I ran out of tissues in my hotel room this week and so I requested a box of Kleenex from housekeeping. Admittedly, there was a bit of a language barrier with the person whom I was making the request of. Shortly after making the request, there was a knock at the door and a housekeeper appeared with a good old-fashioned handkerchief. I was at a loss for words (rare moment!)
So I got to thinking…did they just misunderstand my request or is this the newest way in which hotels are going “green”?
In the end, I didn’t use the handkerchief…it just seemed a bit too radical for me. What do you think? Would you use a handkerchief provided by a hotel in lieu of a box of tissues?
Yes, I would.
Definitely not! Have seen too many exposes about cleanliness standards to consider that one.
Some things in shared spaces should be disposable – as environmentally unfriendly as that may be!
