I was up guys hang out with my wife this
week we’re on a road trip and we stopped
off in Oregon at a hotel just to spend
the night and we brought with us one of
these little investigative tools this is
a UV flashlight that I used with my
cousin with the glowing scorpions
project but UV light also helps identify
bodily fluids so we thought it might be
fun tonight just to shine the light
around our room and see what kind of
things we could dig up maybe things that
we don’t want to find I don’t know
because we haven’t actually slept in our
beds yet go ahead let’s light up the bed
my wife’s got this little black light
flashlight here what this does is it
illuminates human fluids should we take
a look at the bed pretty good all right
one point for Best Western let’s peel
back the sheets and see if we can find
anything here well let’s see what’s here
which those just look like they’re marks
of some kind this is kind of a good sign
guys they’re not seeing anything
fluorescing nothing really off-putting
the bed is pretty clean let’s go check
out the bathroom
oh look there’s a little spot the
government’s by the sink there only
that’s toothpaste or something of that
nature on the faucet you can see like
little remnants of the white towel that
was used to wipe it down looking down
the floor though you can see it’s
actually pretty clean I don’t see many
spots so kudos to the cleaners here so
the wall looks completely clean and then
we turn off the lights add a little UV
light and now we can see there are
actually spots everywhere oh my goodness
look at the light switch that’s pretty
gross there’s all kinds of stuff
everywhere so Wow how dirty your light
switches and you’re touching those
things all the time huh I think we’ll be
washing those down see it looks
relatively normal put the light on it
looks pretty gross
normal gross Wow it all had right here’s
the clean remote and if we do an
inspection on that nothing really too
concerning the linens all look pretty
good I’m actually going to be pretty
confident sleeping my bed tonight that
doesn’t look bad at all so they must
really wash these things it makes me
wonder what the difference would be if
we got a cheap little motel room okay so
guys update we were traveling home and
we stopped over here at this little
motel the BEST WESTERN passed our test
with flying colors
so we wondered what a motel would be
like in contrast let’s go check it out
all right so this is our first time
seeing this guy’s we have no idea what
to expect so let me just get this thing
turned on boom oh wow look at that you
can see right behind the coffee maker
again the walls are really dirty it’s
amazing how much stuff is on the walls
apparently that cleaners don’t know
about so apparently they allow pets in
this motel and you can see by sweeping
the UV light there’s a spot right there
looks like maybe some mater right back
over here by the door as well in the
corner something was cleaned up there at
the bed that’s glow in there just
because there’s a rip in the seam that
looks pretty clean on the top you know
let’s see bad he’s like very clean as
well it’s good news all right well can
sleep in peace you know for a motel I’m
actually pretty impressed out of the
light switches look not too bad actually
relatively clean time to see the
bathroom do we have in here it seems
like in most of these hotels we’ve been
to it’s the walls that get neglected
look down here there’s quite a bit of
gunk on that wall there when you turn
the light on can tell alright looks like
we got a fairly decent motel looks
pretty clean okay so it’s a week later
and I’ve just checked into a really
expensive hotel here in San Francisco
it’s about four times as expensive as
any of the hotels we’re at earlier and
you can see it’s quite a bit smaller as
well so now I am really curious to know
how does a really posh hotel hold up
compared to just a little motel like we
were in the other day I brought my UV
flashlights so let’s close the blinds
and check it out it is dark in here as
we can starting over in the bed area and
they make all the bed sheets white very
hard actually to pick up anything on
white sheets cuz whites about as
reflective to get
so far so good though huh oh look on the
pillow there who knows what that is but
that just popped into view even with the
daylight on it if you shine in the UV
light those spots appear three spots of
who knows what and who knows if it’s
been cleaned or not but I probably won’t
be using that pillow tonight all right
now here’s a fun one the remote control
do we even want to see this you can see
it’s covered in little flecks all over
the place I’m assuming that’s from the
cotton rag that they used to wipe it
down so maybe they do clean the remotes
that’s reassuring
could be pretty nasty if they didn’t
look at that right there on the floor
that looks kind of nasty I just popped
up out of nowhere
we’ve got hairs we’ve got bits of fluff
there’s quite a bit of dirt in there as
well it doesn’t look like it’s a very
well taken care of there is something on
that card and I don’t know what it is
but you can see how it starts glowing
under the light there well look at that
water for six dollars and fifty cents
per bottle
wow that’s pretty grimy look at those
buttons guys the buttons on the
thermostat oh wow look at this by the
entryway here there’s all kinds of nasty
stuff in the carpet there it almost
looks like something took a leak on the
carpet something spilled for sure maybe
vomit maybe somebody threw up here
there’s like little trails within here
all right let’s check out the bathroom
next here’s what the light switch looks
like with the light on doesn’t really
look that bad I mean everything in
general looks pretty nice the walls here
oh man just like every hotel we’ve been
to it almost looks like toothpaste
residue or some kind of fluid looking at
the side of the toilet here looks
relatively clean right doesn’t look too
bad but you put a UV light on it and all
the dirt and grime jumps right out at
you this corner is hideous
with a dirty that is amazing so
disgusting under UV light have to say
this is one of the dirtiest hotels we’ve
been at yet and it’s four times the
price so there you have a guys there’s a
little more insight into your living
conditions when you’re away from home
and if you want to get one of these UV
flashlights off the internet for about
20 bucks try doing a tour of the hotel
room the motel room or if you’re feeling
really brave try doing a tour of your
own house in the dark that’s a very
eye-opening experience anyway thanks for
joining me for this experiment guys and
I’ll be looking for you in the next
video talk to you then
