The first thing that soothes the eye as soon as you enter the hotel room is the clean and bright white bed sheet. In almost every small and large hotel, you will only see white sheets on the bed.

This question often comes to people’s minds why hoteliers only spread white sheets instead of colorful or designer bedsheets. There are many important reasons behind this, not just fashion, but related to hygiene, confidence and psychology.

The biggest reason is to ensure cleanliness. If there is even the slightest stain, hair or dirt on the white bed sheet, it can be seen immediately. This makes it easier for hotel staff to understand whether the bed sheet is completely clean or not.

Often stains can be hidden on a colored bed sheet, but nothing can be hidden on a white bed sheet. This is why hotels use white bed sheets to reassure guests that their cleanliness has not been compromised.

Another important reason is the ease of washing and maintenance. White sheets can be easily washed using strong detergent, hot water and bleach. This completely removes bacteria, germs and odor. Bleach cannot be used on colored bed sheets, due to fear of fading. Hundreds of sheets are washed daily in the hotel industry, so white sheets have proven to be more durable and economical.

Another advantage of white is its mental effect. White color is considered a symbol of peace, tranquility and freshness. The guest staying in a hotel wants to rest after being tired, and the white bed sheet makes him feel psychologically relaxed.

This color also makes the room appear larger, more open and more light, creating a positive atmosphere in the room. Apart from this, white bed sheets have also become the standard identity of the hotel. In luxury and five-star hotels around the world, white sheets are a sign of sophistication and premium quality.

When guests see white bed sheets, they subconsciously feel the quality and professionalism of the hotel. In a way, this enhances the brand image of the hotel.
