Potentially hundreds of different people stay in the same hotel room over the course of a year, making them a haven for germs.

How can you protect yourself?  Knowledge is power!

What are the germiest places in a hotel room?

• Doorknobs 
• Light switches
• The remote control
• The telephone receiver
• The bedspread

How can you protect yourself?

• Wipe down surfaces with an antibacterial wipe or wet washcloth with soap on itAn antibacterial wipe
• Open doors and turn on lights using your shirt sleeve, a towel, or a tissue
• Cover the remote control with the plastic shower cap the hotel provides (this is what I do) or with the plastic ice bucket liner
• Remove the bedspread before lying on the bed.  Most hotels don’t wash bedspreads very frequently.
