Here we find hotel staff washing the linens for the facility. Sheets and towels are laundered by hand with simple soap and non-potable water. They are then left to air-dry.
Back home we use more specific detergents and hot air dryers for a reason. The removal of soil and the hot air serve to "sanitize" the linens. However, since that isn't an option here, the EHOs have a simple solution...white linens.
The EHO I was with asked that this hotel change all of their linens to white within one week. This way, it is possible for the inspector to be left with some kind of confidence that the sheets are being cleaned appropriately, Whereas a blue sheet may hide stains, white cannot.
