Undercover, under the covers! You would think that hotels have upgraded their cleaning methods post pandemic...but wait until you see this!

Many hotels boast about their cleaning protocols, but that doesn't necessarily mean that every part of the bed is as thoroughly-laundered as you'd hoped. In fact, one microbiologist revealed to CNN that the duvets on hotel beds are rarely washed, if ever.

"Believe it or not, the best place to put your luggage when you’re staying in a hotel isn’t on the bed. Or on the floor. Or even shoved inside the closet on one of those luggage rack thingies. Nope; the smartest travelers know to store their suitcases in the hotel bathroom—or better yet, inside the tub."

In fact, a study conducted by Travelmath found that four- and five-star hotels actually packed significantly more bacteria than their three-star counterparts.
