I remember chortling at a remark in an old MAD magazine about hotels about the “sanitized for your protection” sash that they used to place across the toilet seat and the “sanitized for your protection” paper in which they wrapped the glasses. The article said that they were probably cleaned with the same cloth.
As the video below shows, that may not be far from the truth:

heh "fired for unrelated reasons"... can you say bitter ex-employee?
suggested post title: "Two Girls, One Cup: Hotel Glasses Not as Clean as You Might Think" ;)
I traveled a lot last year... excuse me, I need to drink some bleach now.
There was a piece in WorldChanging the other day about the conditions in which hotel workers work...I suspect the quality of the cleaning may have something to do with this.
From that piece:
"In a typical hotel, according to Hotel Workers Rising, housekeepers must clean at least 15 rooms per day. And although the amount of time it takes to clean each room has increased as hotels have introduced new room amenities—such as heavier luxury mattresses, triple-sheeted linens, large, harder-to-clean mirrors, and exercise equipment--the number of rooms each worker is expected to clean has remained the same."
Running dishes to the dishwasher may have become an outmoded practice as a result of this. My question, thus, is whether unionized hotels have similar problems with "fake" sanitizing.
I will be checking the housekeepers cart my next stay and asking at the check in desk.
