    Detectives in Des Moines, Iowa, caught a break investigating a murder case that went to trial in May: A local Holiday Inn had not yet washed a bedspread from a crime scene in one of its rooms, thus yielding important stain evidence. Iowa law requires only that sheets and towels be cleaned after each guest; soiled bedspreads are judged subjectively, and the one in this case was found to contain (in addition to the stains sought) 106 others, including 38 semen stains.

    I am sure it's like this at most hotels. I travel fairly frequently, and I choose not to even think about it. I'd have to sleep in rental cars if I did, and that's a whole new myriad of problems.

    UGH. Ignorance is bliss......usually.

    How often do you see Fresh (cleaned) bedspreads on the staff's make ready cart for any place of lodging?

    Be that as it may, Holiday Inn, along with all the other Hotels should have an Ordinance stating that bedspreads be cleaned AT LEAST once a month.

    Truly disgusting. Hopefully this will raise the right eyebrows.
