Former hotel manager reveals gross reason why you should NEVER use the toiletries in your room

A former hotel manager has revealed why guests should avoid the toiletries in their room.

In a viral TikTok video, Melissa Hanks shared two things she would never use while staying at a hotel.

The TikTok was posted in response to a comment telling people not to use the coffee maker.

Hanks said, “As a former hotel manager and an avid coffee drinker, I will never use the coffee machine in a hotel room.”

Hanks shared footage of a coffee maker and said the filter never gets washed, despite seeing people put things other than water on it.

The video showed two reusable toilet pumps that Hanks warned never to use.

She claimed to have seen bodily fluids in refillable shampoo and conditioner bottles and advised against using them unless they were locked.

“I’ve seen Nair and God knows what else is out there,” she said.

The video has been viewed more than 1.7 million times and received thousands of comments from frightened hotel guests.

“I used the refillable shampoo yesterday and now I’m in a panic,” commented one user.

Another said, “Why did I have to see this while I was staying at the hotel?”

While one person said ‘I’m never using anything in a room again!!!’

Other hotel employees shared their stories in the comments. One of them said, “I was working at a resort and saw the housekeeper wipe the toilet and then use that same rag to wipe the coffee pot.”

One person commented, “As a former housekeeping manager at Disney, I also NEVER use glass cups in rooms.”

Another commented, “After being a hotel housekeeper, I never want to stay in a hotel again.”

Hanks shared a series of videos with hotel advice to her 68,000 followers on TikTok, including things she does when she stays in hotels.

She shares tips from requesting new toiletries to removing bedding.
