No ice

Most resorts and restaurants use clean, filtered water to make ice. However, if you are concerned about hygiene, skip it. 10best also notes that some small hotels and restaurants do not have the facilities to use filtered water, so you should consider carefully before using ice.

Skip the salad

Most major resorts promise their water is double-filtered, but you should still think twice about salads – they are meant to be eaten raw and the vegetables and fruit are simply rinsed in water.

"If you're not craving them, skip them because not all restaurants follow proper food safety procedures."

Used to brush teeth

In some countries around the world, their filtered water may be absolutely clean. But in many places, you can not be sure where the water you drink comes from. Therefore, if you are careful, you can use bottled water to brush your teeth and wash your face. When bathing, you should also limit drinking water from the shower.

Drink safe water

Safe drinks are sterilized drinks (boiled water at 100 degrees Celsius), fermented water or carbonated water. Therefore, in addition to filtered water when traveling to some places, you should also use other types of canned water.

Self-filtered water

If you go to countries where life is still poor, backward and clean water is limited, you should bring water purification and disinfection tablets to ensure your own safety and avoid contracting waterborne diseases.

Ask the hotel directly

If you have any doubts or concerns, you can call the hotel or motel where you booked your room to ask about the safety of the water you are using. In addition, you can visit the website of the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, to be able to get instructions on how to use the troubles when using unclean water.
