I’ll never forget the one trip I took with friends, and someone in the group thought it would be a great idea to bring one of those UV flashlights to inspect the hotel rooms.

What started off as some funny discoveries quickly turned into a crime scene of piss and other bodily fluids EVERYWHERE… walls, ceiling, bed, carpet, sofa, kitchenette area, you name it!

And this would have been a 4-star hotel at the very least.

Since that day, I’ve never felt comfortable in a hotel.

That falls squarely under the “don’t ask questions you don’t want the answer to” category.

Get a deep UV flashlight (280nm Nichia LED works very well) with a high pass filter on the end to eliminate any stray visible light it emits. Fire it up in your own home in the dark. Deep UV is great for making things fluoresce and the high pass filter increases the signal to noise ratio, so to speak.

You will be absolutely disgusted. There are drops of liquid and other flakes of random shit everywhere. There is no escape, it would be a Herculean effort to clean it all and keep it clean.

Not saying that hotels aren’t nasty, but you’ve probably got a bunch of similar stains in your home or apartment right now.

  Yup, we have UV flashlights, and yes, we’ve tested our own home.
  
  You can’t escape stains, but there’s a huge psychological difference between stains that could only come from 2-4 people who likely aren’t doing crazy shit like jizzing on the ceilings vs. hundreds of random strangers doing god knows what in a place they will never see again! LOL

Don’t drink from anything in your room - glasses, coffee maker, faucet! Always wear shoes! Remove the bed spread. Put your suitcase on an elevated non fabric surface.

Did you check the microwave?
Just sayin’…
