GEORGIA: Secret camera investigation: every single hotel failed to wash your cups and glasses - (Consumerist)
November 8, 2007 – 7:21 pmFox Atlanta set up secret cameras inside 5 different hotel chains from the Holiday Inn to the Ritz Carlton and caught every single one of them failing to properly wash the room’s glasses.
At every single hotel, regardless of price, the glasses were simply rinsed out and left for the next guest. Some hotels used dirty bath towels to wipe the glasses. One hotel employee rinsed the glasses after cleaning the toiletusing the same gloves. Another one sprayed the glasses with blue cleaning fluid that was marked “Do not drink.”
Fox Atlanta has turned the results of the investigation over to the local health department. Experts interviewed in the video maintain that this isn’t just a case of “ew, gross” but a very serious health code violation. Dirty glasses spread disease.
