TIP OF THE DAY

Who Knew Backpacks Could Be Germ Magnets?

To clean a backpack, start by emptying all those pockets and compartments. Use a handheld vacuum to suck up crumbs and debris.

Then, mix a solution of warm water and mild detergent. Grab a soft cloth, dip it in the solution, and wipe the inside and outside. Don’t forget the straps! Let it air dry completely before repacking.
