This is why I stop at the Dollar Store before trips to pick up a couple flat packs of Lysol wipes - everything gets wiped down, armrests, table trays, walls, seat belts, air vents, AVOD screens, etc - anything i might touch or come into contact with. Flying business in a lie flat - I'm at about 5 minutes+ of wiping tables, resting spaces, shelves, etc and the inside wall of the seat shell where the seatback slides down for sleeping. These aircraft travel the world coming into contact with who-knows-what, and I don't trust my immune system that much.

A cool Pavlovian trick when flying domestic F is to take your hot towel and begin wiping your tray table, then wait to see how may people notice and then start doing the same thing - my record is triggering half the cabin to start wiping as the visual cascaded from my seat to my seat mate, to across the aisle, to the next row, and so on.
