Forgotten lunches, sweaty gym clothes, spilled milk and cookie crumbs are all regular finds in a typical student’s backpack. After a few weeks, things can get pretty gross in there. Remember to have your child clean out his backpack regularly and use a wet cloth or a disinfecting wipe to remove any sticky spills or crumbs. Remember to wash gym clothes once a week at the very least, and know that many backpacks can take a trip through the washing machine, too.
