A hotel employee urged tourists to always check the toilet in their room if they are staying in a country with a warm climate. He advises flushing the toilet every time you return to your room.
This advice may seem strange at first, but you’ll want to stick with it once you know why.
The fact is that in places with a hot climate, there are a lot of insects. And the areas near the toilet and the toilet itself are ideal hiding places for creepy crawlies, especially spiders. This advice is especially relevant for places like Thailand or Australia.
It is also worth paying attention to drawers and cabinets because previous guests left rather unpleasant “surprises” there. So make sure you have a pack of antibacterial wipes with you.
Most hotels, especially budget ones, do cleaning very quickly between guests. This includes cleaning surfaces and changing linens, but the inside of cabinets or drawers is not cleaned every time.
Hotel cleaners have found that intimate items are one of the most common items left in hotel rooms, usually in the drawer by the bed, so wiping them down quickly can help put your mind at ease.
