While more and more hotels are "pet friendly" because they are no longer carpeted, the pet fee has only gone higher and higher.

I am not a stranger to pet fee, I have been traveling periodically with my dogs for 10 years. I am now seeing most of the hotels are charging a per night per pet fee, adds up to half or sometimes even more than the actual room cost. I am only seeing this in the last few years. Before they'd usually change a per night fee or a fixed fee for the entire stay.

Sure additional vacuuming or extra cleaning cost some more, but these hotels are all LVP hard floorings. They have to washing the beddings with or without pets. If there are actual pet damage sure. It does not cost 3x to clean the room because the dog was there for 3 nights vs 1.

It sure feels like it is a way to charge more because they can, especially when the pet fee ended almost as much as the actual room.

My recent road trip I ended up staying almost exclusively in Motel 6 because they are the only place that does not charge anything extra for pets. The only non motel 6 hotel I stayed at charged $25/night, but reasonable pet fee like that was a rare find.

I noticed I have several notebooks that are shared with me.

I can only "Hide from Shared" on OneDrive web interface. Is there a way to remove them for real? No one uses those anymore.

This is stupid. No putting them in bank is not a solution.

Ever since I started using CS I use SO many paper towels. Wiping on and off oils etc.

I feel so wasteful. Do you have alternative that is reusable? I am thinking about a dedicated sponge (never for dish washing), but I don't know if it can absorb oil well, and how I would remove oil from it. Not a fan of the idea of a bunch of oily rags either...

Ideas?
