Cart Safe Washable Cart Safe launched the first ever recyclable shopping cart liner in August 2020, and today is proud to announce its new washable version. The cover protects the inside of the cart, the outside of the cart, the handle and even the child seat area, and will fit carts both big and small. Dr. Charles Gerba, a Microbiologist of the University of Arizona, conducted a study on shopping carts which showed that of the 85 random carts tested, 50% carried E. Coli and 72% contained coliform bacteria, which suggested that there was fecal material on the carts. Until now, shoppers have dealt with these filthy carts by wiping them down with disinfecting wipes, wearing gloves, and by attempting to outsmart germs by pulling the carts by the tail or side rails—a fruitless endeavor given the research. However, with today's announcement from Cart Safe (www.cartsafe.com), keeping shoppers and their families safe from germs, bacteria and viruses has just been made a whole lot easier.
