I used to work for a large hotel chain here in the UK as a chambermaid. There is no way I would ever use any cups in a hotel room!

On my first day I was shown how to clean the rooms.

Upon entry into the room you must take the tea cups and saucers and put them in the bathroom sink and cover them with water.
Then clean the bedroom.
Once you finish the bedroom you go back to the bathroom and get one of the dirty towels from the floor or bath and dry the cups and saucers and replace them on the tray.
Then clean the bath, sink, toilet and floor with the towel used for the cups.

I really wasn''t happy doing this so I bought my own cleaning stuff and did everything as if I was cleaning my own house. It took me longer but I could rest happy in the knowledge that I did a good job!

OMG!!!

This has got to be one of the most disturbing threads I''ve ever read. But I''m glad I did....

Yes I was told to do that. I forgot to say that once a week we had to ''pink powder'' the cups. Not sure what the pink powder was... it came in a sprinkle can.
