some of the chains wash the bedclothes in lye soap. others use something strong.
i carry my own pillowcase, full cover night clothes and socks. i am not a neatnesss freak or a cleanlyness freek, but a rasher. those high energy detergents cause bad rashes on my bod. i can handle germs, but not the modern miricals of proctor and gamble.

Cleaning products also bother me - more than the 'dirt'. Several years back I woke up flaming red from head to toe and itching and burning so bad I wanted to rip my skin off. And this was at HOME! I had developed a reaction to Bounce dryer sheets after years of using them. Haven't used one since of course (and now use as "pure" a detergent as I can find, too) but I do have a fear that the hotel linens could prompt the same reaction someday. For someone who always sleeps sans clothing, it can be a bit daunting.

There's another thread about the gross germs to be found in hotel rooms. Many people bring sanitary wipes to treat critical surfaces, like the remote control. And NEVER use the coffee maker or drinking glasses.

Cleaning product formulas can get changed -- that's possibly what happened to you. I'm certainly a creature of habit, uninterested in keeping up with the latest cleaning products (I do have a life), but I've had to change laundry detergents several times over the years for just that reason. Developing a sensitivity is equally possible.

I've been doing just fine with hotel rooms, but now that I know that people are deliberately rubbing their armpits on the comforters ...

I know for a fact that all Hampton Inns wash all the bedding, including the comforter
I'm just curious which hotel chains offer "everything washed" bed linens in every property. My wife and I love Hilton properties because we know we will never have to sleep under a nasty unwashed bedspread.
Sometimes I will decide to stay in some cut-rate place and end up having trouble sleeping just because I can't stand for the unwashed bed linens to touch me. (When traveling by car, I sometimes take my own duvet so that I can strip the bed to the sheets at a cheaper hotel and just use the duvet).
So which hotels offer their customers clean beds with NO unwashed bedspreads.

Bumping a 10 year old thread is considered very poor form.
