14 DAY TRIAL // As surprising as this may sound, it appears that a run-off-the-mill toilet is often significantly cleaner than a woman's handbag.
Thus, a recent study has revealed that, courtesy of their having numerous places where to hide and thrive, bacteria have a better time living inside the spongy texture of a handbag than they do on the average toilet.
“Handbags come into regular contact with our hands and a variety of surfaces, so the risk of transferring different germs onto them is very high, especially as bags are rarely cleaned,” specialist Peter Barratt says.
According to Daily Mail, the dirtiest thing one could ever find inside a handbag is the hand cream.
Furthermore, investigations have revealed that, because of their texture, leather bags collect more bacteria than others do.
Given these findings, specialists urge that women regularly take the time to clean their handbags using antibacterial products.
