Additionally, airplane restrooms are often less than pristine. Even after washing your hands, it’s wise to use antibacterial wipes or tissues to further reduce your exposure to germs. These wipes can be particularly useful when you need to touch surfaces that may not have been cleaned thoroughly, such as the tray table. It’s worth noting that these tables can serve multiple purposes, and some passengers may have used them for changing diapers or other activities before you sit down to eat.
To protect your health, it’s advisable to wipe down the tray table with an antibacterial tissue before placing your food on it. This simple step can significantly reduce your risk of coming into contact with harmful bacteria.
