Hi all, quite some time ago I was in told by a friend never to use a hotel kettle as apparently people piss in them. The thought of it has put me off and I’ll never use one no matter how thirsty I am. Is this just a rumour or is there truth in this? |

"Omg I’m currently staying in a budget hotel chain and I’ll be sniffing the kettle before my morning coffee. Fuck that’s grim
"
It’s rank isn’t it, if true, I’m gasping for a brew now but I won’t be going near it! |

100 degrees I’m assuming would kill all bacteria and spores but as someone who was a housemaid in a hotel chain I personally wouldn’t use their kettles. Had people take a dump in them (they’d be thrown away obviously) A zooming one is people trying to cook things in them like pasta etc.
Never knew the importance of making sure I check inside the kettles until I found a turd in one. |

I will boil the kettle and then refill and use. Bit of piss won't kill you. Unless it's rat piss and you get weils disease.
If there's a coffee machine, Nespresso or whatever, I will never ever use it because I've lost track of the number of hotels I've stayed in where they aren't cleaned properly and there's bits of mold come out when you run a cleaning cycle on them. |

"Rinse it.
fill it.
Boil it.
Wash the outside in the boiling water.
No problem.
You know the pillows ? We shit in them. "
This 
Also, guess what stains go on the sheets?
And never ever touch the touch screen at McDonald's  |

I have a friend that manages a hotel for her parents. Some of the story's she's told me about what goes on and things she's found/had to clean up are shocking. |

HepA and E it definitely does and I know they're transmitted by contaminated water because that's what I used to test for when looking at crop irrigation methods, can't answer the rest and can't be arsed looking it up but I'm sure it'll be on the internet.

We always boil the kettle a couple of times and rinse.
Our daughter was a chamber maid for a while...enough said.
Mind you my father grew up in a pub with rooms in a very rough area in the early thirties, pissing in the kettle is nothing compared to some of the tales my grandparents told. |

The brother of a boyfriend I had many years ago once sent him a picture of a poo he'd had on top of the lid of a toilet in a service station. He'd done it to upload to a website that I think was called Ratemypoo.
He was an idiot. But I can totally picture him doing the same in a kettle just for fun  |

"Yeah, check the sheets on the bed before you sit/lay down. There could be nits there too.....  
Nits can’t live on sheets. Bedbugs however "
Yes, sorry - couldn't think of the correct word.
Hope my memory ain't going.....  |

I'd like to know where this pers gets his information from. It sounds like a myth that nobody could fact check to me. |

It’s no myth when social media has had videos of said disgraces posted which hold all the facts necessary  |

I was asked to remove 18 sofa beds from a certain budget hotel chain, as part of my job. "we've shat in this bed" was scrawled on the underside of one of them.
I do hope, the imbecile had a Scottish accent, jusht like Sean Connery. Shum people, eh?  |

Was it better looking than him? |

Having been a pro roadie for many years I have stopped in a lot of hotels all round the world I can honestly say I've never come across this. I guess I should say fortunately.
The most grisly 'prank' I heard of (amongst many, many, many of them!) was a 'Toploader' where someone would take a shit in the cistern rather than the bowl. You can imagine the mess/issues it causes. Although I can confidently report I was personally never the victim or a witness to this particular prank. |

You shit in pillows?
Does that cause pink eye or brown eye? |

"When I was a tour coach driver taking chinese tourists, I know for a fact that some of the female tour guides used to boil their knickers in the kettles to wash them"
I’m trying to think of a dark haired Suzy Wong type but having seen many such coaches probably more of a minging old harridan. |

"You’d probably not stay in a hotel room if you could see what people got up to in them…
I know there’s certain hotel rooms which I wouldn’t want to go in after we’ve been!
K"
Haha I was thinking the same |

It's unlikely to be a significant issue, when hotels have bathrooms. Maybe in the olden days of shared public bathrooms and people had to walk down the corridor but they perhaps provided a room potty? Though someone probably would contaminate that making porridge or mixing up packet soups  |

From my 45+ years in Hotel Management, within which I specialised in Front of House which includes Housekeeping, the "story" of people pissing in the kettle is a total MYTH!
With modern Housekeeping cleaning regimes prior to Covid and especially since the pandemic started, hotels are now cleaning all aspects of rooms far more stringently.
It has been known for guests to use the kettle to boil up their Pot Noodles, or even Packets of Soup, but with the majority of hotels nowadays having en-suite bathrooms, the inappropriate use of the kettle is long gone in terms of history. |
