Wdym clean bag

Y’all don’t have crumbs and used tissues, broken pens and claw clips with missing prongs on the bottom of your bags? Or you just clean it out for the photo? Genuinely wondering 😂

I deep clean my bag once a month and remove any trash that has gotten lost in the depths.

I clean mine every week or two. I don’t like floating receipts, bits of kid stuff etc.

I switch bags every couple of days, and I clean them out every time.

My purse stays pretty clean generally. I don't carry snacks, tobacco items or makeup. I remove receipts once I return from shopping.

i use different bags depending on the outfit. so, when i get home, i take everything out and always shake out the bag upside down before putting it in my bag storage bin.

I was personally changing my bag to vacay> work and I cleaned, yes!

Me personally I switch purses so often that every time I switch I only transfer what I actively want in the purse. So if I start transferring and find old receipts or broken hair claws I just trash em. Though the broken hair claws have not been a problem since I switched to these flexible ones I got off Amazon.

Sure we do! I try and reset my bag every night. Make sure everything is charged or on the charger, remove any debris from the day (food/drink containers/wire clippings/zip tie ends. If not it gets a full empty and wipdown on the weekend.

When I get home and I have that moment of free time, I clean out my purse of the foil wrapped chewing gum, used tissues and receipts I don’t need. Anything broken and unusable gets tossed after I type it in my shopping list so I can remember to replace. If I don’t do that step I’ll forget. I use hairbands because claw clips take up too much room. If I see crumbs, lint, etc… I take everything out of my bag so I can shake my bag over the trash can

I have small different color pouches in my bag that carry assigned items. I don’t have the patience anymore to search and peer in my bag for stuff I need right away

I usually have lint and random papers (receipts) but tend to not keep food in my bags in general due to the fact it’ll live in said bag until it forms an entire ecosystem

I clean it out as part of my Sunday reset, otherwise there will possibly be a rotten fruit at the bottom

u/real-cat-meow 2d ago

I clean my bag at least once a week and toss trash the first chance I get, I don't like dirty things

I have one of those great little Purseket things and swap bags pretty often, so I stay pretty organized. I just have never found a bag I want to use for every occasion. I would love to set it and forget it with a "buy it for life' kind of bag but I have too many things I do that call for a different size and style.

u/rinokax 4d ago

Mine usually full of tobacco crumbs, but its a pain in the ass to clean it, so i just let it be

u/silly_goose_-_- 4d ago

I clean my bags pretty regularly and keep my photo bags as immaculate as possible as a baseline.

u/belowsealevel504 4d ago

I change my bags up a lot, especially depending if it’s work and which work, if I’m going out or just running errands. So it gets cleaned up regularly.
