Gambling With Germs

via

A hotel’s cleaning staff can be a gamble. The maids will either clean diligently as if they were cleaning their own home, or they’ll cut corners and hurry up just to get it over with. Your hotel room may appear immaculate and spotlessly clean, but there are certain items that have tons of bacteria you should be wary about.

The television remote is one item that every guests’ grubby little fingers have touched, and often not on the to-clean list for most maids. To save yourself from having to touch a bacteria-covered remote, use the plastic bag in the room’s ice bucket and cover the remote. This small precaution can save you a trip to the doctor or spending days feeling ill.
