Thanks to the successful rollout of the Covid-19 vaccine, we can finally start to think about the possibility of traveling during the pandemic. But while the numbers may be down, we still have to  remain cautious and take the basic steps (masking up, washing hands frequently, and keeping socially distant) to ensure our health and safety while on vacation. With that in mind, one item you will want to toss into your carry-on is a travel-size bottle of Disinfect & Shield 24 Hour Face Mask/Fabric Sanitizer.

Unlike traditional disinfectants on the market, Disinfect & Shield is non-toxic and completely safe for use around humans, animals, and plants. Disinfect & Shield has been tested to destroy viruses, bacteria, molds, and fungi, including strains of SARS, H1N1, E. Coli, EBOLA and harmful microbes including COVID-19 on contact.

When used as directed, Disinfect & Shield spray creates a film on the surface of the mask and does not interfere with or modify the waterproof or filtering properties of the mask.  This mask/fabric sanitizer is an alcohol free SHIELD formulation, and designed for use on porous or nonporous surfaces . The spray will begin to work as soon as a microorganism comes in contact with the surface of the mask.

Before putting on your mask for the day, apply 2 or 3 sprays directly on the outer surface of the mask. The mask will dry in minutes and can be worn immediately after spraying – leaving you feeling protected.  I especially like this product because I prefer to wear the KN95 masks, and this spray helps keep them fresh and germ-free when I am wearing this type of mask for just a few hours a day over the course of several  days.

Whether you are spraying a new mask to provide antimicrobial protection on its surface, or disinfecting a used mask so it can be re-worn if needed, the spray is equally effective  on reusable fabric or disposable masks.  I’m planning to go on my first holiday in a year in a couple of weeks, and I am looking forward to  taking this spray ‘on the road’ so that I feel confident and safe as I travel. Disinfect & Shield is not yet available for purchase on line, but you can pre-order a bottle by sending the company an email at contact@disinfectandshield.com. Safe Travels to all!
