That is an interesting scenario - but I can see it being very problematic from a guest relations standpoint. Are people going to be willing to give up their specifically requested (sometimes down to the room number) rooms in order to skip housekeeping? Or are they going to be raising a ruckus because only people willing to pay for housekeeping get to be in certain areas of the resort? Or will it be a separate booking category - room with housekeeping and room without, letting you know in advance whether it's in a preferred area or not? Interesting to say the least . . .
I use the soap dispenser in the rest room since it's hands only, but that's followed up by a Wet One before eating or drinking anything. I wouldn't consider my hands clean enough to eat with after washing in a public restroom (whether it involved opening doors to exit or not).
The way I see it, I expect a checkbox in the pre check-in form: “Would you accept skipping Housekeeping, in exchange for a gift card of $15 per night?” with a footnote stating “subject to availability”.
This would be very flexible for them, as nothing would prevent them to assign guest that DO want housekeeping in building 14 (housekeeping would only do check-out + guests that wants housekeeping in that building). In addition, they could also assign guests that want to skip housekeeping in other buildings.
In addition, building 14 is one of the building closest the the lounge. This would be an incentive for eligible guests, especially those with King Bed reservations, to want to skip housekeeping, if the word spreads that it would pretty much guarantee staying in that building.
