- to which they paid the laundry bill).
This kept everyone on their toes and honest. I even introduced a team clean scheme where each spot check was rated, the monthly high scoring teams names put into a draw and the winners provided a prize.
Never had a negative comment from a passenger or points deducted on a HQ audit.
