I’m a former hotel manager – there’s a gross reason you should never leave your toothbrush in your bathroom
A FORMER hotel manager has revealed the very gross reason you should pack your toothbrush away when you aren’t using it.
TikToker Melly, who goes by the name @melly_creations, often shares her tips and tricks from her days of being a manager of a hotel.
A recent video explained why you should not leave your toothbrush in the room bathroom, especially if you have been rude to guests.
She said: “Here’s why you should not be rude to hotel staff.
“When turning your room while you’re staying in a hotel, I have heard of housekeepers who clean certain areas in bathrooms with a guest’s toothbrush that you don’t want to have near your mouth.”
“Keep your toothbrush packed away just to avoid any situation like this.”
However she added that she “had never done it and would fire staff” if they had done it.
People were stunned in the comments.
One person said: “In all my years of travel, I never once thought about this, Thank you.”
Another person simply said: “My toothbrush is always packed away.”
A different hotel manager has revealed how being nice to staff can actually get you some freebies.
Chintan Dadhich, general manager of the Conrad New York Downtown hotel, claimed that guests should always tell their hotel staff that they’re visiting for a special occasion.
He said: “These little nuggets … help us create some surprise and delight for our guests.
“So, we use them to our advantage to make sure that the guests leave happy.”
Chintan also recommends just asking for upgrades and said that if there’s one going, guests will often be given the better room with no extra cost.
He continued: “If the hotel rooms have an upgrade available, sometimes there might be a small charge attached with it, a lot of times they’ll just give it to you.
“Asking never hurts.”
