Are hotels really that dirty?

Are hotels really that dirty? Due to work reasons, I need to travel frequently, so I often stay in some hotels. I have never stayed in a star-rated hotel, so I won’t talk too much about star-rated hotels. Generally speaking, star-rated hotels charge higher fees, so they will do better in terms of hygiene. Are some hotels really that dirty? Let’s find out together. Is the hotel really that dirty? 1

1. Will the bed sheets, quilt covers, and pillow towels be changed after every guest checks out?

Generally speaking, regular hotels have dedicated cleaning staff. After check-out, the room will be cleaned promptly and sheets, quilts, etc. will be changed.

Sheets, quilt covers, and pillow covers are items that we need to touch personally after moving in, so we must check these items before moving in. Regular hotels will package the replaced bed sheets and send them to a professional laundry company for cleaning and disinfection. Therefore, the replaced quilt covers will have a special detergent smell, which is still somewhat different from the sheets and quilt covers that have been used. , you can check by yourself through this. If you find that the bed sheets, quilt covers and other items have not been replaced in the room arranged by the hotel, you can ask them to replace them immediately.

There are also some small private hotels that have their own washing machines, and the changed sheets and quilts are washed in the store. After washing, there are not many places to dry the sheets. The quilt covers will be hung in a room to dry (dry in the shade). Without sunlight, many bacteria cannot be killed. Therefore, if you encounter this kind of hotel, it is recommended not to stay.

2. Are the bathroom supplies clean?

The hotel bathroom is also something that needs attention. The toothbrushes and toothpastes in the hotel are disposable, so there is basically no need to worry about this. What you need to pay attention to are the bath towels, towels, cups for brushing teeth, slippers, and toilets in the bathroom.

Bath towel is the item that comes into closest contact with our body after taking a bath. If the cleaning staff is lazy and does not change it after the previous guest used it, it is very unhygienic, so be sure to check whether it is wet before using it. If there are any signs, it means that the bath towel is probably not replaced after use;

Many hotel cups used for brushing teeth are made of glass In order to save trouble, some unscrupulous cleaning staff use one rag for multiple purposes. After wiping the sink, wipe the cup, and then wipe the toilet. This kind of thing has also been exposed. Therefore, it is best to ask the hotel for disposable paper cups when used. Just throw it away, it is clean and hygienic;

The same is true for toilets, which require direct physical contact. In some small hotels, the cleaning staff will not wipe the toilets specially when they see that the toilets are clean, so they use It is best to wipe the toilet again with wet wipes or toilet paper before using it;

Most hotels will prepare disposable slippers in the room for free. Some hotels do not provide disposable slippers, but provide the best slippers. Common slippers, after one tenant has worn them, the next tenant continues to wear them. I have encountered this situation many times. When I went into the bathroom, I saw a layer of water on the slippers, and there was also dust from the shower that had not been rinsed away. The scene was really unbearable to look at, and I immediately stopped thinking about this hotel. . When choosing a hotel, be sure to choose a hotel that provides disposable slippers, because athlete's foot is a contagious skin disease. You don't know whether the previous guest had this problem, so you must prevent this situation from happening.

3. Can the hotel’s electric kettle be used?

Every hotel will be equipped with an electric kettle in the room so that guests can drink hot water conveniently. However, the hot water kettles in many hotels are actually very unclean. Chain hotels are better and have electric kettles. There is no scale in the kettle. In some small hotels, we often see some electric kettles with a thick layer of scale accumulated inside.

Can the electric kettle be used if it looks like there is no scale on the surface?

The surface of many hot water kettles is very clean, but you don’t know what kind of person the last guest was and what he did to this hot water kettle. A lot of similar news has been exposed on the Internet. Some people boil their socks, underwear, etc. in electric kettles, and some even urinate in kettles. These are all real, but hotels cannot control these behaviors. People who often stay in hotels are best to bring a portable folding kettle, so that they can drink hot water with confidence.

4. Make it clear which items in the hotel are free items to avoid being cheated

Many hotels will place some food and drinks such as bucket noodles and ham sausages in the room. Guests can Choose your own consumption. However, items in hotels are generally more expensive than outside. If it is not necessary, it is recommended not to consume food in the hotel.

Some hotels will provide free mineral water. This can be confirmed with the hotel front desk when checking in. When you need to drink the free mineral water in the hotel, you also need to pay attention. Look at the production date of the mineral water and check whether the bottle cap is intact. Some tenants with bad moral character, after drinking the mineral water, will pour the water in the bathroom into the bottle to pretend that it has not been touched. When the cleaning staff sees that the mineral water has not been moved when cleaning the room, they will not deliberately check it. The mineral water in the room does not have to be replaced every time you check out. The cleaning staff will only replenish it when it is gone.

For food in the room, be optimistic about the price before purchasing it

5. Install pinhole cameras in the hotel to take secret photos

In recent years, couples have been staying Hotels are often secretly filmed, and the videos are uploaded online by criminals to make huge profits.
