Cleaning items
Bringing some of my own items to tidy/clean give me a peace of mind when traveling. While it isn't for everyone, here are some items that make my stay more comfortable for me!
With so many high-touch surfaces in a hotel, this is the most important cleaning item I bring for: remotes, door handles, tables/nightstands, headboards, bathrooms, etc.
Clorox Disinfecting Travel Wipes, Fresh, 9ct x24
I like to use this to spray down the shower floor and toilet. Germs - goodbye!
Lysol - Disinfectant Spray To Go
If your hotel room smells just a little off, this should take care of it!
Ozium Air Sanitizer: OZIUM® Air Sanitizer Cleans the Air You ...
I don't clean without my gloves.
SAFESKIN Nitrile Gloves - Safeskin
I keep this in my travel cleaning bag just in case I handle something gross and can't get to the sink immediately.
Touchland - Hand Sanitizer Spray
My absolute favorite hand sanitizing wipes. Made with alcohol, I prefer to use this for true hand sanitization.
Sani-Hands® Instant Hand Sanitizing Wipes
This is what I use to keep my gloves, disinfectant wipes, and disinfectant spray all together and organized. I love that these are plastic so if a product leaks or spills, it’ll be a swift clean up!
Reusable Plastic Sandwich Bags- Blue and Green by Brightstar Products
I find this bottle easiest to travel with since it’s slender. With most hotels not having liquid hand soap, I bring my own.
Aloe Scent Liquid Hand Soap - Antibacterial & Sensitive
Comfort items
Who knows how many faces have been on the pillow you're putting your face directly onto? Hotel pillows always used to make me break out but not anymore since using these.
If duvets are too hot/heavy for you, consider bringing a travel blanket and using that instead. This helps me to feel cooler!
Travel Blanket
As someone who runs hot and hotel A.C. doesn't stay running all night long, this is PERFECT!
Venty Fan Rechargeable & Portable Fan - 48-Hour Battery Life
I will never walk barefoot in a hotel so I always like to have a rubber “slipper” or sandal with me. I say rubber because you can slip them on right after a shower without them getting gross and can easily be wiped off after returning from a trip.
Crocs
Snoring, noisy neighboors, and regular outside noise can be extremely disruptive to your sleep. Try these out! I've been using for years.
Mack's Ear Plugs
Not all hotel rooms have blackout curtains. If you're sensitive to lights/sunlight, this is great for catching a few extra Zzzs.
Eye mask
I like to go to sleep feeling moisturized! Using this on my lips helps keep them comfy with the dry hotel A.C. air.
Aquaphor
The BEST lotion I've ever used on my dry hands. You need this.
La Roche-Posay - Lipikar Body Lotion
Sometimes after a long day of travel, your tummy might be unsettled by the time you check in to your hotel or rental, here's something to hold you over.
Mint Candy
Packing items
Now that I know how much more organized packing cubes can make your trip, I'll never pack without them again! Makes packing suchhh a breeze.

I got this as a present and it's one of the best quality suitcases I've come across… oh, and it's adorable!
Beis - Carry-On Suitcase
I love using this for whatever doesn't fit in my main luggage. It even has a shoe compartment on the bottom!
BÉIS 'The Weekender' in Atlas Pink
This is the most spacious and durable cosmetic case that I own. I used it on a cross-country trip and it held up to the task perfectly!!! The only cosmetic case you'll ever need again.
Calpak - Large Clear Cosmetics Case
Don't let your gross shoes touch all your clean clothes and such in your suitcase! Use these shoe bags to keep everything together.
