Is this too unpleasant to do even in the circumstances?!

We have to catch a flight this evening and our bedding is not in a good state after a night and day of sickness bug. I have no time to now wash it. Is it too awful to leave it on and wash when we return? It’s cheap bedding and I’m now wondering if we throw it out rather than leave it?!

I don't think this thread went quite the way OP expected!

Are you seriously going to get on a flight with an active stomach bug? That’s completely out of order if you do.

We have silver round washing up bowls under kids beds. They are used for nothing else.

Also give people sick bowls next time! Only the toddler in our house doesn’t manage to get to an appropriate receptacle!

Quickest wash and then leave over the banister and you can rewash when you return. If not bin.

I would always immediately strip the beds to avoid getting vomit fluids on mattresses. Can’t you put it all through a quick wash (most washers have a 20 minute wash) then throw it over your shower enclosure/ curtain rail/ doors so its fresh? Then do a proper wash when you get back?

I wouldnt fly if I had a sickness bug, the poor other passengers being exposed to your germs.

Urgh! Chuck it and put clean bedding on when you get back.

You’re getting on a plane with a D&V bug? 😟

Should you really be getting on a plane if you've got a sickness bug?
You'll smite everyone else on there
