You might as well just bring those disinfectant wipes with you then and wipe all that stuff off yourself. I'd think that's less of a headache than all that.

Man! You guys are germophobes! LOL! I know the thought of all that is gross stuff but you all might as well walk around in a hazmat suit. I definitely would NEVER eat in a restaurant either...have you all seen those hidden camera videos?

I have heard this before but I would be grossed out washing my hose in a coffee maker...that in itself is disgusting. I would think the hose would be cleaner if I just took soap and water and washed the hose in the sink.

This is common practice! Those maids are just doing what they were taught to do! Dont use the cups period. Unless its the plastic ones with the wrapper around them.

Also dont use the remote, or the toilet, or the bed, or anything else in the room.

To avoid germs you have to sleep standing up in the corner... but usually that isnt clean either.

Um...I know it sounds disgusting, but aren't we all just animals anyway?? Isn't this what an Immune system is for?! That system, you forget, needs to be excercised just like any muscle in your body! If you get all squeamish and bleach everything you contact, a little flu-bug is gonna come around one day, and kill you!! Remember: Excercise LoL

After you take a shower in the morning toake the sheets off of your bed, put them in the tub and turn the water on.

The crew behind you will be thankful. (our crews usually stay in the same 3 rooms)

There may be something else at play here. I used to know a guy who brushed his teeth 10 times a day. (psst. not normal)

i bet your yokes, throttles, and O2 masks are dirtier than anything in your hotel room. i personally like to eat the greasiest food i can find, and then hand fly.

Because we always use the same rooms for crews I always take all the towels and sheets and put them in the tub so that they have to put fresh ones in for the next guy/gal. I had no idea about the glasses though, never even occurred to me they wouldn't be fresh ones from a dishwasher.
