Why shouldn’t you put your purse on the floor
Jump To:

1. It’s Not Hygienic

Public floors are covered in dirt, bacteria, and harsh chemicals that can transfer onto your handbag. Over time, this buildup can stain, degrade, and cause damage to your bag. Keeping your bag elevated with a BAGCEIT® purse stand is a simple way to protect it from unsanitary surfaces.

2. It Gets Dirty

Surfaces in places like restaurants, gyms, and sports arenas are hotspots for grease and germs. Oils, food, and dirt particles can transfer onto your purse and cause stains and marks, which can become permanent if you don’t remove them right away.

However, materials such as silk, suede, and untreated leather can be tricky to clean. If you’re not careful, you could cause even more damage.

Furthermore, certain floor waxes or commercial-grade cleaning chemicals can transfer onto your handbag. These substances can leave sticky residues or tarnish the purse’s finish.

3. It Can Spread Germs

Think about it: Shoe soles are constantly transferring harmful bacteria from other dirty surfaces to the floor where you’ve just placed your purse.

Maybe you picked up that bag from the floor and, for whatever reason, didn’t wash your hands afterward. Now, you’re possibly spreading that bacteria to everything you touch — purse contents, clothing, your face, and myriad other things. YUCK!

4. Floors Can Ruin It

In addition to collecting dirt, you can also cause significant wear and tear over time by constantly putting a purse on the floor. Regular contact with rough surfaces can scuff, scratch, and break down your handbag’s exterior, which affects its appearance and ability to contain your belongings.

Pay extra attention to this if you’re a high-end purse enthusiast who wants to preserve your purses because they’re worth something. Keeping your haute couture handbag in pristine condition is necessary for it to keep its value. Plus, why would you want to put something you paid so much money for on a dirty floor?

5. It’s Bad Luck, Perhaps

In many cultures, placing a purse on the floor is believed to invite financial misfortune and negative energy. In fact, there’s a well-known ancient proverb that says, “A purse on the floor is money out the door!”

Frequently Asked Questions About the BAGCEIT® Purse Stand
