However, in a recent video she revealed some of the things she always does when entering a hotel room, which she learned when she was cabin crew.

The TikTok video was titled: “When you used to be a flight attendant so you KNOW.

“Checked into a hotel room for a night away with my husband.”

In the first part of the video, she takes off the decorative pillows and throw and puts them on the floor.

This is because these are rarely washed so are likely to have been used by multiple guests before hand.

She then puts a towel over the armchair in the room.

This is for similar reasons about rarely being washed and being a “high traffic” area with guests putting dirty shoes and suitcases on hotel chairs, or even sitting on them naked.

And to finish, she wipes the TV remote down, because these items are often missed by housekeeping when they are cleaning a room.

The video has been liked more than 75,000 times on TikTok with people loving her tips.

Someone wrote: “I’m glad I’m not the only one who throws the decorative cover and pillows miles away from the bed, They give the ick.”

Caroline responded: “You don’t want to know what I’ve seen happen in these rooms.

Someone who said they had worked in multiple hotels said: “Never use the comforter they maybe get washed once a year.”

Others shared their own tips for when they stay at hotels.

One person said: “Sandwich bags for remote controls! Winner!

A hotel worker has revealed where the dirtiest parts of the room are.

And a hotel cleaner revealed the five things they never clean in the rooms.
