CSI Technology = Cleaner Hotel Rooms?

In response to what it says is travelers' insistence on cleanliness, Best Western recently announced a new housekeeping initiative, which incorporates ultraviolet lights to detect biological matter otherwise unseen by the human eye, and ultraviolet light wands to sanitize unclean items.  Pillows and blankets will be wrapped in single-use covers and possibly the dirtiest object in your room — the TV remote control — designed specifically to allow for disinfection. They have invested anywhere from $500,000 to $1 million in the new program to roll it out in 700 Best Western properties. All North American Best Western hotels are expected to be compliant by year end.
