I work at a cheaper hotel and I wash multiple comforters and pillows almost every night 🤷🏿‍♀️🤷🏿‍♀️🤷🏿‍♀️ glad to see our hotel has a little higher standards then some in the comments as well as the video

[@elizabethanderson3568]

I totally agree. At the place where I worked, we would always wash the comforters and pillows and if the pillows where very dirty we would throw them away.

[@marcelosHuevos]

i appriciate your hard work

[@daddyosink4413]

Is this a national chain? Is it standard practice across the company? If so..... what does it rhyme with?

[@chaddymcduffey]

No lie. Some hotel chains only give their housekeeping staff 20 minutes to clean a single room...

[@Emster234]

I can attest to that. We are short staffed so we have to clean about 20 rooms a day.

[@austinwilburn1772]

You can wash pillows. Just add one pillow per load of something else. Make sure not to over load it. Send each pillow through multiple drying cycles. That's the real kicker, you need to make sure the core of the pillow gets totally dry so mildew doesn't grow.

[@karafloyd8799]

[@John_McDonnell]

I have four pillows in which I wash and aired weekly and I own a mat instead of a bed because beds are nasty germs and bacteria breeding ground.

I use an old tshirt around pillows at hotels. I don’t want to risk possible bed bugs or something else on my pillow. It’s easier to bag and wash an old tshirt than a whole pillow.

[@Jaqen-HGhar]

@@snickidy6947 no you clearly don't understand what he is saying, at 7:21 Rhett is looking down at the monitor and Link has already finished the drawing. Rhett then looks at the camera and gives his typical exasperated look of, "I'm just gonna ignore what he's doing cause if I acknowledge it it will just bring attention to it." Y'all clearly don't understand that Rhett has a monitor that shows the camera view so he can see what Link is doing and doesn't have to look over at Link which is what Jade was trying to explain to y'all before everyone jumped on him. Maybe he was wrong to be pedantic but it's a lot funnier that Rhett saw the whole drawing than believing he didn't see it.

[@thatwitchychic170]

As a former housekeeper, dirty glasses were NEVER washed in the rooms. They were removed and replaced with new, Cellophane wrapped glasses. The dirty glasses were taken to the hotel's bar/restaurant and washed with all the other dirty dishes. I can't tell you how many freshly-washed glasses I wrapped during my three years in the business. :)

I worked housekeeping for our local resort, woodloch and they were reallllly strict with cleaning, all pillows had 2 pillow protectors and a case and everytime new there were new people we had to change the case n outer protector. Everything had to be spotless toilets polished, showers had to be legit spot free or you had to redo it. And my god the intensity of cleaning the kitchen that was horrific oven, dishes, coffee pots, fridge everything had to be perfect. And we cleaned the places every day to maintain it while people were still there.

[@josieseay3720]

As a former housekeeper, I can confirm that the pillows are rarely ever washed along with the duvet/duvet cover or comforter are rarely ever cleaned. The only time we washed the covers were if there were stains that couldn’t be scrubbed off or hidden by flipping them or if it was a pet room from the last guests. We did make sure that the furniture was relatively clean and always washed the dishes with either dish soap or by taking them to the dish washer.

[@leahbelieva]

As a former housekeeper and a regular guest at many hotels, I firmly believe in housekeepers leaving clean folded linens in the room for the guests to put on the beds themselves. It saves keepers the “trouble” of changing bedding and the guests the fret of not knowing whether or not their sheets are clean. I double checked way too many rooms and found they didn’t change all the pillow cases/sheets/etc. not always, but once is too many🙅🏻‍♀️ most housekeepers are clean and want to leave a clean room though, so tip your housekeepers. It’s a shit job.

[@omnium_gatherum]

But what if you had the housekeeper who peed in your glasses and you ended up leaving him a tip? 😬

I usually stay in hostels and they always just leave clean pressed sheets for you to put on yourself and honestly it gives me more peace of mind than hotels.

I also bring my own pillow, if I don't I wake up with a stiff neck! Also, to the comment above me: I find that washing down pillows works out better than trying to wash cotton ones. The cotton ones get lumpy, so all of mine are down for easier/better cleaning.
