Wary guests go to extremes to ensure hygiene of hotel bedding in their room

A stay in a hotel room is often something to look forward to.

Your bed gets made every day, the room gets cleaned and tidied and there are miniature toiletries and dinky shower caps to be enjoyed.

But not everyone relishes the idea of a night or two in a hotel.

In fact, some people view hotel beds with fear and suspicion with one in 10 taking their own bedding on holiday with them.

One in ten, out of a survey of 1008 people from  QS Supplies , is actually quite a few people.

Their reason being they wish to avoid catching germs, but packing bedding and lugging that about (then having to remember to take it back home with you) seems the opposite of relaxing.

Also, as we said, the bed is often the best bit!

The survey also found that 5.9 per ceny of respondents admitted to taking personal cutlery to a restaurant - that amounts to one in every 16 diners in the next restaurant you go to have brought their own knife and fork along at some point.

That said, a woman recently and proudly announced that she used a hotel kettle to clean her knickers , so maybe it's best to err on the side of caution.
