Air hostess Esther Sturrus has shared some useful hotel room hacks, including a warning about the one item guests should avoid touching: the TV remote.

 

Esther Sturrus, a flight attendant for Dutch airline KLM, recently posted on TikTok, advising hotel guests to steer clear of touching the TV remote directly. She explained, "Those things are dirty," and suggested a simple solution to avoid direct contact.

 

Instead of handling the remote, Esther recommended using the shower cap provided by the hotel. By wrapping the cap around the remote, guests can change channels without touching the buttons. This hack ensures cleanliness without sacrificing convenience.

 

Esther's TikTok followers quickly chimed in with their own tips. One user mentioned, "I always take sterile wipes for the remote," while another added, "Omg, yes the TV remote; I hate touching those things."

 

Esther also shared another clever use for the shower cap: covering shoes. Placing the cap over the soles of shoes before packing them in a suitcase keeps clothes clean. She noted, "Use it as a cover over your shoes!" This tip was well-received, although one commenter joked, "I guess I'm the only one who brings three to five pairs of shoes on vacation."

 

One of Esther's most popular hacks involves ensuring a dark room for better sleep. She advised, "Are your curtains not closing properly? Use a clothes hanger to keep them shut." By clipping the curtains together with a hanger, guests can block out unwanted light, making it easier to sleep in, especially during early sunrises.

 

Fans of Esther's TikTok praised her ingenuity. Comments ranged from "The hanger for the drapes is genius," to "Thank you, I hate light in the room at 6am." Others expressed their appreciation with remarks like "Finally someone who knows what she is talking about," and "Great tips, very clever and useful."

 

Esther's practical advice has resonated with many, making her hotel room hacks a hit among travelers looking for simple ways to enhance their stay.
