That is an awesome hint. We're going on a week long vacation in Sept. and booked the room for a week. Am really glad to hear this. I also carry sterile wraps and wipe down door knobs, etc. the first time in the room. Then I do it at night when we return. Thanks for the hint.

You may cover the remote, but what about the bed spread? Those are actually worse than the remotes. They don't get wash every time.

If I have to sit around thinking about every germ that comes out , I would be floating around in mid air like angels and not touching everything. If I had to listen to every study that comes out from Harvard and other places , I wouldn't eat anything. Just eat in moderation. My philosophy in life is " A little bit of germ is good for the immune systems." Just wash your hands. I was at a hotel this weekend . I didn't lick the comforter or the remote LOL . I have been working with elementary kids for 34 years and have yet to be laid up or take extended sick time...now here is a place where germs are hanging around . Enjoy life and take the usual precautions but don't over do it.

That is exactly what I did when I used to have to travel for work!

A winning suggestion . As a ret.nurse I am always wiping doorknobs and sink handles to keep germs to a minimum.

Yes, I agree that the bedspread is nasty too. However, I simply don't use it. I immediately peel it off the bed since I don't need more than a sheet to keep me warm. The remote I do want to use.

Do you sleep with your pets???? just saying'. Wash your hands a lot . Don't touch your eyes and mouths. Germs are everywhere.
