Answer 1

A lot of hotels, like the one i work at, outsource their laundry to another company.

Housekeeping stuff dirty sheets and towels into big laundry bags, which are collected daily by a big truck that leaves bags of fresh laundry for the day.

It’s much easier if all the hotels have the same colour sheets, and white matches everything.
