Washington Post report: every trip, luggage may be handled by many people, including airline crew members, scheduling or bus drivers, hotel service students or travel agency personnel.

Jan Louise Jones, who is responsible for hotel and travel management at the University of New Haven in Connecticut, said, think about how many streets and different places you drag your luggage on the journey, and how many people will get to your luggage if you take a flight or accommodation hotel? All of these will gather dirt, dust and bacteria on your luggage; no one will want to touch these dirty things, let alone take them home, which is why luggage cleaning is very important.

Tetro recommends that when you arrive at your travel destination, at least use a sterilized wet towel, clean rag or super-fiber towel, plus a small amount of disinfectant (such as double oxygen) to clean the handles and zippers of the suitcase, because that is the place where most people will touch.

No matter where you live, you should not put your luggage on the bed. You can use a luggage rack, a makeup stand, or put your suitcase in the bathroom, so that dirt and germs will not be brought to the bed. For the same reasons, after returning home, I put my luggage on the floor or in the bathroom.

After returning home, you can clean the outside of the suitcase, including the handle and the zipper. Kristin DiNicolantonio, who is a member of the American Cleaning Institute, said that cleaning hard case can be wiped with antibacterial rags or regular rags with a bit of detergent and water.

How to clean the interior of the suitcase

Do not clean the interior of the suitcase when traveling, unless something is out, you can clean the interior with soapy water, towels or disinfectant paper towels; however, the shoes and dirty clothes you carry may leave dirt and even make the suitcase smell strange. Titro suggests that you can put something with a strange smell in a plastic bag to prevent the smell from spreading to other items and leave a disgusting smell in the suitcase.

After you go home and open your luggage, use a vacuum cleaner to clean the inside, including your pocket and four corners, or take the suitcase outside, open it and shake it to remove dirt, debris or other miscellaneous objects. Titlo said that some suitcases now contain antibacterial ingredients, which can reduce people's concerns about bacterial transmission.

The Joy of Green Cleaning author Leslie Reichert said that disinfect the inside of the suitcase so that clothes will not get moldy when traveling next time. She suggested adding half a cup of chlorpyrifos or topical alcohol to the spray bottle, and then dropping 8 to 10 drops of lavender or lemon essential oil; spraying the solution lightly in the trunk or travel bag, and then opening it for drying naturally.
