Tourists were told which items in the hotel room should not be used

The hotel employee named several items that guests should not use in their hotel rooms. She published the relevant post on the Reddit forum.

Although hotel rooms are usually cleaned between each guest’s arrival and should be of a very high standard, some items may be misused by tourists and therefore not as clean as responsible guests would like.

Yes, she urged me not to use teapots, cups, glasses, spoons, and saucers. “Would you use the hotel’s kettle? I discussed it with my colleagues. There were many different opinions, ranging from “boiled water” to “people use it to wash underwear,” shared the author of the post.

Surprisingly, the guests themselves most often admit that they create in their rooms and pass off their strange ideas as life hacks. For example, indeed, some girls recorded and published videos of themselves using electric kettles to wash their underwear and men to wash their socks. After such messages, you won’t want to drink morning tea in the hotel.

“I’ve worked in a hotel for a bit, and I will say that just because something looks clean, it doesn’t mean it is,” noted the post’s author. Cups, glasses, or mugs can also be dirty, since the maids do not wash them, at most they rinse them.

“It’s not so much about how people use these items as it is about how the maids clean them. One colleague wiped the glasses with the towels used by the previous guest!” – said the expert.

However, not all guests are disgusting, they completely trust the cleaning of hotel employees. Somehow something plastic burned at the bottom of the kettle. I called the service staff and they took it away and immediately gave me another one, apologetically. The hotel guests are a bunch of savages, but in my experience, the hotel staff provides clean kettles,” one of them interceded. “If you’re paranoid, pour fresh water into it (the kettle), boil it, and check it’s clean,” advised another.

Logically, not all hotels and not all employees ignore the hygiene of hotel items. Yes, one of the maids reported that cleanliness depends on the hotel administration. “For example, we have to descale our kettles at least once a month and check/empty them after every room cleaning. But I work in a boutique hotel. If the kettle is still full of water when you enter the room, or there is a lot of scale in it, do not use it,” she advised, and in this case she recommended calling the reception desk and informing them of the need to replace the appliance with a clean one or wash it yourself.
