Three well-known hotels in northeastern China have failed basic hygiene checks after cleaning staff were filmed using the same brush to clean lavatories, wash basins and even crockery, state media has reported.
The municipal watchdog for hygiene, tourism, food and drug safety in Harbin in Heilongjiang province confirmed that investigators had concluded footage released by Pear Video on Tuesday was genuine and the hotels had been warned to ensure it did not happen again.
