Dirty hotel rooms: Hidden camera shows what really gets cleaned (CBC Marketplace)

[@alsinakiria]

As a housekeeper I always try to keep my rooms clean. The problems often come from management. Getting the rooms done fast is usually far more important than doing it well. I once had to debate with my manager in front of the big boss when he tried to get me fired for taking an extra 5 minutes in each room. I pulled a cloth with black streaks out of my pocket and asked if it was acceptable for me to leave that dirt in the room. He said no so I said "so I guess I better take a few extra minutes and fix it, huh?" He no longer works at our hotel. I still do. My rooms are not perfect, but I do my best.

[@guineverescott9300]

I would virox my child's while room even floor twice a day everything. They never even mopped the floor in our room once the whole time we where there.

I was a housekeeper at a hotel years ago and it is true that you are given 20 rooms in an 8 hr. shift. If you didn’t have your allotted rooms done in your shift the manager or a coworker would have to clean the remainder of rooms. Comforters and blankets are only changed if they looked soiled. My manager and laundry scolded me for changing out the above mentioned items. I quit and started cleaning houses on my own because I refuse to accept filth for myself or anyone who occupies a space I was responsible to clean.

[@kianelliott4874]

Im a housekeeper and if you can’t clean 20 rooms in 8 hours then you need better time management. That’s just under half an hour per room.

[@kellybee1935]

Never said I couldn’t do 20 rooms in an 8 hr shift. Substandard housekeeping is why many establishments do not pass inspections and I want no part of that. I would love to see an inspection report on the 20 rooms that you did in an 8 hr. shift.

Housekeeping is probably the hardest job at a hotel. They are under payed and expected to clean a room in 30 mins or less. I use to work in hospitality for years (doing housekeeping for a few months) and i was destroyed after a shift lol. I can't speak for every housekeeper but I made sure the room was cleaned, primed and polished for every guest. but after a while.... your soul dies a bit. The system is flawed.

[@Butter_bread_]

My sisters a head house keeper and has high expectations. It comes down to management, if they aren't doing their job right then neither will the rest of the staff. Getting sick of the job isn't a good enough excuse when someone could be paying $100+ a night out of their own pocket.

[@Lassieandfriends]

I worked for a "luxury" holiday home company here in Australia for a few years and I can tell you that even when you are paying top dollar for your establishment to be cleaned, there are MANY corners being cut. For example, if the bed sheets and pillow cases didn't "look dirty" we were told to leave them on for the next guests, some of whom were paying tens of thousands of dollars to stay for a night. That's just the tip of the iceberg. A lot of the corner cutting comes down to time. For example, we were given 4 hours total to clean a house with 10 rooms and over 30 beds. If we went over the time, we weren't payed. I now ALWAYS take my own bedding when I stay ANYWHERE away from home and definitely do my own clean with antibacterial wipes when I get there. Cutting corners like some companies do, can make people really sick and in worst cases, cost lives. If you want it done properly, do it yourself. It amazes me that the companies don't make sure things are cleaned properly as it can and has ended up in many lawsuits around the world.

[@b.k.3364]

That's really gross that they don't change the sheets - management should be held personally responsible. Should guests strip the sheets and ask for fresh sheets?

[@lynettep7015]

@@b.k.3364 There’s no way to determine if the establishment will give you ‘fresh’ sheets or not. It’s best to bring your own - take a set of old sheets with you or pick up clearanced king size flat sheets wherever you can find them on sale. Either dispose of them after using or sanitize them when you get home. That way, you’ll know for certain the bed linen is clean.

[@fg9223]

[@aiodensghost8645]

​@fg9223 simple: get better sheets!!

[@ghostcat8519]

If the hotel managers would give the housekeepers more time to clean the rooms, AND hire more housekeepers, then there's a really good chance the rooms would be much cleaner. At the hotel I worked at, the housekeepers were given 20 minutes per room. That's really not enough time to clean a room properly, especially if the guest stays several days.

[@ghostcat8519]

And if they do laundry like I had to do, the sheets really aren't getting that clean. I had to literally pack the washing machine with linen and top comforters from 7-8 rooms into one load. There should be more room for the linens to agitate properly in the water, but I had to pack them so full they would never move. Trust me when I say that hotels need to really step up when it comes to time/money invested in keeping the rooms clean, and stop worrying about penny pinching.

I loved my time as a resort housekeeper- being able to just put my head down and work hard with no distractions. Most housekeepers take huge pride in their work. Everybody makes the odd mistake, usually if you get interrupted, but most of us do a very good job. Training is a factor too, if the girls aren't trained properly they don't know, and you can't force an uninterested person to do a good job.

[@bettynjenga3227]

Absolutely

[@lynettep7015]

True. But disinterested housekeepers shouldn’t be housekeepers.

[@louisbarningham]

A housekeeper can be any gender.. im a guy and a house keeper.. at the motel i work at their are 50/50 amounts of house keepers

[@Blooomix]

Yeah, but look at this from other perspective, who does all that stuff? Not housekeeping obviously. Cleaning is on the one hand - but the guests are those who first should start to learn how to behave in hotels too. The urine stain on the wall? People tend to disrespect things that aren't their property, I worked at housekeeping and most of you would wouldn't believe how dirty some rooms are after certain guests.

[@Hitsuji-senpaiVT]

I agree with you. And hopefully, people who don't will start to learn respect property that isn't theirs. Just because the room doesn't belong to the individual staying there, doesn't mean it's okay to pee on the wall or let their children mark up the walls, chairs, bedding, etc. with the pens provided in the rooms with the "Note to self" pads. That stuff is not easy to clean and none of us want to spend a lot of time trying to clean it up.

[@deltenous6485]

[@chunkchips4554]

Sure theres going to be bad guest but that doesnt excuse the way you or they should be properly cleaned.. especially for $80 plus a night! As an adult It's common sense on how to clean things proper. Take initiative.. if you are being trained wrong say something or do it better than the person who trained you and you'll eventually take that person's job.

I worked at the holiday inn, in Guelph. The filth and contamination was absolutely appalling. For example the bedding was not washed after every use, if the bedding looked clean, they would just reuse it, for as long as possible. I began to take notes about what I saw, and what I though could be improved. I did a test, too. I found a used condom on the ground in the stairwell, under the stairs, and I left it there to see how long it would take for someone to pick it up. Well a month later I made a meeting with the hotel manager, and the head of housekeeping to talk about what I've noticed, and what I thought could be done. Well, they did not appreciate the concerns I raised, and since I wasn't unionized, they fired me on the spot. That was 5 years ago, and I bet that used condom is still lying in that stairwell.

The problem is that this enables management to enforce "productivity" goals. Instead of taking twenty minutes to clean we are forced to average ten minutes per room. You just have to cut corners. When I originally trained thirty years ago we would clean all surfaces of sinks and toilets including the pipe and underside of the sink. Now we are told to only sanitize the "contact" points. The theory is that the germs underneath the sink or on the back side of the toilet aren't going to hurt anybody. Failure to make the quota of rooms will result in disciplinary action leading up to termination of your employment. People are desperate to hold down their jobs and will skip breaks and even work after punching out to catch up. Your hunches are correct.

Hunt Guy I'm more concerned about the way rooms are looked after, than I am about every last germ being dead. As humans, we're covered with germs day in, and day out. I could give a rat's ass about germs, unless shit is all over the walls, I could care less. I stayed in a Holiday Inn one time, and at 3AM, the fire alarm started chirping, I couldn't ignore it. It was all I could do was to keep from smashing that thing to pieces. I couldn't take it, so I called the front desk. It was the manager, and he was so apologetic, that I couldn't be pissed at him. He was more frustrated with Holiday Inn, because he'd been having problems like that off, and on for months. He suggested that they go and replace all the batteries once a year.. good, or bad. After a year, they're done. The idea was shot down of course. The company was concerned about batteries that had a few more months left in 'em, and getting replaced for no reason. He said he gave up the quest, and now he replaces them when they're obviously screwed. Holiday Inn lost at least one customer. They wouldn't even give me a break on the cost of the room. You better believe this guy filled out that questionnaire they leave that goes to corporate. In it, I let them know I wasn't a happy camper, and they'd NEVER see me in there again. And to this day, they've never seen me back again, and I'll never go back in the future.

[@-comment]

The main cause of this problem is the housekeeping job itself. It is incredibly difficult, you only get a small amount of time to clean an entire room, and to pick those small things like the lamp base or a remote? There's no way you are going to be doing that especially with how much time you have and how many rooms you have to clean in a shift. It is a very physically straining job and these hotels try to maximize profits like all businesses. I don't see them doubling the housekeeping staff and increase to attention to detail anytime soon.

The bottom line is money. It means the cleaning staff have a limited time to do a LOT of hard physical work and they are required to do it as quickly as possible, often while getting paid minimum wage. There's not enough time to be thorough in the cleaning, not by a long shot. Standard practice is cleaning up to sixteen rooms in eight hours - 1/2 hour each room.

[@deltenous6485]

I am just going to say 16 rooms in 8 hours sounds like a long time to clean a very small compact room. If these guys on here are actually given this much time and haven't even cleaned it to be very clean I would just be like NOOOPE

As a traveller staying in hotels frequently I have come across these issues. The final straw for me was when I finally got a chance to talk to chamber maids that I knew personally. What they are told to do is horrific. If they don't, they lose their jobs. The mop is to be used on the floors and whatever they can do in the room with it. Then the vanity gets the first clean with this mop, then the toilet and lastly to clean the mop, the shower is cleaned with it and the mop gets rinsed out at the same time. (2 for 1) Here's a fun fact (not really) When the carts are in the hallway and the cleaners are working you'll see the white sheets going into the laundry bags. Have you ever seen the duvet? I will never stay at a hotel again.

[@Hitsuji-senpaiVT]

Thank you for saying that, Cans. As a former housekeeper, time has been (and still is) a struggle for me when it comes to cleaning many rooms, especially at hotels that give their housekeeping staff 20+ rooms to do and 30 mins or less per room. I've been reassured by many that you get better over time once you get into the rhythm of work (which is true), but working quickly heightens stress and takes away from performance. I've heard of some housekeeping staff cutting corners to get done quicker and of course, someone is going to notice. I believe in getting the job done right and in a timely manner, but I'm sure housekeepers (myself included) feel pressured to work faster and faster past their limit.

[@lillywhite7443]

I worked for the Holiday Inn located in Kitchener, ON and they overworked housekeeping staff. We would be assigned 16 rooms a day and expected to get everything done in each room within the 8 hour shift. Needless to say, too many rooms and not enough time, led to a lot of shortcuts made so they'd get done in time. It's impossible to get the rooms really clean if you're only given 15-20 minutes to get each room done. It's long enough to get the beds changed, bathroom wiped down and the carpets vacuumed and then it's on to the next one.

[@NinaRibenaMixedMedia]

An 8 hour shift gives you half an hour per room, not the 15-20 minutes you stated?

[@tessokoye6947]

I used to be a housekeeper at a hotel. It was a fairly large privately owned pretty fancy hotel. All they had us do is spray the sink and tub area down with some spray and wipe it down, wipe the outside of the toilet down, vacuum and change only the sheets and pillowcases on the beds. We were instructed to put the same bedspread back on the bed. When I stay at a motel or hotel now, the first thing I do is take the bed spreads off and throw them in the corner then call room service and ask for more sheets. I always bring a can of Lysol with and spray the hell out of the place then leave for a while so it can air out. I spray EVERYTHING, door knobs, the remote control, the knobs on the lamps, the the headboards on the bed, the walls, the floors, the desks, chairs, EVERYTHING! ! Then I go around and wipe everything off again with disinfectant wipes including paper stuff like the phone book! I am a complete germaphobe!

people may think I'm crazy, but this is why I bring my own cleaning products and sheets to hotel/motel rooms.

That's gross. If I'm going to be paying $400 a night for a room, at least the damn bed should be clean.

[@jeremiahanthony5521]

Sometimes it comes from dirty people staying in the rooms . Nasty people come and go

[@jeremiahanthony5521]

I know and you're right . It's just hard for hotel owners and cleaners to keep up but at the same time clean the damn room

[@Pikacute]

lol guys nice hotels in nice places aren't cheap 🙄

[@midnightportal3952]

+Pikacute right ! lol

[@Kayyvr]

One thing I don't understand is that you can't really expect a maid to go around washing the walls do you? It's not like they carry around a black light to pick up stains. In normal lighting I assume you wouldn't see anything there.

[@rileypeverall6237]

Well they really should Cary around a black light because there could be a really disgusting thing like what they showed is at the best western

[@rileypeverall6237]

+Riley Peverall sorry typo I ment carry round a black light

[@SeaMermaid24]

+Kayyvr I was thinking the same thing. It's not crazy that it was overlooked. What was scary is the dirty sheets. It almost looks like they don't even wash those between guests.

[@paolacastillo2522]

coming from a housekeeper ...this is gross but idk... its sometimes hard to get every single little thing when most of the time we get 25 rooms a day and only a curtain amount of time to get them done. maybe giving us more time? less rooms?....

[@123rudyboo]

Excactly boo...

[@Futurefigther]

Management know all about of this but they dont care as long they still can run the business . Keep pushing and give preasure to housekeeping. Guest never know about housekeeping need to clean more then 20 rooms per day sometime housekeeping department not enough man power then per person housekeeping need do more more more room . PLUS WHEN THE HOUSEKEEPING VERY SLOW DOING THEY JOB , THE BLOODY MANAGMENT WILL KEEP YELLING NEED THE ROOM IMMENDENTLY . Plese give housekeeping less room , 10 room perday . So we can spend 1hours per room . Cleanlines will be tip top siak! We can help decor the room also . Hahaha . 20plus rooms per day you expect the room is clean ? zZzZzz

[@kathycharles741]

When I was a House Keeper at a fancy Motel all those years ago in Montana we got 15 to 20 minutes, and Management would still complain we weren't working fast enough!!! And those rooms were immaculate and were all inspected before any of us were aloud to go home for the day and if we even missed a hair or anything we had to clean it and have inspected again before leaving for the day...... so even though there is a lot of pressure on these house keepers to get it done fast!!! They got it lucky compared to some of us!!! Lol

[@davidhenningson4782]

@@kathycharles741 alot of managers haven't done the work of their subordinates... and thus lack 'context' regarding your work (true in alot of industries. ) Many managers excel at 'yelling' and intimidating staff... and think that's an effective way to 'run things.' Problem solving... is a foreign concept for many aspiring managers... who often get their start in bookkeeping and other administrative roles. If they went to school... they (some of them but certainly not all) look down at their staff as too lazy or underprivileged to have 'put the effort in at school'... when it mattered... and are now suffering accordingly. They don't worry about 'their failings' as managers... prefering to assign the blame on their subordinates... deciding in their aloof minds... that any and all issues are the problem of and responsibility of the under trained, poorly paid/equipped and motivated people working supporting roles... beneath them. Managers... especially bad ones... are the primary reason I prefer to play the markets for my living... where I answer to 'no one.' I also 'own' any success or failure I make... poor due diligence =lost opportunity... have only myself to blame if things don't work out, wouldn't have it any other way.

[@healingandgrowth-infp4677]

Should be done by professional cleaners then not youths off the streets

[@heatherbop2946]

Im sure when these hotels agreed to do the ranking and have their names documented in a video they werent expecting her to bring a whole biologist. 🤣🤣

[@RustyJoe723]

Cuz every hotel totally has a black light that they give every housekeeper so they can check the whole room. Like really??? Welcome to the real world.

[@RustyJoe723]

You're house is probally dirtier than that, WHAT THE...

[@sadie4889]

I think that's one of the points, that the hotels need to equip the housekeepers with tools they need

[@mark101588]

+roricthelame black lights are not that expensive at all.. They are like $8 and that's about the same for any cleaning spray they are provided??

[@tobbenjees941]

SimplyCrazy your*

[@CyberMachine]

Some hotels do supply their maids with blacklights and no the price doesn't go up. Why shouldn't you want a clean room for $200 a night?!

[@Tam55511]

WTF at 12:07 that guy used his gloves to scratch his nose after checking the toilet. Very hypocritical.

Considering the swap was touching the objects, not his Antimicrobial gloves. I don't see your point. I don't think you even know what you're talking about.

[@mipilot30]

Obviously, The problem would be contamination before he tests a surface and he used swabs. He hands didn't come in contact with the sample.

[@christinephillips8018]

You pay to stay in a clean environment. Also, those companies are getting PAID to keep it clean.. These hotel rooms are exposed to thousands of people a year. Usually your house is just you and family friends..
