How often do hotels have the comforters and pillows washed? |
Travel Info How often do hotels have the comforters and pillows washed? Travel Tips I am a flight attendant--and so, I stay in hotels a lot. I can tell you that they wash the sheets and pillow cases, but they do not wash the comforters. I am not sure if they ever get cleaned. So, I never use them--and if it very cold, I will just make sure the sheets cover my body, so my skin doesn't touch the comforter. and it doesn't matter how nice the hotel is-- they just don't wash the comforter... I have stayed in some really nice hotels. I had a friend get bed bugs @ a hotel.. pretty sick. Others I hear everytime they get used .. but thats not always the case .. sometimes it just better to spend the extra money for a nicer hotel :) That's a question you really don't want an honest answer on. I would guess once a year. Yuck! They rarely wash the comforters. Don't use them! Some hotels are now using duvet covers, that are washed between guests, but if it's just a standard bed spread/comforter, it is probably quite dirty. The pillows shouldn't be a problem though, since they are protected by the pillow case. Saw a story on tv about it. I worked in a hotel for a year in college and I can proudly say that we washed EVERYTHING EVERYDAY! I am a germophobe bad and I would disgruntled and complain if they were not. Some shifts wouldn't clean the comforters but on mine they did and we used hard cleaners, too. When you go to a hotel you can tell if they have been washed or just put back on. If you feel leery about it, just ask for another comforter. My sister and I when we travel always bring a travel blanket to sleep with or on. It works great! average hotel -pillows never! they cant wash pillows, they throw them out after a while. comforters they wash after the guest leaves. sheets and pillow cases they wash ever couple of days and when the guest leaves this is an average atleast where i worked however the maids do monitor the pillows and if they see something they get rid of them like a *** shot or whatever |
