Man exposes how clean his Travelodge hotel sheets really are using UV light

Your might not want to know what state your hotel bed is really in

A man has quite literally shed some light on the disgusting state of a Travelodge hotel room he stayed in as he discovered all sorts of suspicious stains.

When you stay in a hotel it would be unreasonable to expect the place to be entirely spick 'n span as though nobody had ever stayed there before.

Unless you're the first ever guest in a hotel room then there are going to be traces of previous visitors left around the place that even the most diligent and determined cleaner wouldn't be able to fully scour away.

However, some hotel rooms appear to be cleaner than others, and one man discovered just how much of a mess a seemingly clean room could contain if only you knew where to look.

TikToker Rob Adcock (@robdidatiktok) decided to start a series rating the cleanliness of the hotel rooms he was staying in after getting scabies from one particular establishment.

This was one of several stains on the bed's headboard, try not to think about how it got there.

He then bought a UV light off the internet and decided that for every hotel he stayed in, he'd break out his new gadget and see what sort of dirty secrets an apparently clean and pristine room had to hide.

While his first go with the UV light at a hotel room in Malta went pretty well and ended with him awarding the place almost top marks for cleanliness, it was a very different story the second time around.

Staying at Travelodge's Glasgow Central hotel he described the room he was staying in as 'a thing of disgusting beauty'.

First off he discovered plenty of stains on the bed's headboard and we'll probably move on instead of speculating as to what those might have been.

While those stains, visible only by UV light, might have been located perilously close to the head of anyone sleeping in the room, they'd have been even closer to more stains the TikToker discovered.

The bed's mattress was even worse, with the TikToker claiming the stains were 'blood'.

The bedsheet seemed to pass the UV light's inspection but when Rob stripped it down to the mattress he found a plethora of stains, which he guessed were 'actual blood'.

While there were two beds in the room he decided not to shine a light on the one he'd be sleeping on, perhaps deciding that it was better not to know.

A Travelodge spokesperson told LADbible: "We are sincerely sorry that we did not deliver our normal high standard of service to Mr Adcock during his recent stay with us.

"We have started a formal investigation at the hotel and we are also retraining the team to ensure the correct cleaning procedures are followed at all times.

"In addition we have taken this room offline to be deep cleaned, painted and we are also replacing the mattress. We are currently in the process of trying to contact Mr Adcock to personally apologise and to refund his booking."

On the bright side it's not the worst condition a hotel room has ever been left in
