Because everywhere a woman travels her purse is sure to follow, memorize Bagsok.com 5 ways to keep your favorite handbag bacteria free, so you won’t get sick.

Some important findings about the handbags:

1) Material matters. Cloth bags carry more dirt than leather bags. The cloth surface has a tendency to grab not only dirt and grime, but bacteria and viruses as well.

2) Moms have dirtier, bacteria-filled handbags than single ladies. Mommies with kiddies have a higher incident of bacteria and germs than those women without.

So how do we keep our designer handbags, bacteria free?

1) Clean your handbag with disinfectant regularly. Wipe off your bag with a mild detergent, especially the bottom of your bag.

2) Remember, handbags, bacteria and food don’t mix. Keep handbags off kitchen countertops, restaurant and dinner tables and away from general eating and cooking environments.

3) Keep your designer handbag off the floor, in public places. The public bathroom stall, movie theater floor or other public area are not proper receptacles or resting places for your handbag.

4) Old makeup and unwrapped food should be discarded and never placed in your handbag. Those old tubes of mascara and lip glosses provide the perfect environment for bacterial growth.
Similarly, your handbag is not the best place to store any unwrapped food. Even that sandwich, wrapped in paper, can find unsuspecting bacteria to keep it company.

5) Handle everyday items with care, before you drop them into your favorite bag. Remember, mobile phones, newspapers and money carry germs too.

Give your designer handbag the white glove treatment it deserves. Keep the bacteria far away from your handbag with a little disinfectant, a whole lot of love and a few sprinkles of common sense.
