Hotel room
It might look clean sparkling when you first arrive, but the level of bacteria and viruses that are surprising can lurk in places that are escaped from attention.
In addition to places that are commonly suspected such as sinks and toilets, areas or common “touch points” such as remote and lamp switches are also crawled by germs, according to several studies.
A study from the University of Houston found that hotel rooms have bacteria up to 10 times more than those permitted in the hospital, launch

Hotel staff often only spend 30 minutes to tidy up and clean each room.They might even miss decorative items at all, said Enza Laterrenia, head of housekeeping at Canne Bianche Lifestyle Hotel in Italy, to
Travel & Leisure
.
Here is a list of places that can be filled with germs, according to experts, and the steps you must take immediately after arriving at the hotel room.
1. Decorative elements
“After working in a hotel, the first thing I got rid of to the distance of the room was a decorative pillow and any decorative runner at the foot of the bed,” Maria Diego, a trip advisor based in San Diego, California, told the travel magazine.”This has never been washed.”
Duvet cover can also be a gathering place for germs.”Most hotels do not wash large blankets (duvet). They only wash sheets,” said a former hotel staff in Reddit last year.
2. Surface that is often touched (

)
Maria Diego said she was also careful with the switch, remote control, telephone, and other main touch points.Los Angeles travel advisor, Rani Cheema, said the phone in a hotel room was the most disgusting thing for her.
“I am disgusted with the receiver,” Cheema said.”Nobody cleaned it,” he continued.
Carpet is another object.Many high -class hotels are now replaced with wooden floors or carpet areas, according to Cheema.
3. Bathing Tub
Hotel bathrooms are even more dirty than planes, according to research, especially the table beside it.However, the bathtub is also filled with germs, storing bacteria up to 40 times more than the toilet holder, according to the 2023 investigation by
Waterfilterguru.com.
“I also will not take a bath in a hotel bathtub except that is a super luxurious five-star hotel, and only if it is a non-jet bathtub,” Diego said.Bathing tubs with jet can store more bacteria and not always fully disinfected, according to experts.
4. Places that escape attention and difficult to reach
Fans on the ceiling, curtain rails, shower heads, and other similar places are often ignored, according to Laterrenia from Canne Bianche Lifestyle Hotel.Ladell Carter, founder of Royal Expression Travels based in Maryland, said he was looking for other danger signs.
“When I entered a room and looked at the dusty charging port next to the bed or the side lights of the bed filled with remnants, it told me that the basic things might have been done, but the details were missed,” Carter told

.
5. Glass and ES Bucket
Housekeeping staff are known to only wipe the glass between the inap period of guests to replace it, according to several reports.
“Personally, I have never used a cup or glass in the room without rinsing it first,” Carter said.”I usually boil water in the kettle and rinse every item as a whole. This is not about fear, this is about good habits,” he added.
Ice buckets can be the next breeding ground.During the Norovirus outbreak at a hotel, guests vomited in the ES bucket, which contributed to the spread, said Brian Labus, an epidemiological professor at the University of Nevada Las Vegas, to to
Travel and Leisure
last year.
The ice bucket should have a liner, the experts said.If not, consider packaging your own drinking place and small cooling boxes with ice.
If there is something that feels “strange,” immediately tell the front desk staff, Carter recommends.Staff can ask the room to be cleaned again or move you to another room.
