Is the hotel room really clean? You should check these 5 places

Sure, who goes on vacation, who wants everything to be perfect: the food, the hotel grounds? and especially the room! The horror idea: a dirty accommodation with poorly cleaned bathroom, stained bedding and mold on the wall. Of course, such a catastrophe would be obvious at first sight.

Unfortunately, hygiene problems hiding too often behind curtains, cupboards or mattresses. Or they are simply too small (keyword bedbugs) to recognize them at first glance. You are one of those people who like to play it safe? Then check these 5 places for their cleanliness:

The tiles

Do the tactile check: Do the tiles feel sticky? That means: The staff works only with the water jet? and do not wipe with the sponge. Definitely a hygiene problem!



The toilet brush

The good often hides in a container. The horror then reveals unfortunately only when you use the brush. It's best to check it out when you arrive? to complain to you if necessary.

Under the trash can

Was also cleaned under the trash can? Negligent cleaning staff simply wipe it around! Clearly: You can complain about that in a good hotel.

Under the sheet

Sure, you have to pull it off first. However, it only shows up as it actually looks on the mattress. Are there any spots to be discovered or even animals? Of course not at all!

Behind the curtains

Who pushes them aside, can quickly see how thoroughly cleaned. Because the cleaners wipe only roughly, forget them? Invisible? Like to ask. As a paying guest, however, you can expect the COMPLETE room to be freshly cleaned.



And what about bedbugs?

A special case and especially nasty because hardly recognizable! Once they are there, the room cleaning does not help. The trick: attach double-sided tape around the bed (when you arrive) and leave the room for a while. You'll soon see if bed bugs are in the room. In the case: nothing out there!
