Next time you fly to China, think twice about using the airline blanket.

An investigation of Chinese airlines discovered that 80% of their non-disposable blankets are not washed.  But don’t blame the airlines, blame the contractor who didn’t clean them, even though they were paid to.

Yingtailong Airline Commodity has contracts to clean blankets from airline companies.  The problem, they finally admit, is that they do not have the facilities to wash the 3,000 blankets they get on a daily bases.

The company has 30 employees, but only three washing machines.  Company officials told employees to wash only those blankets that were noticeably dirty.  As a result about 600 of the 3,000 blankets get washed every day.
