They’ve chosen those colorful carpets on purpose!
Why? To hide stains. Imagine any kind of stains you want, and chances are, they’re ingrained in your rich, colorful carpet. Of course, tiles are easier to clean, but those colorful carpets can also be viewed as works of art and blend in with the decor.
So they’re technically doing double duty. In recent years, the popular colors include brown tones, grays, and non-directional designs with heavy layers of texture.
Even though the CDC DID indicate cleaning soft surfaces like carpets during COVID, it doesn’t give further specifications. One industry report, however, does mention that some hotels are moving toward installing more hard floors.
But for now, don’t sit on the carpet, and be sure to bring slippers.

7 thoughts on “8 Disgusting Things Hotels Are STILL Doing to Save Money”
OMG – I quit my job and have taken the summer off to travel. The Quality Inn in Tyler TX has been the most disgusting hotel I have every stayed at. Bugs, flys, roaches, no pool, dirty, door didn’t close properly, safety issues, horrible and gross complementary breakfast. I wrote to the company and told them they really needed to fix that hotel. It’s not fair the Stagg have to work in that environment.
When I stay in a hotel/motel I bring along my can of Lysol and spray it on toilets, remote controls sinks and bathtub or shower floors. It may sound extreme, but after reading about housekeeping unprofessional lazy cleaning I’ll protect myself from infectious diseases. Housekeeping used to be a high standard of cleanliness. I’ve witnessed after covid was so called over, a housekeeping employee was not wearing gloves cleaning toilets and making up beds. Yikes!!
When Covid hit I purchased a hand held uv lite for about $70 from Amazon and ran it over the tv remote remote and and all touchable surfaces.
You are absolutely right to carry an anti-bacterial spray. When I travel I do the same thing. I spray everything until all surfaces are damp, then leave the room for a couple of hours because the fumes are overwhelming. Additionally, I never use the furniture drawers even though I spray them as well.
I carry spray Lysol and a can of Hot Shot bedbug spray. You know that mattresses are infrequently cleaned or changed; most of the time a mattress stays until it’s too late and bedbugs are visible.
No surprise. Unclean carpets, sheets, linens, etc. invite BEDBUGS which can adhere to you or your clothing, go home, and infect everything you have. Local health inspectors are few and far between.
