Hotel staff reveals 6 germ-covered items that may shock you

When traveling or on a business trip, people often have to rent a hotel to rest. Depending on each person’s choice, hotels have different qualities. However, in general, every hotel room is equipped with the following items for guests’ convenience. But I sincerely advise everyone to minimize their use and bring their own items if possible. These items are often revealed to contain a lot of bacteria and can easily affect our health.

Toothbrush and toothpaste

Typically, the hotel bathroom will have disposable toothbrushes and toothpaste. However, if not necessary, people should avoid using them. These products do not have clear origins and are cheap, so hotels buy them wholesale to reduce costs.

Experts say: “Toothbrushes and toothpaste that do not have labels may conceal many dangers and risks for users. Consumers are advised not to use cheap toothbrushes and toothpaste to avoid regrettable consequences later on.”

Bath towels

Although it is the hotel staff’s duty to collect all used towels and wash them with strong detergents after each use and check-out, you should know that these towels are used from one guest to another. With such a high frequency of use, there are many bacteria and even hair strands that are difficult to remove even through washing.

Moreover, if a guest using the towel before has a skin disease, then using the same towel means bringing the disease to yourself earlier. Therefore, it is best for everyone to bring their own towel, put it in their suitcase, and use it safely when staying at hotels.

TV remote control

Similarly, TV remote controls also contain many bacteria because they are touched by many guests when renting hotel rooms. While towels can be washed and cleaned to some extent, TV remote controls are small and do notget much attention for cleaning and disinfection. Therefore, it is best for everyone not to touch this object and instead use their personal phones for entertainment. Currently, almost all hotels have Wi-Fi available for easy access to applications.

Drinking glasses

In addition, drinking glasses in hotels are often neglected by staff and not cleaned for a long time. If they are cleaned, it is done quickly or with dirty cloths. Once guests use these glasses, it gives the opportunity for bacteria to enter their bodies. Therefore, it is best to call the hotel staff to bring bottled water instead of using the glasses. This way, there will be no concerns about health.

Kettle

Furthermore, another item that people should not use in hotels is the electric kettle. Do not think that it is safe from bacteria just because it operates at high temperatures. In fact, most housekeeping staff often only pour water inside, rinse it quickly, and clean the outside, leaving dirt and residue at the bottom of the kettle. If you use it to boil water for drinking, it will definitely be harmful to your health.
