hotels, sheets

Hotel chains are beginning to act environmentally responsible: They're not changing sheets as often. It's also a good business decision, as their costs fall as a result. But some travelers aren't happy with the trend: They want fresh sheets every night.

A USA Today poll indicated that many hotel chains (14 out of 25 surveyed) don't change the sheets every night, but rather every third night or so for those clients who stay. Of those hotels who don't, though, all said that they would change the sheets if a client requested it.

Hotels argue that changing sheets less often is not only a good business decision, it also makes little to no difference to most of their customers, since they don't change their sheets at home every night, so there's no reason to expect the sheets to be changed every night at a hotel.

Maybe for those customers who want it, hotels can stock up on Febreze.
