Hello everyone 😊
Today, I would love to hear how you handle your bed linens and sheets!
This is an important part of creating a welcoming atmosphere for your guests.
What’s your approach? Do you prefer to handle it yourself, or do you like the convenience of outsourcing laundry? 🧺
I would love to hear why you prefer your chosen approach and look forward to reading about your experiences in the comments!
Warm regards 🌻,

We launder all sheets and pillowcases after every stay. We use a duvet for the outer bedding and wash and change the duvet cover about every 3-4 stays.
we have internal covers on the pillows and launder those about once a month.
Hi @Ann41028 😊,
I am impressed, you have a detailed cleaning routine for your bedding!
How do you determine when it’s time to wash the duvet cover between stays?
Warm regards 🌻,

I hire a cleaning person. I usually work alongside her just to make sure all the little details are covered. As for laundry I usually do it myself, I maintain multiple sets of sheets and towels just to ensure I have enough if there are back-to-back bookings. I have found that your cleaning people focus on cleaning, so it is important that I as the host ensure the small details are covered, things like hand soap is filled, dish detergent is in place, and accessories are placed as I like them. It is important if you have a coffee station that it is adequately stocked.
Hi @Amy2895 😊,
Thank you for sharing your approach here!
I see so much work involved, my compliments! 😍
How many bedrooms do you rent?

I have two bedrooms with the third set up as an office. It has a lounge chair in it that converts to a single bed
I handle the cleaning completely myself. It’s really important to me that the cleaning is of high standards and as I’ve been a cleaner in the past I feel I know my guests won’t complain if I handle it.
I keep 2 sets of everything, everything gets stripped as I walk in the door and washing machine goes on. Second set goes on as first set washing. I have put a washing machine in unit. Hang them on line and worry about them when dry. My guests are then checking in on time and have all 5 star reviews for cleanliness.
Hi
I started out washing and pressing the bed linen myself, but I felt like I was spending my life pressing bed linen so now I've found a local laundry service where I take the bed linen. I am still washing the towels myself. Obviously this involves extra cost, but for me this is worth it and I can offset this cost against tax.
Having high quality linen helps and several guests have commented on the luxurious feel of the linen and the lovely comfortable beds. I have had to build up 4 full sets of linen to cater for multiple changeovers in a week. I started out buying White Company linen but have now switched to "Rise and Fall" which is similar quality but more economical.
Hope this helps.
I managed the laundry, ironing and also staging the bed myself. I like to add some special touches to the bed and rooms depending on the upcoming guests. Most of the guests really appreciate that 🙂
Hi. We have our cleaners wash all of the linens and towels. We usually have three sets of everything. One set on the beds. One set being washed. Last set in the closet or stored in the owner's closet.
I’m a relatively new host, having only had guests for 2.5 months.
Initially I was worried about linen being ironed and back to back bookings, so I engaged a cleaner who supplied linen. It turns out that back to backs are not as often as I expected and the cleaning company wasn’t as flexible as I needed, so out of my 9 stays they have only done 2 change overs.
That meant that all but 2 lots got my unironed sheets and yet I’m still getting 5 stars.
So I’ve decided I will be doing the cleaning and linen for majority of stays with help from a different cleaner when I am working on change over days.
I’m no longer worried about ironing sheets. As our rental is at the back of our home, I use both washing machines and dryers to do the cleaning as quickly as possible and have a check list of things to refill/check along with dusting, vacuuming and mopping.
As much as cleaning is not a task I love, I feel I/we do a more consistent job than engaging outside help.
The cleaners do the laundry, mostly take it home with them and ring them back clean. That way they don't need to wait around or laundry to finish
I do my own laundry because I'm not happy with the local laundry. As we only have one pod, it's easy for me to clean it myself and do the laundry as I need it.
Greetings
Juanita
I wash the sheet myself, while I have someone help with the cleaning
We like to launder the bed linen and towels ourselves. It’s a little easier when you only have one airbnb apartment. At times it can be difficult, but we also set our minimum stay to 2 nights which helps greatly.
