Myth: If its not raining or there arent clouds overhead, youre safe from lightning.
Fact: Lightning often strikes more than three miles from the center of the thunderstorm, far
outside the rain or thunderstorm cloud. Bolts from the blue can strike 10-15 miles from the
thunderstorm. So be cautious, even if the storm has passed.

The Dirty
Truth About
Your Next
Hotel Room!
June 2015
Volume IV Issue VI Page 7
We normally discuss everything and anything associated with housecleaning issues but we thought wed mix it up
this week since were in the middle of the vacation season. Plus, Im actually typing this weeks column from a hotel
room so this is helpful advice for me personally. Your hotel room is your home away from home, with a few exceptions,
hundreds of strangers from every corner of the world have slept there, and the hotel staff may not have the same standards of cleanliness that you do at home.
A study conducted by the University of Virginia found that people infected with a cold who spent a night in a hotel
room left contagious germs on nearly 35 percent of objects they touched. The study showed that a virus can live on
objects like faucet handles and ice buckets for at least one day - disturbing evidence of what might be waiting when
you wheel your suitcase into a suite. But relax!! Weve got you covered so that your next hotel stay can be both relaxing
and sanitary. Check out these five quick tips..
Read Hotel Reviews
There are no international standards for hotel cleanliness. Price, location or a brand name will not guarantee completely sanitary digs. So until some international clean commission starts sending out fastidious officials to size up
squalid toilets in hotels around the world, your best bet is to find out what your fellow travelers are saying. Check out
Google, TripAdvisor or Expedia for advice from real people.
Wash Your Hands
Frequent hand washing has been proven to reduce the transfer of colds and viruses, and will prevent bacteria getting
from whatever it is youre touching to your mouth, eyes or nose. So even if your hotel room is poorly sanitized, some
good ol hand washing will keep the icky germs at bay.
Fling Off the Bedspread
Youve probably heard this one before: Most hotels do not wash bedspreads after each unique guest (YUCK!). The frequency of laundering varies from hotel to hotel, so if the idea of an anonymous stranger cuddling up with the blanket
that now lies across your queen bed creeps you out, call your hotel and ask how often they wash their bedspreads. Or
bring your own blanket and remove the hotels altogether.
Disinfect, Disinfect, Disinfect
Bring a sanitizing gel or spray with you to the hotel. Key places to spray for germs include the phone, door knobs,
toilet handle, ice bucket, remote control and bathroom faucet handles.
Avoid The Glassware
A few states actually make it illegal for a hotel to use glass cups in a hotel room. In most hotels, however, theres no
guarantee that your room glasses and mugs arent simply rinsed off under the tap by the cleaning staff. The quick way
to deal with this is to run your cup under hot water for a minute or two before using it; this will kill most bacteria. Or
you can pack a mug from home.
