How clean are your hotel sheets? Investigation reveals shocking number that don’t wash their bedding between guests

AN UNDERCOVER investigation revealed something gross about hotel sheets, proving that they’re often not changed between guests.

The test, carried out by Inside Edition, showed that three hotel chains had failed to ensure that the rooms had been cleaned properly.

In each of the Manhattan rooms, investigators sprayed messages onto the bedspreads.

Even though the secret sign couldn’t be spotted by the naked eye, it could clearly be seen when illuminated under a UV light.

After staying overnight at the Marriott and using the beds, the reporters left the hotel.

Checking in the next day, the production team took a look at the sheets.

Although it looked like the bed had been properly made up, inspection under some UV lights revealed the unhygienic truth.

On the bottom sheet, the message “I slept here” could unmistakably be seen.

The manager of the Marriott was invited in for an explanation and she insisted that it was policy for the sheets to always be changed between guests.

She apologised: “We make it a custom to change every check-out room sheet.

“However, I do not know what happened in this situation.”

Worryingly, the Marriott wasn’t the only hotel to fail the cleanliness test.

The Candlewood Inn and the La Quinta Inn also didn’t ensure that sheets in the inspected room had been changed.

A spokesperson from The Candlewood Inn told the : “IHG takes great pride in setting stringent quality standards, which we take very seriously.

“Any claim that a hotel is not following the standards falls below our expectations. This incident serves as a reminder to all hotels to enforce this important standard.”

Representatives for La Quinta Inn also gave the statement: “At La Quinta Inns & Suites, we strive to provide a positive, consistent guest experience at all of our branded hotels.

“This includes providing a clean guestroom for every guest.
