This cleanliness thing is interesting to me.
First of all, I can't tolerate the scratchy bedspreads in hotel rooms, so I always turn them back. I moved onto comforters long ago in my own house, and those polyester spreads (and I was just at the Boardwalk last week, so I know they are still using them) are like sandpaper to me.
Second, I'm more worried about people propping their bare, sweaty feet (with a good dose of toe jam) on the bedspread - I'm talking about feet that have been trooping through the park all day in thick socks and shoes. I'm more concerned with that than I am other bodily fluids-maybe I'm weird, but I think that's a pretty common scenario-I see hubby doing this every evening!
I know they can't possibly change the bedspread very often. It's too expensive to be washing them all the time! Same thing with the blankets.
I agree that the tv remote and the phone and the clock radio are probably a bigger "threat" when you are in the room, but think of all the rides you get on and all the "touching" when you hang onto grab bars, going through the turnstiles, resting your hand/arm on the back of the ride - you'd drive yourself nuts thinking about all of this. I'm more worried about people coughing and sneezing on the me than I am bedspreads.
As for the pillows, I'm so tired after a non stop day at the parks that a dirty pillow is the last thing I think about-I'm just glad that pillow is there!!
So, take your vitamins, bring some extra vitamin C, wash your hands, and have a great time. How much time do you spend in your room anyway?
