Travel Tips by Theresa: prevent suitcase messes

I can hear you groaning, you know. You just opened your suitcase and everything is coated with a thick, sticky mess. Your shampoo is everywhere.

You can prevent these messes by replacing the pump or flip-top cap of containers that hold shampoo, conditioner, lotion, sunscreen, or the like. Use a screw top lid from a 20 oz. soda bottle. For extra protection, place the bottle in a reclosable plastic bag.

And if you forgot to do this, hopefully you remembered your laundry detergent. Fill a disposable spice container that has a shaker top with powdered detergent. Shake a small amount into the bathroom sink, fill, and wash away!

  1. Ah now I've not thought about the detergent, I'd be worried about 'white powder' investigations but may try it next time we're away.

  2. Nobody ever questioned my white powder! I think the smell would be obvious to the drug-sniffing dogs.
