Re: innkeeping: Wholesale linens

Hi,
I agree with you on the towels. I have stayed at places where they only 
use
colors and I know that they have not seen bleach or any kind of hot water
or germ killing treatment. I started off by using all colors and have
switched to white because I can bleach. I am becoming more and more germ
conscious with age I think. One never knows where those face cloths go!
Cheers!
