5 Things You Need to Avoid Touching at a Hotel Room
#5 – The Ice Bucket
This is another item hotel maids tend to skip over, so the ice bucket is obviously full of germs and can quickly get contaminated. What’s worse is that the ice machine itself is rarely cleaned, making them an ideal ground for bacteria to grow and spread.
To stay safe, when you need ice, call the front desk and ask them for plastic bags to hold ice so you can avoid swallowing harmful bacteria along with your drink.
Actually, these ice buckets are supposed to be cleaned at least once every month, but that’s probably not happening. Just pretend there is no ice bucket in the room.
