Laundry turnover

[Anthony2515]

Hii, I’ve tried different ways to manage laundry turnovers, but I keep running into one issue. After washing the linens, drying becomes the main bottleneck, especially with quick turnarounds. Do you usually rely on a dryer, or is there another reliable process for handling this?

So for the towels, I've never really had issues with those ones. As we always just spread the washed and dampened ones in the balcony upstairs to the bedrooms before the guest arrival, during quick turnovers. We've got a rack there just for the towels. Then we prepare dry sets on the beds for new guests.

Hi @Anthony2515 👋

The experienced hosts below have shared some of their tips for a swift turnaround. Do you have many bedding sets available?

@Anthony2515 . Re the drying aspect I use good old sunshine and the famous Aussie Hills Hoist. Its amazing how many loads you can get on them at the one time. I check the weather forecast religiously to try and pick the best days for washing to get dry. We have very seasonal demand so high warm weather use coincides with busy turnovers luckily.

Are there any inside areas of your unit that gets full sun so you can utilise a clothes horse or such for the towels. Its not practical for large sheets in cooler weather but can be used for smaller stuff. Even a pull out rack, ceiling or high wall mounted, is helpful.

I do use dryer as a last resort, especially sheets, with wool laundry balls to avoid them clumping into footballs.

Hope this helps 🙂

Thanks a lot for your contribution Mrs. Frances.

I'm infact grateful for behind heard.

And oh yes, we've got the balcony for the towels. Never had stress with that one. 

Just the sheets. But definitely looking towards using a dryer for quick turnovers, as i get those a lot.
