I think it is very unethical for the hotel management to not implement or make sure that cleaning procedures are carried out in an appropriate manner. It not only is dangerous but makes you question the validity of "best quality service" you are paying for.
Not sure if we're better off not knowing...I know it'll make me too careful and paranoid the next time I go into a hotel, or do you think we should just try to believe that, maybe, some hotels are genuinely sincere with their serivice.

It is unethical to fail to ensure proper hygiene techniques are being followed in any service industry.
I don't think this is really an issue. For one thing, there's no counter-point in this video, I'd want to hear from all sides before making any decision - maybe spraying a disinfectant and rinsing well is good enough and quite safe (you're not supposed to drink dishwashing soap either but we use it all the time to clean, yeah?). This was meant to be dramatic, they didn't say how many hotel rooms they had to go through before they found anything incriminating. Hm and I'm wondering how they came up with the idea to check how well hotel glasses were being cleaned, it's not something that one would think would be high on the agenda for a news broadcast. This might have been more effective and something to truly worry about: http://www.guardian.co.uk/travel/2007/mar/25/travelnews.hotels.london
Maybe it's the case that hotels just aren't that clean in general. People still use them and the vast majority aren't harmed.
I read this a while ago, it is something to consider: http://www.nytimes.com/2009/01/27/health/27brod.html?scp=2&sq=too%20clean&st=cse
At any rate, if we worried about all the things we're supposed to we'd be afraid to move. I'm willing to bet that most hotel glasses are cleaned appropriately, or at least well enough. It's worth the risk.
