The Dirtiest Things in a Hotel Room Revealed

Want to stay away from germs during your next hotel stay? Then don’t turn on the TV or lights — new research shows that TV remotes and light switches are among the most contaminated items in hotel rooms.

Researchers from the University of Houston took bacteria samples from several items in hotel rooms in three regions of the United States. While the toilet and the sink were expected to have high levels of bacteria, researchers also found more surprising items with high contamination levels, such as the remote and the switch on the bedside lamp.

Makes sense honestly...

Places I would worry about such as beds, bathrooms, counters are usually cleaned after each use...

Smaller things such as remotes, telephones, light switches... can easily be overlooked...

A little gross, bring hand sanitizer :grin1:
