25 People Share Their Hotel Hacks And Traveling Might Never Be The Same Again

You can be reasonably clean, but thinking too much about germs can suck all the fun out of any trip and holliday.

I agree. People think that if you touch something that someone else has, you're going to get the plague. What actually happens is you go on as normal with no side effects.

As someone who travels about half the year, I can tell you I never check for bed bugs, I don't sanitize anything, and I sleep in the buff knowing full well others have probably done the same thing. I've had my job for 4 years now and the only time I get sick is when I'm at home and my daughter has something. Hotel rooms are clean because the hotel doesn't want the liability of bad press.

I think people tend to false estimate what is unhygenic and what not. The dirtiest place in an airplane, for example, is the small table that you have. Still, most people will readily put nuts and the like there...

I can understand how someone with a compromised or weak immune system could benefit from this, but I would think they would already carry around disinfectant and the likes.

I can't believe how much time and effort they waste on it. Carry hand sanitizer or sanitizing spray..like Lysol. I also find it funny that they're such germaphobes. If they knew how infrequently the sheets are changed in your typical hotel, they'd run screaming from the room. One reason we only stay at hotels that advertise that the sheets are changed after every stay.

just wash your hands and shower regularly..

You don't think sick people use hotel rooms? Two Christmases ago we were visiting relatives in San Diego and every single person in the family got the nasty flu bug that was going around in the States (and that killed a lot of people). Because the relatives' house wasn't big enough for everyone, we volunteered to sleep in a hotel nearby. Christmas morning my son and I both woke up super sick. Even with our best efforts to not spread our Christmas gift to the next folks, you know we had to have left flu germs everywhere. If the hotel staff didn't clean well, the people who got the room after us were definitely exposed. Same thing with the airplane we took to get home the next day. I'm sure we unintentionally smeared germs all over everything. So you'd better believe I wipe down all the surfaces in the hotel rooms I stay in, and the trays and armrests of airplanes. And use sanitizing spray in public bathrooms. Not everyone is the kind who never gets sick.

Im sorry but a 4-5 star hotel and the previous person left a dead hair lice on the pillow. The horrooooor 😱

Maybe its those who dont vaccinate 🤔🤣🤣

Well, then, thank God for your good genes and super immune system. Not everyone is that healthy.
