Being the extreme germaphobe that I am, PlaneAire surface & air purifying travel mist has become my go-to sanitizing product. I love that it is made with pure organic essential oils and that it does not contain synthetic chemicals, alcohol or bleach. The scent is fresh and clean. There is no need to use sanitizing wipes with our travels anymore. It is easy to use just spray and go. This doesn’t have to just be used for traveling but can be used while shopping as well. You can spray the cart handle and no more worries. Another benefit of this product is that it is safe to use around children. The size of the bottle is a perfect size that can fit in a purse or carry on bag. This product would make a great stocking filler or gift!
