Everyone knows that the remote control in your hotel room is one of the dirtiest things you can touch. But, there are several other surfaces in a hotel room that are just covered in germs and bacteria, like the coffee maker, the hairdryer, even the light switches and door handles. However, here's something you may not have considered and if you're going to be staying at a hotel sometime in the next few weeks, you should probably be aware of this:
According to MSN, a doctor at the University of Minnesota School of Public Health says one spot might be worse than all of those is the chair in the corner of the room.
He says, "Chairs can often be made of hard-to-clean fabric and upholstery, and are definitely not cleaned [like] sheets and towels . . . often, stains on chairs are dabbed and rubbed, but other germs that are not noticeable to the eye remain."
Also, think about all the things people throw on the chair, like their dirty clothes, shoes, and bags. That means the fabric is picking up all sorts of bacteria and germs that don't usually get cleaned off between guests.
So, that comfy chair in the corner of the room overlooking the city skyline of the ocean, avoid it!
