When it comes to traveling, [hotels] are basically inextricable topics.
But I have heard too much gossip and always worry about all kinds of hygiene problems in accommodation.
Hotel towels are not clean, bed sheets are not hygienic, pillows are bacteria, kettles are dirty… Minutes make people despair.
However, if you consider bringing your own daily necessities, you have to carry large bags and small bags, which is no less difficult than moving at one time.
Can the hotel still be at ease?
Today we will have a big comb and talk about the hygiene problems in the hotel.
The hotel bed can sleep, but it is safer not to sleep naked.
Hotel sheets, pillowcases and quilt covers are usually changed by one guest and disinfected before being used by the next guest.
After disinfection by standard procedures, there is generally no need to worry about bacteria on bed sheets.
In fact, the biggest pollution source is mold and mites that breed in bedding. Hotel rooms are sealed, and the warm and humid environment is their paradise.
It is suggested not to lie prone or sleep naked when sleeping, and it is best to put on pajamas to avoid direct contact between reproductive parts and bed sheets, pillowcases and quilt covers.
Hotel towels are basically not contagious [sexually transmitted diseases]
On the Internet, hotel towels are often demonized. We can always see reports of so-called hotel towels being used to infect [sexually transmitted diseases].
In fact, the probability of such incidents is very low. Sexual behavior is the most important way to spread sexually transmitted diseases, and there is no need to be too nervous.
Although towels in hotels are always changed again, there may still be hygiene problems.
For example, in humid environment such as bathroom, once there is uncleaned dandruff on the towel, it is easy to breed bacteria. A few germs, such as Neisseria gonorrhoeae, can survive in moist towels for 10-24 hours, therefore, attention should be paid.
It is recommended to bring your own towel when going out.
If you want to use a hotel towel and worry about not being clean, you can also use washing powder or soap under running water before using it.
Washing robes may not be changed very often, so pay more attention when using them.
Washing robes is similar to bath towels and towels, but the application frequency of bathrobes is lower than that of bath towels and towels. Therefore, hotel bathrobes are likely not changed once for a long time.
In addition, bathrobes are hung in airtight wardrobes that are not ventilated in supermarkets, which is easy to breed germs and mites.
Hotel bathrobes should not be worn as much as possible. It is more reliable to bring pajamas when traveling.
The toilet in the hotel is not clean, so we should pay attention to the mold problem.
The particularity of the toilet’s water storage and environment determines that it always deals with [dirt].
Due to the humidity caused by toilet water storage and the narrow and difficult ventilation environment in most hotel toilets, it is difficult to reduce bacteria through direct lighting and ventilation.
It is strongly not recommended to squat on the toilet, in case you fall down, or fall down after trampling on the toilet, it will be embarrassing.
If conditions permit, you can go to the nearby to buy disposable toilet cushions!
Hotel pillow, not to hold is better
Almost all hungry people will place pillows on their beds, but pillows in some hotels will not be cleaned frequently. After contact with many people, the dandruff left last time will breed many bacteria.
It is suggested to put the pillow aside when sleeping and try not to sleep with it.
The hotel kettle is reused without excessive panic.
Hotel kettles, glasses, etc. are usually reused.
Although we have heard some rumors about hotel kettles cooking clothes, it is an example and there is no need to panic too much.
If you are still worried, you can burn 2-3 pots of water first, pour them out, and then boil the water for drinking.
If you are really worried that the hotel’s boiling water is not clean, you may as well choose to bring your own hot kettle.
You heard correctly. Compared with thermos cups, bringing your own portable hot kettle can solve the problem of unsafe and unclean boiling water from the source.
Portable hot kettles are generally small in shape and easy to carry in bags.
