Halloween is supposed to be scary—not to mention fun and memorable.

But the coronavirus has added a twist on the typical tricks and treats in 2020, where the frightening element is something you can’t see—but can undoubtedly catch, and worse, spread.

Suppose you are planning to partake in Halloween festivities this year. In that case, whether it’s a small gathering or socially distanced trick-or-treating, the key to success is precautions.

This goes beyond masks and six feet of separation, too. Much of the Halloween safety will rely on making sure hands are clean, surfaces are sanitized, and then repeated.

To that, the types of products you choose are equally important, which is something we learned during our introduction to Dr. Brite.

The women-owned company—led by doctors and sisters, Pooneh and Paris—has stepped in at the right time with a lineup of products that are not only effective but also don’t come packed with harsh or harmful ingredients.

They are truly changing the way we practice personal cleanliness, so if you’re planning to ensure your family’s Halloween is safe (and memorable and fun), we’d recommend considering these four Dr. Brite products to get you started …

The Citrus Castile Soap will keep hands (and so much more) clean

Step One on Halloween night will be keeping those hands clean, and Dr. Brite’s Citrus Castile Soap is a perfect go-to option. The multipurpose, anti-microbial formula is cruelty-free and vegan. Plus, it uses 100% vegetable-based ingredients—zero harsh detergents or sulfates—to get the job done.

The multifunctional aspect? It’s a one-stop cleansing shop (which we loved), as the non-toxic formula works for the face, hair, body, dishes, hard surfaces, household items, mopping, and more!

Trick-or-treating or at home, this Sanitizer Gel will work to keep hands sanitized and hydrated

One thing that we’ve learned in the past six months is that certain hand sanitizers can leave your hands feeling like you’ve been playing with sandpaper all day. The drying effect is a major deterrent.

But using a sanitizer is an important precaution, so we were delighted to see that Dr. Brite’s Hand Sanitizer takes some of the focus and places it on moisturizing, while also providing medical-grade Pure Isopropyl Alcohol that meets the CDC recommendations.

Two of the aspects that caught our eye—1) there is a version that comes on a keychain (perfect for the entire family, including young children, during Halloween night strolls!) and 2) each bottle sold means another is donated to a frontline or essential worker!

These Alcohol Wipes will be your answer to on-the-go and unexpected messes

If you’re heading out for a stroll with the trick-or-treaters, we’d recommend carrying Dr. Brite’s Alcohol Wipes the same as we’d remind you about the importance of reflective tape and using crosswalks.

An effective product that can handle on-the-go cleaning should be a must-have item during all days of the year—again, especially in the current environment. But being prepared for unexpected messes on Halloween is paramount.

We like Dr. Brite’s Alcohol Wipes because of the portability and the fact they go beyond the expected sticky hands and provide multipurpose cleaning. 

No bleaches, menthol or chlorine is a welcomed relief, too, and you’ll have confidence during these COVID-19 times that the wipes, like all Dr. Brite cleaning products, supply the same CDC-recommended Isopropyl Alcohol content.

The Multi-Purpose Spray will provide powerful cleaning before, during and after Halloween

We coined this product “The cleanup hitter” … whether it’s before, during or after Halloween, Dr. Brite’s Multi-Purpose Spray supplies a natural, non-toxic solution for cleaning hard surfaces (non-porous) where bacteria or odors are a concern.

Like the Alcohol Wipes, the versatile aspect complements the quality of the ingredients, making it an unmatched go-to cleaning product. And by versatile, we mean a true do-it-all: countertops, food preparation surfaces, floors, appliances, garbage cans, changing tables, high chairs, cribs, children’s toys, toilet seats, doorknobs, desks, pet habitats, and more.

Halloween 2021

One of the biggest issues that we’ve encountered—with a lot of products—is the expiration date. “Cost-effective” means more in 2020, for more families, so the last thing we want to deal with is making an additional purchase in six months because the half-used product has already expired.

That was a major bonus with Dr. Brite’s cleaning essentials. Besides being hospital grade—and cruelty-free, vegan, gluten-free, Sodium Lauryl Sulfate- free, non-GMO, plus FDA registered to kill all labeled pathogens—we loved that the products all have an 18-month shelf life.

That makes planning for the year ahead—and yes, Halloween 2021—a lot easier!
