Back to School: Must Haves
Solo New York Re:fresh Backpack
Sustainable and Washable Backpack for Back to School. Do you ever think about how dirty your kid’s backpack is? From sitting on the floor at school, spills during lunchtime, and everyday wear and tear, backpacks are exposed to high germ environments all the time. A recent study from Clorox found that backpacks are 31x germier than the average cell phone and 28x germier than the average toilet seat. And when was the last time you washed their backpack? Solo New York recently released its Re:fresh Machine Washable Backpack which can be easily tossed in the washing machine to sanitize and remove stains from everyday use. Bags are sustainably constructed from 15 recycled ocean-bound PET water bottles, which helps stop pollution in our oceans, and come in a variety of colors and patterns to suit any style.
