- Keep your wallet away from germ-prone areas. Do not place it in high risk areas, especially bathroom tables, kitchen tables, and floors.
- Always keep your bag tightly closed.
- Use disinfectant wipes to clean items in your purse, including makeup and cell phones. Be sure to clean the bottom of the bag and the handles.
- Soak the lipstick tube in alcohol for 15 to 30 seconds, then wipe the top layer of lipstick to clean it properly. Leave the lipstick and mascara in the freezer overnight to kill bacteria and viruses.
- Check the contents of your handbag regularly to remove unnecessary items such as empty hand lotions or lipsticks.
- Prevent dirt, debris, and trash from building up at the bottom of your bag. Used tissue is one of the worst culprits as the flu virus can live there for up to 12 hours.
- If you have groceries in your purse, make sure it is sealed in a plastic bag or container.
