Suggested collection: When staying in hotels during travel, pay attention to these aspects to ensure safety, hygiene, and avoid embarrassment!

Hygiene is directly related to our health. When checking into a hotel, we need to confirm the hygiene situation carefully,

If you feel that the hygiene situation is not good, you can contact hotel staff to clean or change rooms. In addition, you can also bring some hygiene products by yourself to avoid the health risks that may arise from using hotel provided supplies.

No need for hotel shared slippers, bring your own or disposable slippers+shared slippers

Let's talk about slippers first. Have you ever had this experience - after taking a shower, you wet your feet and stretch them into the plastic slippers in the hotel, only to have your feet touch the bottom of the slippers with a sticky and slightly slippery texture? At that moment, my heart skipped a beat and I immediately pulled it out and flipped it over to take a look. In the pattern on the sole of the shoe, there are a few strands of hair stuck and a circle of gray black stains. It looks like it hasn't been brushed for several months. That night, I was standing barefoot on the tiles, with two layers of tissues on top, afraid that the sole of the shoe would touch the bed sheet.

My method is simple: bring your own slippers.

Don't think too high-end, it's just the old slippers at home that are almost worn out and ready to be thrown away. Or buy a pair of foldable silicone slippers online for a few yuan, which can be folded up to the size of a palm and fit snugly into the side pockets of a suitcase without taking up space. Moreover, in summer, you can simply wear a comfortable pair of slippers that can be worn outside. I'm really too lazy to bring it, so there's a trick - put the disposable thin cloth slippers given by the hotel on my feet and put them into the shared slippers. This way, the soles of the feet won't touch the dirty surface directly, and the cloth slippers will get wet when they get wet. Anyway, just throw them away when checking out.

Don't use the hotel's kettle, bring your own folding kettle or thermos

Actually, we can stuff a folding water bottle in the suitcase, made of silicone that can be flattened. When using, unfold it, boil it in water, pour it out for the first time to remove the taste, and only drink it after the second time. Although it's a bit troublesome, at least I know that only water has been boiled inside and no other messy things have been cooked. Another more convenient way is to use a thermos, and always bring a large capacity thermos when going out. After dinner, ask the waiter at the restaurant to help pick up a cup of hot water and bring it back to the hotel for one night to drink. The next morning, the glass of water was still warm, saving time and effort. Moreover, there are now portable electric cups that can be heated, making them a must-have for traveling and staying in hotels. For people who drink a lot of water, the capacity is a bit small.

Do not use non disposable towels provided by the hotel. Bring your own disposable face towel or compressed towel

Don't hotel towels undergo high-temperature disinfection? In theory, but in practice? In fact, there have been reports in reality that some hotels and homestays may use a cloth to wipe the washbasin, towel rack, toilet seat, and even wipe the water off the floor when they are busy.

Moreover, sometimes when towels are taken to the laundry, they are mixed in one pot, detergent is added more or less, and the drying time is sufficient, all depending on the mood of the master. So I always have disposable face towels in my toiletry bag. It's that kind of thick cotton soft towel, like a piece of paper being pulled out one by one. It gets wet when wet, and it feels soft when wiped on the face without harming the skin. After wiping, simply throw it away without washing or drying, and there is no secondary pollution. One bag can last for a week, it doesn't take up space in the corners of the suitcase. If you want to save space, buy compressed towels. The first time I saw it, I thought it was a small pill, hard and nail sized. Throwing it into the water for a few seconds, it swells into a small towel and feels pretty good. Bathing and wiping hair are both sufficient. It's so convenient to throw it away after use. A small reminder: Don't buy those super cheap compressed towels that cost a few yuan per big bag. The fiber is too coarse and it looks like sandpaper when wiping your face. Spend an extra ten yuan and choose one with a better reputation. After all, our face is our own.

Not directly using hotel toilets, with disposable toilet pads

Talking too much about the toilet may seem pretentious, but if you don't, it's easy to suffer losses. Have you observed the toilet seat in the hotel bathroom? Especially at the connection between the seat cushion and the lid, yellow, yellow, black, and black stains can often be seen in that gap. Some cleaning ladies may have a possibility of wiping a cloth from head to toe when cleaning - such as the washbasin, mirror, towel rack, toilet seat, and even floor drain... Think about how many things are stuck on that cloth.

So, it is very common to keep disposable toilet seats in luggage.

This thing is really a artifact. A pack of five or six pieces, thin and about the size of a cotton pad, casually stuffed into the interlayer. When using, tear open the packaging and place it on the toilet seat. It has several adhesive stickers that can stick together without slipping. Sitting on it is paper, neither cold nor sticky. After use, flush directly into the toilet, soluble in water, without touching the trash can with your hands. In fact, many mid-range hotels will provide a few free toilet pads in the bathroom or offer disinfectant for you to wipe yourself. But we can't guarantee that it will be used up someday. So bringing a few pieces by yourself is the most reliable, and it doesn't take up space. Each piece is only a few cents. If you really haven't brought it, there's also a stupid way - pull a stack of toilet paper, lay a thick layer on the toilet seat, lay a few more layers, and you can also block it when you sit on it. It's easy to slip and wastes paper.

Kind reminder:

For mouthwash cups, many hotels now provide disposable paper cups, which not only reduce the workload of room cleaning, but also keep them clean and hygienic, providing guests with a good experience.

Of course, the possibility of the issue of "foreign objects in the showerhead" being raised is very small. We can check it when checking in, communicate with the hotel in a timely manner if there are any problems, and replace it with a clean one. After all, neither we nor the hotel could have imagined that there would be problems in this area. Since there is a certain probability that it will happen, even if the probability is extremely low, we can prevent it in advance. Give yourself a good experience on your journey and travel happily.

After all this, it's just one sentence: hotels are not homes, don't treat them as homes. Be careful and bring those small things - old slippers, folding water bottle, disposable face towels, toilet seat cushion - which won't cost much, but can be exchanged for a whole night's sleep.

After all, going out is for fun, not to compete with bacteria.
