The Shocking Truth About Hotel Bedspreads!

Description

When you check into a hotel, the sheets are fresh. The pillowcases are clean. The towels are new. But that decorative bedspread on top? It has not been washed in weeks. Maybe months. Hotels wash sheets and pillowcases after every guest. That is standard. But the heavy comforter or bedspread on top? Industry surveys show most hotels wash them every 2 to 4 weeks. Some only wash them when there is a visible stain. A Marriott housekeeper told reporters they are trained to straighten the bedspread, not replace it. Washing a heavy bedspread costs 5 to 8 dollars per unit including industrial laundry. A hotel with 300 rooms washing bedspreads daily would spend over 500,000 dollars a year just on that one item. So they skip it. That is why many hotels have switched to a duvet with a removable cover instead. The cover gets washed. The duvet inside does not. Next time you check in, pull the bedspread off and toss it on the chair. Sleep under the sheets. They are the only thing that was definitely washed today. Subscribe to TrueMoney.
