A recent disclosure suggests that hanging a wet towel on the door handle is advisable when staying in a hotel.

On the 4th of this month (local time), the online media outlet Sanook quoted the NFPA (National Fire Protection Association) saying, “In case of a fire in a hotel, covering your nose and mouth with a wet cloth can help you escape safely.”

They further added, “If you breathe in with your mouth, you can suffocate from the smoke as it enters the airways. Therefore, it’s recommended to cover your mouth with a towel and keep it clean enough to take short breaths.”

However, the media outlet shared the appropriate usage, stating that the dampness could hinder your breathing if you don’t wring out the towel after soaking it in water.

In the case of fire, excavation may get longer if you have to find and wet a towel.

In such emergencies, every second counts. By having a wet towel readily available on the door can prevent wasting time looking for one. This immediate accessibility ensures a swift response and enhances safety during evacuation.

Moreover, hanging a wet towel also serves another purpose- it helps reduce the humidity in the room.

As the wet towel dries, it releases moisture into the air, making humidity control possible.

Thus, it is recommended to take a moment to hang a wet towel for better sleep and immediate response in case of an emergency.
