Blankets
For most of us, the first thing we want to do after traveling all day is relax. Don’t be so quick to jump on your hotel bed, though. According to a former hotel housekeeper, the SHEETS are changed daily, not the blankets. The blankets only get changed if they’re stained or wet.
And FYI: it was likely on the floor before you used it too. The housekeeper also said that the best way to avoid a dirty blanket is by calling downstairs and requesting an extra blanket. Those are the ones that are more likely to have been cleaned.
Oh, and that bedspread that’s lying on top of the bed? It should be removed as soon as you walk in, and don’t put it back on for the rest of your stay. They are entirely filthy, the former employee said.
Apparently, they only get washed about once a year, if that, unless there’s a visible stain on them.
Coffee Makers
Coffee makers are only superficially cleaned in general. This means a quick spray, and they’re wiped down because most hotels care more about appearance and speed than actual cleanliness.
Coffee makers are seldom deep-cleaned. So this means that there are lots of bacteria and occasionally even mold growing inside because of all the stagnant water and filthy cleaning.
