Country's first 'robot sex brothel' set to open in Texas prompts backlash: report
The first so-called 'robot sex brothel' in the U.S. slated to open in the Houston area this month has prompted a massive backlash from residents and activists who say it will ruin the neighborhood. The company opened its first location last year near Toronto, where $60 buys a half-hour alone with a robot sex doll, according to the Washington Examiner. The dolls start at $2,500 to buy.
Update: Houston officials halt plans to open first US 'robot brothel'
Houston city officials have ordered at least a temporary halt to a Canadian company's plan to open a so-called "robot brothel" in the city. The Houston Chronicle reported that building inspectors ordered the halt after determining that the company, Kinky S Dolls, lacked the permits required for demolition and construction at a former 2,500 sq ft hair salon in the Galleria area of the city.

Even personal-use-only sex toys are supposed to be cleaned after use [gizmodo.com]. So there's no question that the brothel would *attempt* to clean their dolls. But maybe you are right about lazy janitors.
Here's what the website for the existing brothel in Toronto has to say [auradolls.com]:
I'm sure a video showing the whole "routine" from finish to start to finish would be appreciated.

I believe that with some dolls the vaginas are removable for cleaning. It would therefore be possible to bring your own to the session, and take it back home afterwards to wash ready for next time.
At $60 per half hour, is this much cheaper than the real thing?

$120/hr is way less than defense attorneys charge, so there's that.
