Don’t Touch the Hotel Remote

When traveling, it’s nice to curl up in bed at the end of a long day and unwind while watching some television. But I never, ever, ever touch the remote.

Ever.

Studies have shown that the remote control is the dirtiest thing in the room and includes all kinds of bacteria since many people will use the restroom, not wash their hands, and then grab the remote.

I have a trick that I do every time and I recommend that you do the same.

Step 1: Find the ice bucket

Step 2: Look inside. There is almost always a clear plastic bag in there

Step 3: Put it over the remote and drop it in without ever touching it

Step 4: Click away!

I have been using this trick for over ten years and I recommend it to everyone.

Happy travels!
