You take your purse into a public restroom with you correct? You flush the toilet, and there goes all that toilet water into the air, onto you and ALL OVER your handbag! Pleasant right?
Wallet
Money goes in and out of your wallet constantly right? Scientist say a flu virus can live on money for about an hour. However, should the virus mix with nasal mucus we are looking at up to 17 days on paper bills! Gross!
E. Coli
It's not just on spinach and in peanut butter! It could be on your purse as well! Lab results have shown that purses are covered in bacteria, and e coli loves our handbags! The bottoms of our bags are a germ vessel. Especially if you set your purse on the floor. Think about this... you set your purse on the floor at a restaurant or at a store, and then you come home and put it on your kitchen table. All those germs are now all over your kitchen table, and now just spreading like crazy. You sit down to dinner where you set your purse and yum bacteria!
It does not matter if your purse is new or old, you need to clean it! You can use any antibacterial wipes on it, and wipe it down daily focusing on the bottom of your bag. For those of you who may be like me and have designer purses you probably don't want to use a wipe with chemicals in it on your purse. Well then it is IMPERATIVE to avoid putting your purse on any floor (restaurants...bathroom..gym...etc) EVER! If I am going to use a antibacterial wipe on my purse I use Wet Ones!
I am so thankful for the Purse Hanger! Do you have one? Purse hangers come in so many shapes, colors, designs and patters! They guard against theft by keeping your handbag in full view. Not to mention they keep your handbag, purse, clutch whatever you may be using off the dirty floor! Purse Hangers are the perfect investment to keep the germs off your handbag!
I recently got this Foldable Purse Hanger from Joey Junior and am loving it! It actually holds my purse on the table. which I am absolutely loving! Usually I find a purse hanger that just falls right off the table... annoying! Aside from germs you can keep your purse in visual sight. In this economy it's important to keep your possessions close... you don't want anyone running off with your hang bag. I know personally it's my life... what about for you?
You wouldn't want your handbag to make you or others sick would you? Be respectful and smart, de-germ it and always be conscience and considerate of where you put your purse down next.
Do you own a purse hanger?
