Not all whites linens are good!

[Danielle1765]

When we started, we went for whites... White bedding sheets, white towels, face clothes & on & on just like you find in hotels.

After my first turn over; I had to discard 3 face clothes, 1 bath towel, 1 hand towel & 1 pillow case due to various stains...

We have since introduced grey face clothes, beige bath towels in tbe bathroom & hand towels & blue bath towels for the hot tub. Sheets are still white though.

Hindsight 20-20... You can't manage every little "what if" but you can mitigate most!

So far, my guests have been very good. No damage to the premises & excellent reviews from them so a few towels put aside is not that big a deal.

Cheers from Nova Scotia

Hi @Danielle1765 😊,

Thank you so much for sharing this here, it's really interesting!

When did you start hosting?

Are you doing the cleaning yourself?

Warm regards 🌻,

Hello @Elisa , 

We started Airbnb last June. We got lucky with our first guests, they were workers from Newfoundland and stayed for 25 nights.... 

Yes, I do the turn over myself. It is a chore for sure, specially when you have guests lingering at & past checkout time (11am) & new guests due in at 3pm but so far I've been able to handle it.

Cheers - D

Hi @Danielle1765 😊, 

thank you for letting me know!

First guest for 25 dyas, this is an amazing start. Congrats! 😍

How many times did you change the towels and bed sheets?

@Elisa   Could you add the word linens to the title of this post?  The current title appears to be racist.

Wishing you a great start to the week.
