – Handled right after using the toilet.

Like most travelers, it is always best to be prepared while traveling on an airplane. Most people tend to bring hand sanitizer, disinfecting wipes, or even masks to protect themselves from germs. With quick turnaround times for airplanes, the planes don’t always get as clean as people might think. With a constant flow of passengers coming and going, it also makes it extremely hard to make sure everything is germ free. Here are some of the grossest fakes about traveling on an airplane:

1. Airplane tray tables are the dirtiest surface onboard.

2. Seatbelt buckles – Almost never wiped down between passengers.

3. Fabric seats trap sweat, skin, and germs

4. Air vents, headrests, and seatbacks are touched constantly

5. Bathrooms get gross fast aboard planes

6. Overhead bins rarely get cleaned

7. Used Blankets and Pillows – Rarely washed between flights.

8. Uncleaned Airplane Carpets – Trap dirt, dust, and bacteria.

9. Dirty Screens – Personal TV screens touched by many without being disinfected.
