Travelodge room cleaning.

I finally got proof of something I have long suspected - the cups/mugs in each room are never subjected to a proper wash in a dishwasher.


They are simply rinsed out in the bathroom sink. Even between guests!!


If I knew how to post a photo from Picasa it would show the state of the outside of one of the 4 mugs left in my family room recently - all needed rewashing with a kettle of boiling water and drying on a clean towel.

what is the proof

you could have just asked housekeeping/reception for clean cups, no?

I would not have cleaned them myself I would have brought this to the attention of the management.

Blimey! I will never stay in a travelodge ever again.

Im not in the least bit ocd but when i stay in hotels i tend to wash the cups prior to use, regardless of chain of hotel.

Consider the room you are staying in may have been vacant for a few days and the cups, in theory, would have been washed up when the last occupant left the room. Since then the cups have been gathering dust etc.

It may be worth considering that such statements, based on your "evidence" from one hotel and then relating it to a chain could be deemed as libel

I'd phone the Daily Mail and ask them to hold the front page!

You do know that someone has also slept in the same bed before you.

No matter which hotel it is. If there is a kettle / cups in the room, I always boil kettle and rinse them out before use. Never use the glass in the bathroom either. Always bring a plastic beaker for rinsing teeth.

You seem surprised by this?
