After DH & I have now talked about this for the 3rd time I'm appealing to you to tell me if IBU or you would find this minging too......

MIL & her sister own a commercial laundry business they launder towels, bedding etc for hotels, b&b's & holiday cottages etc.

I went to the laundry just before Christmas to drop off some cards etc & took 3 yo DD.

I went to the loo & when I came back MIL was pushing DD round in one of the big laundry carts on wheels full of dirty sheets. They were definitely dirty as having helped out in there before I know things only go in that cart before being washed. Next salute she has DD burrowing down in amongst the washing & playing peekaboo.

Don't get me wrong DD was having a blast but I said something along the lines of 'urgh' they'll be all dirty & DH's aunt said 'oh don't be daft all the kids play it' (she has 6 GKids)

DH thinks I'm being precious but the thought of DD wriggling about in come (& other bodily fluid) stained bedsheets makes me shudder.

Is it just me?

Agree with you OP.

There could be any sort of bodily fluid in there.

I'm with you. I've worked as a chambermaid....bleugh. The state some people leave sheets in in hotels is shocking.

That is fucking disgusting. I don't like my kids coming into our bed when the sheets haven't been changed for a few days because of spunk and whatever else may lurk. Strangers bedsheets, wtf!

I am not a clean freak, but I did briefly work in housekeeping while at uni. I would definitely not be doing that!

Ugh no. I'm very laid back about dirt and germs. But other people's bedsheets? No.

Gross, there are things that can be passed on from sheets, public lice, scabies, bed bugs etc. I would always change bedsheets for guests so can't understand why on earth anyone thinks this is ok?

Another non-clean freak here.
But there will be skin flakes, hairs at best.
At worst, threadworm eggs, lice, and body fluids.
Would they do this in a hospital? I think not!

That's beyond disgusting.

I have mega ishoos with cleanliness so this is just hideous IMO.

I would have been furious.
