Introduction
Checking into a hotel room can be a comforting part of any trip—fresh linens, climate control, and a temporary escape from your daily routine. But have you ever wondered if your room is truly clean, especially in those hidden places like under the bed? Here's a clever travel "recipe" that requires no cooking but could bring you peace of mind: tossing a water bottle under your hotel bed. Let’s unpack why this quick trick is worth adding to your travel routine.
Ingredients:
1 sealed water bottle (any size will do)
A curious mind
A few seconds of your time
Preparation:
As soon as you enter your hotel room, take a quick visual scan to ensure everything looks clean and tidy.
Grab your water bottle and gently toss it under the bed—not too hard, just enough to let it roll beneath.
Get down on one knee (or use your phone camera) and take a look under the bed to retrieve it.
Tips for Serving and Storing:
If the bottle rolls freely and returns clean, you’ve likely got a well-maintained room.
If it stops abruptly, hits unexpected objects, or comes back dusty and covered in hair—well, that tells a different story.
Consider asking for a room change if the area under the bed looks neglected. This could be a red flag for deeper hygiene concerns.
