How to Clean Your Handbag With Zoflora

Wipe Down Your Handbag Straps

Zoflora also sells soft cloths that you can use to wipe down any object or surface. Use this cloth to wipe down parts of your handbag such as your straps. It’s important to know that Zoflora shouldn’t be used on any leather products because it can cause the material to wear quicker.

Use Zoflora on synthetic fabrics such as PVC or nylon. Take your small Zoflora spray bottle and spray it along your bag strap. Then take your soft cloth and wipe away the residue. Any microorganisms growing on your bag strap will be killed immediately.

Clean Your Keys

Whenever you touch your house or car keys with unclean hands you’re potentially transferring harmful bacteria and viruses onto them. To ensure that your keys are free from harmful microorganisms you should disinfect them after every use.

Use your 250ml bottle of Zoflora to spray directly onto your house and car keys before putting them into your handbag. Then simply wipe them down with your soft Zoflora cloth to remove any residue. The Zoflora solution will clean and disinfect your car keys so they’re safe to use.

Wipe Down Your Wallet

You use your wallet to pay for items at the grocery store or to pay for parking at the mall. Bacteria and viruses can also be transferred to your wallet from cards or money. Spray the inside and outside of your wallet with Zoflora and wipe it down every time you use it.

It’s also important to disinfect the outside of your wallet before putting it back inside your handbag. You can do this while you’re in the shop because the bottle of Zoflora is small and easy to use.

Wipe Down Your Cards

When you swipe your card at a terminal or draw cash from the ATM you could pick up harmful viruses or bacteria from the machines you use. So before you put your card back into your wallet spray it down with your small bottle of Zoflora and wipe it clean with a cloth.

Sterilise Your Phone

A SmartPhone carries over 25,000 bacteria per square inch. This means your phone is dirtier than your typical doorknob that holds 8643 bacteria per square inch. Since people now use their SmartPhones to browse the internet, to shop or text people more often than not, it’s important to disinfect them after every use.

Spray Zoflora directly onto your phone screen to clean it and disinfect it. Wipe away the Residue with a soft microfibre cloth. Make sure you don’t spray Zoflora directly into charging ports or speaker holes.

Sprits Your Money

Don’t put dirty money directly into your wallet or handbag before disinfecting it with your Zoflora solution. Hold your spray bottle about 10cm away from your money and then spray the disinfectant onto your change or paper money before putting it into your wallet.

Wipe Down Any Containers

Do you have bottles of hand cream, compact mirrors or lip glosses inside your handbag? Then you should disinfect these items. Take all the containers or items out of your handbag and lay them flat on a towel. Spray all the items and wipe them down with a cloth before putting them back inside your bag.

Wipe Down Your Zoflora Bottle

Your bottle of Zoflora can also harbour harmful viruses or bacteria on the outside of the container. When you get home remove your 250ml bottle of Zoflora from your handbag and disinfect it with your bigger bottle of Zoflora.

Wash Your Hands

After cleaning all the items inside your handbag your hands will probably be dirty. It’s also not safe to eat with your hands after handling Zoflora. So wash your hands thoroughly with warm water and soap after disinfecting your handbag.
