After a few nasty discoveries about the cleanliness of hotel sheets, l bring my own sleeping bag liner sheets that have zippers on the side. They are just like cotton sheets but keep me from sleeping directly on the hotel bed sheets. You can also get some that cover your pillow as well. I bring my own pillow cases.

1. No luggage on the floor
2. no clothes in drawers
3. sanitize every hard surface
4. slippers or disposable flip flops
5. no sleep until you CHECK BEDS FOR BUGS!

(bonus 5)
6. Sanitize light switches, remotes, lamps, alarms, phone (any commonly touched surface)
7. No baths unless you sanitize the whole tub
8. bring a collapsible sink cover to hold toothbrush/toiletries
9. Garment bags if you must use the closet
10. Blacklight check the bed/sheets/pillows. (my best friend used to be a housekeeper at a "luxury" hotel, they're graded on speed and a lot of times if they can't see a mess they will leave the duvet cover, pillow cases, or sheets on so they don't get in trouble for taking too long.)

Housekeeping is paid hourly and there's a LOT of rooms, most of them are judged by quantity not quality of cleanings... Stay safe.

I do all the same as you! I stand on a towel in the shower. I never put my suitcase on the bed either, until I check for bed bugs.

[IsMyHomebase]

I'm a frequent traveler and retired military. I do the same. We would get in trouble, back in basic training, if we went into the shower without our shower shoes.

[chico]

I do all that was mentioned, including paper towel around door handles, and if there’s no paper towels handy, I’ll use my shirt, but refuse to touch any handles with my bare hands, including my own doors.

Lysol anything with a fabric. Curtain, couch, bed, put fabric softener in the air ducts for a fresh smelling room.

[marilynboykins]

Dr Jen I always sanitize the remote control and lysol the sheets and bring my own pillow I really enjoy your utube channel you share such great information thanks

[HSR-bkqb]

I take travel sheets and my own towels/washcloths. Toothbrush covers are also essential.

[cleanindustriapsychic]

Omg 😱 I do the exact same because of cross contamination and dirt bed bugs. Many people use the showers so it’s a hotspot for athlete’s foot and worts herpes and lots of other bodily fluids. I always use the the stilts too. Just come back from Cyprus and did the exact same. Everyone calls me paranoid I think it’s wise. Thanks for the video ❤

I bought my first pair of shower shoes after staying in an AirB&B. That house had obviously been recently "updated" specifically to be an AirB&B rental. The shower in the owner's suite was done with rocks for the flooring, which normally looks nice but not in this case, and the grout made it look dirty. I couldn't talk myself into believing that it was likely clean but just ugly. At least the main bathroom had a tub shower combo. Right after getting dressed I got on Amazon & ordered a couple pairs of shower shoes. Will never ever travel without one of them. I also have my own travel mug & and portable electric kettle.

We do many of the same things in hotels. Love you and all of your podcasts. ✌️❤️😃

[dianewilliams]

Love the tips. I lock up my toothbrush in my luggage and use flip flops to shower. Bleach is a must. And I never ever use the comforter on the bed. They wash them so seldom.

[prsqrof]

Yes! I totally agree with you on those things. It's just being extra clean and safe!!! And feel like you can never be to much of that cause you just do not know.

[darlenenemia]

I do all the same!! If there is no luggage rack..I call house keeping for one.

[sharoncaudle]

I always spray the bed with lysol, clean the bathroom with clorox cleanup and use shower shoes a toothbrush holder/carrier. Never put my luggage on the floor or bed.

[terryroberts]

I check the Bed sheets, and cover, to make sure that it is fresh.
Because IVE heard that sometimes, that they don't wash covers every time someone get through using the Room.

[MT-vwff]

I do everything you mentioned except the shower shoes but I’ll start doing that too! When I get back from my trips, I always wipe my luggage down and spray it with Lysol after too😂
