Investigation Uncovers Hidden Stains in Hotel Rooms

Hotels are a place to unwind. They're like our home away from home. And whether we go there for romance, relaxation or business, there are certain things we come to expect when we check in and the most important of which is cleanliness.

But with thousands of people having possibly slept in the same bed before you, how do you know what's really under those covers?

In an ABC News Primetime investigation, producers discovered bodily fluid stains in all 20 hotel rooms surveyed, no matter the price. Most of these stains are not visible to the naked eye, but they were found everywhere – on the beds, carpets, walls….

Despite the alarmingly gross results, these stains are completely harmless – no microbes are growing on them because they are dried and sterile. Fortunately, the survey’s results convinced many of the hotel managers to train their cleaning staffs to use black lights.

Check out the full Primetime investigation story.
