These surfaces and room service need extra attention because they are easily missed during cleaning rounds.
Hotel cleaning staff do their best to provide a safe, clean, and comfortable stay. But there are still places and items they miss. You might want to clean up a little when you check-in.
If you are a germaphobe or simply freak out at the idea of staying in a ‘foreign’ place, you might be missing out on awesome getaways and vacation experiences. Even for people who don’t have qualms about staying in hotels or motels, making sure your living room is sanitary will make your experience better.
For health reasons too, like sensitive skin, allergies, weak immunity, and the like, you need to take extra care when it comes to surfaces you frequently come into contact with.
Let’s see which areas need cleaning the most.
The most touched items and surfaces
If you travel with sanitiser or disinfectant wipes, use them to clean surfaces that you touch the most for the entirety of your stay. These include television remotes, nightstands, door handles, light switches, toilet handles, knobs on the closet, the phone, and the fridge handle. This can give you more peace of mind.
Kitchenware and appliances
Most hotel rooms may have a frequent refill of kitchenware which is usually disposable and sealed. However, the pots, coffee makers, wine glasses, plates, and ceramic utensils, among others may need a bit more attention to clean.
Buy essentials or bring some items from home
You may want to carry your own towels or bedsheets. You might also buy sandals or flip-flops to wear around the room.
