A Tampa Bay, Florida, housekeeper walks into a hotel room after guests check out to clean. However, viewers are shocked and disgusted when she reveals how she saves time turning over beds.
In a video with over 551,000 views, TikToker Queen T (@queenttaylor3) shows the two-bed hotel room. The sheets on one bed are piled haphazardly onto the bed, as if someone slept in it. However, one of the beds looks untouched.
“As a fellow housekeeper, these are the rooms that we love,” she says. “Especially at the end of the day.”
Does the housekeeper clean both beds?
She thanks the guests for “not using both beds.”
“You clearly care. You care about me so much,” she says. “I really appreciate you.” The housekeeper implies that she doesn’t change the linens on the bed that appears unused.
The caption reads, “After making multiple beds; these type of rooms make me happy.”
According to HotelsByDay, it’s customary for hotels to change bed sheets between guests for hygiene and safety purposes—regardless of the state of the beds after the guests leave. Frequently changing sheets may also help mitigate bed bugs, a common pest hotels deal with.
How did viewers react to her shortcut?
In the comments, housekeepers and guests react to her shortcut for cleaning beds. Some housekeepers say that the short turnaround time for rooms makes leaving unused beds as-is a common practice.
“I’ve worked in four hotels. we weren’t required to change the bedding if it wasn’t slept in. dust it off and tighten it up,” one admits.
“Ya’ll getting her in the comments about not changing the sheets have no clue about what it means for a cleaner to have a board of 20-30 rooms on it half or more being check out cleans and most having 2 beds,” another writes.
“Man hotels are not clean regardless. As a person who use to be a housekeeper you lucky she change the other sheets peiple take shorts cuts all day not changing sheets or pillows,” a third says.
Some guests say they are disgusted that she may not have changed the bed.
“This makes me want to never go to a hotel again,” a commenter says.
“Oh this explains why there was blood on my neatly made bed when I first check into a hotel once,” another shares.
However, some suspect that the TikToker is trying to “ragebait” viewers and actually changed the bed.
“I can’t tell if this is Ragebait or not,” a viewer remarks.
“I hope this is rage bait,” a second writes.
