Taking to social media, she advised hotel guests to immediately ask for new bedsheets upon checking into their hotel room.

"Everything," she said.

"Linen, comforter, top cover, ask for everything new."

She claimed that housekeepers are trained to refresh ONLY the linen.

"Your comforters can go for about a week or two without being changed," she alleged.

"Sometimes the top covers too."

The former hotel employee further claimed that housekeepers wait until they see stains to change the comforters and top covers.

Lastly, she warned viewers against getting in their hotel beds until their bedding has been changed.

Many viewers were shocked by this new information.

One person wrote: "I wish I could just travel and not worry about germs.";

And a second one said: "Now I don’t wanna stay at hotels."

However, a second hotel employee agreed with Miss Josephine's statement, saying: "This is 100 percent correct!"
