(50,901 posts)is for public things: doorknobs, elevator buttons. Ungloved hand is for things I don't want contaminated: keys, wallet etc. A plastic baggy open in one pocket where I put change I receive.
I don't use the cart, only the clean bag I bring from home.
When I get home I dump the change into a bowl of soapy water, wash the gloved hand with the bare hand: soap and water for about 30 seconds. Don't forget to soap up the water faucet. Coat goes near the door, wipe down products or soap them up (preferably soap) as I empty the bag, leave clean products on the counter. Put the bag into the soapy water bowl. Wash hands again. Put products away, wipe down counter and cabinet handles and fridge handle. Wipe down counter (all with soap) wash hands again.
Then take a nap.
