re: 5 things you should avoid using (or clean yourself) in a hotel room

Blankets and duvets This may be hard to avoid, especially during a cold season, but Richardson warns in most hotels, blankets, and duvets are very rarely cleaned and changed out. “Where I worked, unless there was a visible stain, blankets, duvets, and bedspreads were only taken down to laundry once a year.”

I’m not sure what type of hotels these apply to but everyone I stay in removes the duvet and replaces them with a new one after each check out. Most higher end hotels have gone to the all white duvet to make cleaning easier. All white duvets show everything so they have to be cleaned regularly.
