Experts say you should think of your handbag the same way you would a pair of shoes. “If you think about putting a pair of shoes onto your countertops, that’s the same thing you’re doing when you put your handbag on the countertops” – your handbag has gone where individuals before you have sneezed, coughed, spat, urinated, emptied bowels, etc!

Wash cloth handbags and use leather cleaner to clean the bottom of leather handbags.
