Hotels use white sheets and white towels because they can be washed with chlorine bleach which kills germs, bacteria, and molds, and then dried in a high temperature dryer which kills any bedbug that didn't drown.

A few wet wipes in individual foil packets are incredibly handy for washing hands, wiping off sticky stuff, sanitizing whatever you have doubts about. You can wash the hotel glasses in hotel soap or shampoo and hot water. Unless it is a Kuerig, it is a good idea to wash the coffee maker's slide out tray and run a cup of the hottest tap water through the cycle before you make any coffee. Don't put your piece of pizza down on the surfaces, obviously.

Thank goodness so many hotels are using white duvets or white double sheeting instead of those colored patterned spreads that hid stains.
