Accidental germs for the kids

We know you're a good mom. Your home may not always be ready for the camera, but you keep it clean as one of the many things you do to keep your family safe. Just look at your shiny kitchen counters. The only thing out of place there is the purse that you set down when you came in.

Whoops. What germs did you drag into your home with your pocketbook? According to a study done in the UK, your handbag is probably more germ ridden than your toilet. It may look clean, but just think of the places you set that bag down.

You may have set in on the floor of the public restroom while you were helping your toddler avoid a messy accident. Imagine what the bottom of the purse is picking up there and thrive during the trip home.

You probably used one of the hand wipes available in grocery stores to clean the child seat before you placed her in the shopping cart. Did you put your purse into the basket that has been accumulating the juices from raw meat and who knows what other toxic brews?

You can't help picking up germs when you are out and about. That's why you wash your hand so often. Do the same with your purse. Remember to use a disinfectant wipe to kill the germs on your bag that could make for kids sick. Pay special attention to the bottom of the bag, since this is the area that is subject to most bacteria.
