Hotel Kettles: Hidden Health Risk? Clean Before You Sip!

• Hotel room electric kettles are often not properly cleaned, posing health risks.
• Guests use kettles for boiling various foods like noodles and eggs, leaving residues and bacteria.
• Uncleaned kettles create a favorable environment for bacterial growth, leading to stomach problems and infections.
• Mineral deposits accumulate, affecting water quality; boiling alone may not make very dirty water safe.
• Precaution: Check kettle, boil and discard water once, use only for water, or request a replacement.
