Your luggage needs a post trip clean up because travel health isn’t just about hand-washing and sanitizers on the road. From conveyor belts and taxi trunks to hotel carpets, your bag has seen (and carried) it all. Microbiologists warn that suitcase exteriors can host millions of bacteria—definitely not the kind of souvenirs you want to unpack.

Best Way to Disinfect Luggage After aTrip

Start by emptying everything (even those “I’ll remember” hidden pockets). Vacuum or shake out the interior.  To spot cleaning travel bags safely, wipe them down with a damp, soapy cloth or disinfecting wipe. For tougher smells, a spritz of vinegar-water does wonders. Always let your bag air-dry before tucking it away, to keep luggage fresh and germ-free.
