PEOPLE are just realising the disgusting reason you should never use a hotel quilt, and it’s left everyone horrified.
A cleaning pro has revealed that while hotel staff wash bedding between every guest visit, the quilt – or comforter, as it’s otherwise known – is left to fester.
The woman, posting under Home Reimagined, captions the short clip: “Did you know that most hotels only clean their duvets and comforters once a year?
“The sheer volume of rooms they manage and the time it takes for duvets to dry make it challenging to have backups readily available.
“That’s why many hotels opt for sheets on top and bottom of the cover, acting as a makeshift ‘duvet’ cover.
“However, to ensure a truly fresh and clean sleep experience, it’s best to say no to the hotel comforter.”
