JAKARTA - While staying at the hotel, of course you expect a clean and comfortable room. Hotels often provide an environment free from dirt for their guests.

But before you relax in a comfortable hotel room, it's a good idea to consider what's hidden in the corners. This finding was revealed by research from the American Society for Microbiology.

Expert research reveals less hygienic hotel room items. The researchers examined various surfaces in different hotel rooms. They found fecess bacteria.

Nearly 81 percent of all surfaces tested show the presence of these bacteria. Here are the dirtiest items in the hotel room, as reported by VOI from the Travel Noire page on Wednesday, December 18, 2024.

Remote TV is a harmless object located on the side table of the bed. However, this object is full of bacteria. Hotel guests often hold remotes without washing their hands. This makes the remote TV a breeding ground for germs.

The small switch that touches to turn on the hotel room lights turns out to keep more bacteria than imagined. When doing the cleaning routine, these small buttons are often forgotten.

You may think the sink is a clean place, but think again. Wastafel is a breeding ground for bacteria, especially if guests don't wash their hands well after using toilets.

Not surprisingly, the toilet is also included in this list. Even though the cleaning staff is trying hard to clean it, many guests who use the same facility keep some germs alive.
