Can the hot water kettle in the hotel be used to boil water? Why do people say never touch it?

It is recommended not to use it. Why? Simply put, what looks clean is not necessarily clean. Sheets, bath towels and towels look clean, but they are not necessarily clean. Under normal circumstances, hotel bath towels need to be disinfected after guests leave the hotel, but the cost of disinfection is very high, and normal express hotels can only clean them. Therefore, the hot water kettle is also used by everyone, which is very unsanitary. And it is possible that the hot water kettle will not be used for a long time, and there will be a lot of bacteria in it. Some people may think that boiling hot water in a hot kettle can achieve a certain disinfection effect, but some people can't just boil hot water in a hot kettle. We don't want to guess others maliciously, but some people will do things that people can't understand. There was news before that the hot water kettle burned underwear, which was disgusting. Although this kind of thing is rare, I think it's better not to do it for my physical and mental health. But on the whole, I think star hotels have more disinfection measures than express hotels. Express hotels may reduce disinfection measures because of cost, but star hotels still have to take certain measures for their own reputation. It is also reported that some hotels even recycle disposable toothbrushes, repackage them and use them again. Therefore, when going out, we should pay more attention to hygiene. If you can try not to use hotel things, you don't need hotel things. If you must drink hot water, you can ask the waiter Generally, hotels have restaurants, which can provide hot water for people to drink and meet your requirements.
