Many people are reluctant to use hotel towels for several reasons. Some of them are:
Cleanliness and Hygiene – Although hotels wash their towels regularly, there is a concern that not all hotels implement high standards of cleanliness. Some guests worry that the towels are not really clean or still contain detergent and bacteria residue.
Repeated Use by Many People – Hotel towels have been used by many previous guests, so there is a feeling of discomfort or disgust even after being washed.
Allergies or Skin Sensitivities – Some people have sensitive skin that can react to the detergents or fragrances used by hotels when washing towels.
Personal Habits – Some people feel more comfortable bringing their own towels from home because they are used to the texture and cleanliness.
Security and Fraud Issues – Sometimes there are cases where hotels charge extra if guests are deemed to have soiled or damaged towels, so people prefer not to use them.
Perhaps, hotel towels are suitable as doormats in the room.
