<p>I travel, I inspect (see U of K post), and I go to sleep… </p>

<p>When I get home: I wash what I used, place anything I didn’t use in the dryer, and vacuum the bag. </p>

<p>If you’re the very concerned type; you could always use a construction grade trash bag and a twist tie. (eliminating the zipper issue). </p>

<p>As for placing your bags in the bathtub, don’t bother, it’s not uncommon for bathrooms to have lots of cracks and hiding places and tubs provide no protection. (not uncommon for a professional who knows what they are doing to come behind someone who didn’t know how to treat for BB and find that the BB have moved from the bedroom to the bathroom to temporally get away from a repellant insecticide). </p>

<p>“”“Bed bugs can be found at many first class hotels. They don’t take measures unless housekeeping happens to notice them.”“” - True but most better hotels at least train their staffs on what to look for and how to respond quickly…</p>
