It appears the room that is ꦍsupposed to get you clean may be th🎀e dirtiest.
Se💜veral TikTokers have taken to social media to warn fellow travelers to clean th💯eir tubs — before even taking a bath.
One TikToker — which gained 709,000 views — of the visitor bleaching the tub “before even laying a finger on it.”
Another user went even further and used a bath liner — or what is called a “tub condom” — in an effort to protect themselves.
“A life saver for hotel bathrooms & rentals,” reads the video’s caption.
According to microbiologist Philip M. Tierno, even if the tub looks clean, there on the surface called “biofilm.”
The biofilm is “a nearly undetectable layer of bacteria that sticks to tubs and other surfaces,” the microbiologist told The Sun.
A study revealed that nea🍷rly 81% of surfaces in a hotel room are covered in re💧sidual fecal matter from the previous occupant, however, it was recently discovered that the bathtub is considered to be the dirtiest.
This latest find is the most recent of several nasty, dark secrets that hotels don’t tell their customers.
One housekeeper came forward in August to reveal several things that people should avoid touching the glassware when spending the night in a𝔉 hotel.
“Usually the housekeeper just rinses these things out in the bathroom sink and dries them off with the same rag that they used to clean the rest of the room with,” explained the housekeeper on TikTok.
The employee also warned about using an in-room ice bucket, as sometimes people use it as a water dish for pets and do “much worse �🌺�things” with them.
Another former hotel worker came forward to suggest that occupants should wipe down the TV remote with a Clorox wipe before using it. She also cautioned against immediately jumping into bed w𓂃ithout setting aside coverings.
“Those bedspreads get cl𓃲eaned like maybe once a year, so don’t sit on those,” warꦦned the worker.
