A cleaner has been snapped using a slept-in bed sheet to clean windows at a lakefront motel.

The woman saw the cleaner in the window of the room she had just checked out of wiping down the windows with the bed sheets.

‘We had just checked out at 9.30am and hopped in our car, looked up to the room we had been staying in and saw the cleaner ‘cleaning’,’ she said.
A motel spokeswoman said using sheets was ‘definitely not’ standard practice to wipe down condensation on windows.
‘We use old rags from old towels that have been cut up,’ she said.
The motel had looked into the incident and found using the bed sheet to clean the window was a ‘one-off’.

The sheet was sent to a commercial cleaners after it was used to wipe the windows.
Hospitality New Zealand spokeswoman Rachael Shadbolt said using a sheet to clean windows in a motel was ‘very unusual’.
‘If staff are doing something that they’re not meant to be then it gives them the opportunity to look into it,’ she said.
