The neatly arranged cushions and colourful throws can make a hotel bed look inviting, but they may not receive the same washing frequency as bedsheets and pillowcases. Since guests often place them on chairs, floors or directly against their faces, they can collect dust, body oils and other dirt. Consider removing decorative cushions and throws before using the bed.

A hotel room may look spotless at first glance, but cleanliness is not always about what you can see. Paying attention to frequently touched surfaces and items that may not be washed after every guest can make your stay a little more comfortable. After all, a clean-looking room and a thoroughly cleaned room are not necessarily the same thing.
