KATHARINE McPhee is a clean freak!

The American Idol season five runner-up — who releases her sophomore album, Unbroken, on Jan. 5 — says she sanitizes “everything” when she walks into a hotel room.

“It depends on the hotel but I always take off the covers and blankets on the bed and put them on the floor or closet,” she told the USA Today newspaper. “I try and make sure the bathroom is clean.

“When I am on the road I am in so many different hotels that if it is late and I can’t call housekeeping, I will find myself getting down and cleaning the bathroom myself or I will lay towels down over dirty carpets and bathroom floors.”

The star then revealed her favorite location spot.

“Cabo (San Lucas, Mexico) because it’s two hours from my home in Los Angeles and you feel like you are in a different world,” Katharine said. “It’s quick and easy and I love the restaurants. My family has a timeshare so I try and get down there at least once per year.

“Lying on the beach or sitting by the pool is so amazing. Every once in a while I will rent jet skis. There is nothing quite like jet skiing on the open ocean.”
