You may well have noticed on your own travels that the vast majority of hotels and other establishments in the hospitality industry make use of whiter than white hotel sheets and duvets in their rooms.
And while it might seem a little bit strange that this is the case, because stains will show up a lot easier on white bed sheets than perhaps they would on other colours, the reason that so many hoteliers opt for this colour for linen is because it gives the immediate impression of cleanliness and hygiene.
They also help to make rooms feel more luxurious, even if the actual hotel itself isn’t perhaps the most upmarket of places – so if you do run a budget hotel, you can instantly give it an upgrade by investing in white bed linen, towels and so on.
It’s also worth thinking about it from a purely practical point of view, as well. If you have different rooms with lots of different colours for bed sheets and linen, cleaning them can become something of a serious chore.
But if everything is white, all laundry can be washed together at a high temperature without the worry of colours bleeding into each other… which can prove quite expensive, since items will need to be replaced in this instance.
And if you do find that your sheets are left stained by guests in some way, you can easily bleach white laundry without having to worry about causing even more damage to your linen.
