Former housekeeper shares things she would never use in a hotel room
After working as a housekeeper for many years, Tara knows a thing or two about hotel rooms.
The former cleaner has made a frank admission about what goes on behind closed doors when cleaning and tidying hotel rooms for the next guests.
“Hate to break it to you, things aren’t as clean as you think they are,” Tara said on her TikTok.
She went on to list the things she would never use in hotel rooms after her years in the industry, beginning with basic kitchenware.
“The first thing I would never ever use is the coffee pot or any of the glassware.”
“Usually the housekeeper rinses these things out in the bathroom sink and dries them off with the same rag they clean the rest of the room with.”
The next thing she avoids using or touching is the ice bucket.
“A lot of times people just innocently use these as water dishes for their pets but then other times, people do much worse things to these buckets... and I don’t ever want to talk about that,” she said.
She also advises travellers to remove the bedspread as soon as you check in to your hotel room.
“Take that s*** off the bed the minute you walk in there and do not put it back on the bed,” she said.
“They are so filthy, they only get washed once a year unless there’s a visible stain on them.
“So unless someone has puked, bled, p***ed or s*** on them, they do not get washed for an entire year.
“Seriously, I’ve seen some things.”
In a follow-up video, she explained why parts of hotel rooms are neglected during the cleaning process.
“You would actually get in trouble if you took too long to clean hotel rooms and you would get in trouble for backing up the laundry if you’re sending down too many bedspreads and blankets and things like that.”
She added, “Totally depends on hotel, training, employee and management but I’m turned off for life because of what I’ve seen.”
