The Purse

Forget clutter, it's the bottom of your purse that's throwing a germ party with noted guests such as E. coli and salmonella. Think about where you inoffensively place your purse. How many germ-infested public floors and surfaces have ferried bacteria to the bottom of your "it" bag. Not a pleasant thought.

Battle Plan: Think twice next time you set your purse down on the floor in a public place, especially the bathroom. As you can imagine, public commodes are oozing with microbes. Find a hook whenever possible.
