When we arrive at a hotel room, the first thing we usually do is drop off our bags, explore the space, and maybe turn on the TV. However, there’s a small gesture that can make a big difference in terms of safety and prevention: turning on the bathroom light immediately upon entering. While it may seem like a trivial action, there are important reasons behind this recommendation.
1. Check that everything is in order.
Turning on the bathroom light is a quick way to ensure the room has been properly cleaned and that there are no visible problems such as leaks, insects, mold, or a damaged toilet and shower. As a closed and humid space, the bathroom is prone to accumulating odors, mold, or even small pests that could go unnoticed if not checked promptly.
