While it doesn’t matter how many stars a hotel is given, here are the first 5 things you should clean in your hotel room. According to an article put out by Lifehacker, they listed things in a hotel room that you should wipe down yourself. The things you should clean right when you walk into the room even before unpacking.
Here in Las Vegas, while we have the most opulent hotels and resorts in the world, you should really think about bringing some wipes! It could be the most exclusive hotel or resort, it still needs the once over just to on the safe side.
Of course, common knowledge will tell us that its the things that we touch the most in a room. For example, one item is the handle on the mini fridge. You know that has to be one of the most “touched” item in a hotel room and just to be safe, wipe it down!
The article also suggest that you run the coffee maker through a cleaning cycle once in the room. At least rinse out the pot good enough to where you feel that much more comfortable about it.
A lot of people think that hotels don’t really clean the comforters on a bed very often. Not much guests can do about that. However, we come to find out that one out of ten people will bring in their own sheets to change the bed. No need to take any chances right?
What rituals do you go through when staying at a hotel? Are you that person that goes in, wipes everything down? Mike O’Brian admitted one time that he and his wife actually move furniture around when staying at a hotel. Everyone is like WHAT? Yep, not that unusual.
So think about all the things you do when checking into a hotel. Whether it be here in Las Vegas or else where. To see the Top 5 things you should clean yourself, scroll down and take notes!
