It’s the busiest travel time of the year. But before you pack up your suitcase and head to Grandma’s for the holidays, there’s something you should know about that hotel room you may be staying in: it’s dirtier than you think!
It looks clean, but just how clean is it?
Before you kick back your feet and turn on the TV, you might want to wipe down that remote with some Lysol wipes. These apparently house guests such as E. Coli, MRSA and Staph.
Be wary of the drinking glasses, especially if the hotel does not have a restaurant or a kitchen to wash the glasses. The habit of some cleaners is to rinse them under the bathroom tap without using soap and dry them with a hotel towel.
Some other tips: skip making your own coffee. Coffee makers can harbor mold and respiratory viruses if not cleaned properly.
And speaking of not being cleaned properly, one investigation of hotel ice buckets found many of them tested positive for E. coli.
