Not Just RV Parks and Campgrounds....
When I first thought about starting this blog my intention was to focus on RV parks / campgrounds, etc.
However, the more I travel, the more I realize that cleanliness in any/every restroom is essential!
Therefore, I'll be posting information on restaurants, truckstops, rest areas.... In other words, bathrooms everywhere.
But before we get much furhter into our bathroom blues, let's talk about things you might need to carry when you are going to be using the bathhouse at a RV park or campground...
We know the basics (shampoo, conditioner, soap or body wash, washcloth and towel, brush or comb, hand/body lotion). You'd be surprised at how many times I got to the restroom and realized I forgot something. LOL!
I like to wear cheap flipflops while in the shower. We don't realize how very porous our feet are and, well, I just feel better with something between me and all those germs on the shower stall floor.
Another good idea is to carry a can of disinfectant spray. Especially if the thought of what all might take place in a shower stall gives you the heebeejeebees. I'm not going to get graphic with this but any number and kind of cooties could be lingering on those walls and floors.
Disinfectant wipes are a plus also for wiping the toilet seat down before you use it. These are great to carry in your purse or vehicle and grab a couple when you stop anywhere and use the restroom.
If you implement either of these last two ideas, be a sweetheart and spray/wipe the facilities down after your use for the next person's safety. Or at least their peace of mind.
I know some folks who use baby/flushable wipes instead of or addition to the toilet paper provided (which is usually the thinest, lowest quality, cheapest to be found). Be careful if you choose to do this. Not every restroom has a trashcan in the stalls. Although many of these wipes claim to be biodegradable, they're not always the best option because they don't break down as easily as toilet paper. That could cause problems for the campground's sewer system.
And, of course if you're tent camping at a RV park or campground, you'll want to include toothbrush, tooth paste, floss, etc in your toiletries. Most have electrical outlets so blow dryers can be used if you worry about that while camping.
Just a few travel bathroom tips for you today.
Until next time, remember public/personal safety is your responsibility just as much as the next guy's. 😊
