  1. One of the reasons why hotels do NOT clean their hotel rooms is because they are depending on the guests to do it for them. The lady who said she cleaned certain items with alcohol wipes did not say to use 1 alcohol wipe per item. It does take more than a few minutes to sanitize a room. I would also bring a black light with you to see the germs on the sheets, pillowcases, blankets, and towels. If a towel shelf is situated above the toilet (yuck), do NOT use the towels and wash cloths. Usually, the bedspread or comforter has not been recently washed, so upon entering the room, immediately take it off the bed for good. Never make coffee from the small machine in your room. If your room has an air conditioner in it, check and see if the screen has been recently cleaned or if it is dusty. I would not use the first tissue poking up from the tissue box, either; throw it away. Some people ask for an unopened box of tissues, and the same with the toilet paper.
