Below, check out 5 ways to make a hotel room healthier for your family:
Get a non-smoking room
To ensure you and your kids will avoid any secondhand smoke, request that you reside on a nonsmoking floor or room when making your reservation. That way, you won't have to worry about when checking into the hotel!
Bring your own blanket
If you are flying somewhere and don't have space to put a blanket in your luggage, at least try to avoid using the comforter on the hotel. They often have a ton of dust hidden in them…or worse!
Stick to your exercise routine
It's vacation and you should enjoy it., but that doesn't give you an excuse to not stay active with your kids. If the hotel has a pool, go swimming or you can go for a walk or run around the premises.
Avoid the minibar
Avoiding the minibar–and all of the snacks/drinks in it–will save you calories AND money!
Wipe off the remote
Use an antibacterial wipe to clean the remote and phone and other commonly used items to get rid of any remaining dust and germs.
