I’m a cleaning fan – six things I do when I stay at a hotel and why I always carry my own supplies

DESPITE people going to hotels to make sure they have a safe and clean place to rest while on vacation, sometimes you can’t trust housekeeping to have cleaned every single corner of your room.

In fact, a cleaning fan and mom has revealed the six things she always cleans when she spends the night at her favorite hotel.

Rochelle Nicole, who posts under Niki’s Side of CleanTok, revealed she doesn’t think housekeeping gets enough time between bookings to do thorough cleanings.

“I cannot go out of town without packing a suitcase full of cleaning supplies,” she began in her video.

The first thing she packed was Lysol wipes, a disinfecting spray, a bottle full of Dawn dish soap and vinegar, and a hand soap.

Additionally, she brought a scrubbing wand, a duster, a handheld vacuum, and her own set of sheets.

Once she arrived at the hotel, she started off her quick 30-minute cleaning routine by spraying the disinfectant in her room.

She then moved on to the bathroom, where she scrubbed “anywhere that might have bodily fluids.”

The cleaning pro cleaned the entire toilet and the bathtub to make sure it was squeaky clean.

“We’re also sanitizing any high-touch areas in the room,” she explained in her video.

Additionally, she used a floor scrubber that she wrapped in a Lysol wipe as a mop in the bathroom.

She also made sure to spray light switches, doorknobs, the phone, and the bed’s headboard – dusting it as well.

As the last step, she checked the bed for any signs of bed bugs and brought her own sheets to cover the mattress with.

Following her videos, many people took to the comment section to reveal they also did the same thing as her.

One woman wrote: “I am the same way!

“And I got a pair of hotel slippers specifically for walking in around the room!”

A second added: “I take my own sheets, towel, and rag.”

“Needed to go to Airbnb in January and I made everyone wait in the car while I cleaned down the entire house with bleach, Microban wipes, vinegar, and more,” a third woman claimed.
