The
women -and they are almost always women- who clean hotel rooms before
and after you stay there have a hard job. They clean up after guests no
matter what kind of mess they leave behind, they are allowed little time
do it, and they don't make much money. And if they don't have to use
their real names, they will tell you some things you might not know
about their jobs.
8. THEY SUGGEST YOU DON’T USE THE CUPS.
Although
you’ve probably heard warnings about the bacteria teeming on your hotel
room’s remote control, hotel maids reveal that there’s another item in
your room that's rarely cleaned as well as it should be. “Not using the
cups is my number one rule that I tell everyone,” Booboo_the_bear says.
“I’ve definitely seen [other maids] polishing glasses with the same
cloth they just used to dust the room. I’ve never seen the toilet brush
used but knowing some of the people I work with, it wouldn’t surprise me
in the slightest.”
Author and hotel worker Jacob Tomsky adds
that the minibar glasses need to be spotless, but maids don’t have dish
soap in their housekeeping carts. “So some housekeepers will wash the
glasses in the sink with hot water and shampoo. But many of them use
furniture polish because it leaves the glasses spot-free,” he tells USA
Today.
That's just one of
12 secrets hotel maids share with us at Mental Floss.
