Researchers at the University of Arizona and Loma Linda University found that most shoppers -- 97%, in fact -- reported that they do not regularly, if ever, wash the bags.

Like more and more families, we are making a vow to no longer use plastic shopping bags - even just here and there. We are sticking to the reusable bags. We spray after each & every use with our natural - yet powerful - essential oils Germ Fighting Thieves Blend to avoid bacterial growth. [remember Cinnamon Oil, contained in our blend, has been studied to be effective against Staphylococcus, E. coli and several antibiotic-resistant strains of bacteria!] For even more research check out our Blog and Research Page at www.JosiahsOils.com.
