The secret extra use for the bathroom hairdryer in hotels

HOTEL rooms contain many mysteries, including why there are never plug sockets next to the bed or how come the curtains never meet in the middle?

This means that they become increasingly dirty over an extended period of time.

He said: “There must be some things you can do with a hairdryer that I am not aware of because some of them were pretty germy.”
