We expect hotels to be clean every time we arrive, but sometimes, that is not the case. Did you know some items in a hotel room aren’t cleaned for every visitor?
Blanche Garcia, from ‘Hotel Impossible’ on the Travel Channel, dishes out hotels’ dirty little secrets.

3 Tips to Stay Sanitary
1. The first thing that Blanche Garcia advises guests to do when coming to a hotel is to put luggage and suitcases in the bathtub. This is because bed bugs aren’t able to penetrate the porcelain.
2. The next thing to do is actually check if there are any bed bugs, to begin with. How to check for them is pull the sheets up and look for dark areas and/ or blood stains on the edges of the mattress itself. If there is no sign of bed bugs, you are free to set luggage wherever in the room. If you do find bed bugs, we suggest you hit the road!
3. A couple items that may be iffy on cleanliness are the throw pillows and comforter cover that usually is placed on the end of the bed. She also suggests that you bring and wear slippers because “things” can be lurking and living in the carpet fibers.
Obviously, when going on vacation, staying in a hotel is one of the most popular choices.
