How Dirty is the Hotel Remote Control?
Have you ever thought about how many different hands have come in contact with the hotel remote without being cleaned? This might not have been something that crossed your mind prior to 2020, but now it’s a question on the top of every guest's mind.
Simply put, the hotel remote control is VERY dirty. Time Magazine found that the single dirtiest item in the hotel rooms was the remote, which delivered bacteria readings as high as 498 - 5 times the acceptable level.
Experts recommend putting the remote in a clear plastic bag when using it to avoid contracting ecoli and other bacteria/viruses that may be lingering on the surface. Another option is the forthcoming product from Nonstop - UV Station. It has a UV-C sanitation compartment that is large enough to fit the vast majority of remotes on the market today, and it is rated to kill 99.999% of germs across the entire surface. All the hotel staff needs to do is place the remote in the sanitation compartment for 5 minutes between stays. That way you can clean the dirtiest item in the room without using an excessive amount of plastic.
