The maid, who cleaned luxury suites in Manchester and London for more than a decade, said: “You’d be surprised how many treat the kettle like a general-purpose pot because they don’t want to use the sink.
“I’ve seen people boiling socks, pants, even seafood.”
It said guests focus on towels and beds, not the kettle, warning: “Boiling water kills most germs, but not all.
“According to experts, certain bacteria and residue from non-food items can stay behind, especially if the water wasn’t brought to a full boil or if the item was oily or chemical-based.”
