Despite daily cleaning, germs can remain everywhere in the hotel room. This is how you can make your hotel room more pleasant and healthier:<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Even if older hotels often have more charm, over the years a lot of pathogens, dust and allergens accumulate there. So it's better to look for more modern accommodation.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>In cheaper hotels and guesthouses, wear long-sleeved pyjamas and socks to sleep in. This way you avoid unnecessary skin contact with the bedding and have an extra layer of protection between your body and the bedding.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Only use the bed for sleeping, not for eating or working on your laptop. Mattresses harbour a particularly large number of germs.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Ask at reception for a room that is suitable for allergy sufferers. Hotels often offer rooms for dust allergy sufferers where special attention is paid to reducing dust mites. Ask for extra pillowcases and additional sheets.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>For hotels in warmer climates, it is advisable to bring insect repellent with you, especially if the hotel is close to the water. 100mg of vitamin B1 or 300mg of brewer's yeast per day should also keep insects away from your body. Beware of signs of bedbugs: tiny blood stains on the pillow and mattress indicate bedbug infestation.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Do not walk barefoot or on socks through the hotel room, especially not in the bathroom, but only with slippers to avoid fungal infections on the feet.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>If your immune system is not quite one hundred per cent, beware of a hot bath in a hotel bathtub. Bathtubs can feed bacteria that cause folliculitis. It is also possible to contract bronchitis or even pneumonia from breathing in bacteria-laden, hot air in a full bath.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Before using the bathroom taps for the first time, turn on the hot water in the shower and on the tap, open the windows and leave the room for a few minutes. This kills bacteria that can cause Legionnaires' disease.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>When packing before travelling home, make sure that no insects are packed in your suitcase. When you get home, wash all items of clothing in the washing machine immediately. Put all non-washable items from the suitcase in the freezer for two days to kill off foreign bacteria.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hotel rooms are used by countless people.
