If your gym bag is your best buddy and half of your life is packed there, these are the gross secrets that will totally surprise you. By simply avoiding them you will have a much more pleasant experience while working out and you’ll be staying away from germs as well.
You’re Not Cleaning It Enough
It’s recommended that you clean your gym bag once a week. Although it’s recommended to clean it more often; there are several studies which show that once a week might not be enough. If you want to avoid bacteria and fungi, you should definitely wash it once a week and also do it very thoroughly.
Wet Things
Everything that’s wet, starting with gym clothes, to equipment is especially gross and filthy. That’s why you should place them in a separate compartment, even place them in a bag. The first thing you need to do when you get home is to take them out of the bag.
Gym Floor
Avoid leaving your gym bag on the gym floor. Even if the employees there keep it very clean and are constantly wiping the floor, it still has so many germs. You will be assigned a locker, which you should also clean with antibacterial wipes.
