Why hotels use white bed sheets?

21/11/2018

One may wonder why hotels use white bed sheets as white color is the easiest to stain. But therein lays the genius of bright white bedding.

Guests wouldn’t really want bed linens that hide stains. After all, how would you know for sure that the sheets were clean if stains could be easily camouflaged?

White sheets are one effective way for hotels to prove their standards of cleanliness. Much like how the wealthy used to wear all white to show that they could afford to keep it clean, hotels use all white linens to show luxury.

It makes the room feel new and clean thereby giving an enhanced experience to the customers.

There’s also one very practical aspect to white beds. The all-white color theme tends to carry over into the bathroom (for towels and bathrobes). When hotel staff do the washing, they can throw bed linens, towels and any other dirty fabrics into the same washing machine without worrying about any colors running.

And, when worst comes to worst and the bed is stained beyond recognition, white sheets are fairly easy to bleach away.
