Nothing even the soles of my shoes gets in the house without washing. I think of it like getting rid of finger prints. I hear there is very little chance of contamination from packaging but later I can pull out the bread, the milk, my new paint brushes from Amazon etc anytime without thinking I better wash my hands now.
I made a mistake at first put too watery soap suds on bread wrapper and hubby complained about soapy baguette, so now I use abundant soap suds less wet on the wrapper. The bread stays dry. Hubby happy.
you reminded me of a story re: disinfecting shoes. when i worked as a veterinary tech, we used to keep a small pan of h20 & regular bleach in front of the isolation ward door. (maybe an inch of liquid max.) we stepped into the pan, waited a few seconds, then proceeded on our way. we would bleach anything possible-it was the 1 disinfected we could count on to kill just about anything.
