Did you know that studies have shown there could be 1 million germs on just ONE shopping cart handle? Well there are and I'm totally freaked out.

It makes sense when you think about it, with all the hands and food, not to mention the mouths of children, that come into contact with a grocery cart I am surprised there aren't more than a cool million. Gross. Luckily a new company called Pure Cart Systems recognized the pure need for a cart cleaning technology and went for it. Their car wash like cart cleaning system is an innovative way to get shopping carts clean and fast. It's new so tell your local grocer to check out PureCartSystems.com.

Fit's Tip: Until we start seeing this in all grocery stores, make sure to wash your hands after a trip to the grocery store. Also, you may want to carry some wipes around with you to wipe-off the cart's handle before you use it.
