I've been at both ends of this. I was, when younger, a hotel maid. I got paid to clean and by heaven, I cleaned. A very simple idea,"do unto others" About twenty years ago, my husband and I were staying at a very nice, very expensive hotel. I turned down the bed, and was horrified to discover a large "wet" spot in the middle of the bed, and several pubic hairs embedded in the mess!! I nearly fainted (I'm a nurse and don't faint) and my husband went to get the manager and the housekeeping supervisor on duty. Both came to the room, were properly horrified and we were moved to a lovely suite and our vacation stay was entirely complimentary. There are sheets that are sold at luggage stores that are reasonably priced and we now carry them with when traveling. Soap, water, good handwashing go a long way too.
