@kathleenritz32

I used to work as a maid some years ago while I was in college. It was really hard work!! I always made sure the rooms were super clean but there were some things I did not agree with how the rooms were cleaned or the laundry. One was the brand and type of cleaners. I don't know if anyone knows this but even though the sheets are laundered and changed every day, the comforters are not! I never thought that was right and it's disgusting, really. I used to always tell the owners the comforters should be changed every day! Who knows who and what has been sitting on the comforters, even dogs and people might get a disease or fleas, bed bugs, etc.! but they still would not change them every day. I used to always tell them, in my opinion that the bed sheets should not only be laundered with a good brand of detergent, but Clorox bleach should be used and not the cheap brands that are not effective, but they used to just tell me, "It would be too much of a cost to the business." I used to tell them instead of using just a disinfectant spray on the bathtubs, bathroom sinks and toilets, cleanser and bleach, Fabuloso, or Pine Sol should be used together to clean them. They just did not want to pay the extra costs to have the rooms clean, I guess they just thought too much money and too much time, then I found out it was not just that hotel, it was all of them! The comforters were never changed unless they were really noticeably dirty. The maids were always expected to work fast and the owners were always happy with my work, but I just always thought if it were me, I would want my room and bedding clean the way I would clean it. I don't think I would ever want to stay in any hotel or motel after what I know. Anyone out there that does, just tell the owner or person at the front desk, you need one or two more (or however many you need) of comforters, at least.

I think if ever i would just bring my own comforter and put theirs to the side. but would of course fold it up and put in a bag so it not just sitting on the floor. so can replace comforter anytime they gotta check room and have mine in a dif bag that is suitable to be stored with my stuff. or if ever use ultravoilet test an check for any bad stuff and use ur own if u are real fussy about stuff anytime.
@Kenosene
@Kenosene Год назад
Well, I way of not having to deal with dirty conforters is to use duvets. The duvet covers are cleaned every day along with the sheets. That would have been a solution for that hotel. About the cleaners used, I don't know how that hotel operates but in the ones I've worked they use industrial chemicals designed for hotel usage, and your skin can tell they are harsher than your regular supermarket brand.

If by comforters you mean duvets it doesn't surprise me they aren't washed after single use. It's just not viable both from monetary cost and cost to the environment. Everything used... bleach, disinfectants , cleaners go back into the ground and then back into our water. Overuse is very bad. I agree the work is extremely arduous and I congratulate every worker.... perhaps more so the ones who work in facilities like this. 😊x

All the guests see are the housekeepers, who get all the complaints. I wonder what happens to the worn linens. After a number of washes, the linens need to replaced. I'm thinking some towels just get lost, or guests keep some each cycle. Maybe 1%, so the wash facility is constantly adding new linens in with the washed linens.

It's rare. It has to be visibly dirty. Think about how much more room they take up compared to sheets. For the washer, for the dryer, for the cart, for storage.
