Hi there, Thank you taking the time to give us your feedback. We are currently waiting for new laundry units to make it through customs in Australia, so our laundry facilities are being looked into. We do have housekeeper that are trained to inspect the beds but I will have a chat with our HK supervisor to make sure these checks are actually being done. Safe Travels!
