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 🌻,

Thanks Elisa. Small touches. Like for female guests I try to add some throw blankets and accent pillows in feminine tones, for males some masculine tones and for couples I try very neutral colours in throw and accent pillows beside rolling towels with some greenery 🙂
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.
Hi @Alberto-And-Julia0 😊,
Thank you for sharing your approach here!
How did you find the cleaners? I know it’s not easy to find good people who can help.
Warm regards, 🌻

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.
Hi @Joy1717 😊,
I am impressed about the system you’ve found, especially with using both washing machines and dryers. 😍
What tips have you found most helpful for managing your cleaning checklist?
Warm regards, 🌻

Thanks Elisa
I have a mini whiteboard that I have written the tasks to be done in permanent ink, as I do them I tick next to the item with a washable pen.
I keep that in our laundry which is the closest exit to the BnB house, it helps keep me on track.
Once all are done, and our new guests are in, I wipe it clean for the next time.
it feels good to check things off the list, so it’s nice reinforcement for the hard work. 😜
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
Hi @Anne8442 😊,
thank you for sharing this here!
Are you satisfied with this procedure? How long have you been doing it this way?
Warm regards, 🌻

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.

Hi @Andreas1194 😊,
Thank you for participating in this discussion here!
I am curious, why are you not satisfied with the laundry? I know it can take a while to find a good one. Have you tried different ones?
Warm regards, 🌻

I wash the sheet myself, while I have someone help with the cleaning
Hi @Antonella952 😊,
Thank you for sharing your approach here!
That's great that someone can help you. How many bedrooms do you have?
Warm regards, 🌻

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.
Hi @Al283 😊,
Thank you for participating here!
Setting a minimum stay of two nights is a smart strategy. 😍
Have you found that this approach improves your guests’ experience?
Warm regards, 🌻
