I’m like Sarah and I change linens over, after I scrutinise them after washing. Makeup, greasy, sweaty body oils and artificial tanning products kill off my sheets.
Makeup is the main culprit of towels, but I’ve also had home hair colours or peroxide wreck them! Yep, they didn’t have time to do the hair before the holiday, so lightened their blonde hair regrowth on my towels.... ( GRRRR)
I provide per per adult:
- a white Queen towel minimum 500-600 gsm
- a thinner dark bath towel
- matching dark hand towel
-thicker white face cloth
- matching dark face cloth
Kids towels age appropriate and coloured bath towel sets.
- Then there’s the spare bath mats, hand towels and a pool bath sheet each for adults. Kids get design/size appropriate towels.
* I also provide makeup and general wipes in the bath cabinet, front and centre.
* If females are in the booking, I ensure I have at least two sanitary pads (thin profile, but self adhesive “super”: not regular). Maybe four if of the same family household (due to “cycling” in unison does happen.) That way, it will cover emergencies for late nights or mornings, before they can reach a supermarket or chemist. Not my concern if they prefer tampons....... my priority is to provide a base supply suitable to ANY age in an emergency, plus protect my bedding.
But I literally just try to think as a guest.
If I think I would not be happy with a colour of a sheet or a stain, it becomes dog bedding or rags. Many a white towel has gone to family for pets etc. for those yellow stains are just yuk, and NO-ONE wants to dry themselves with it, no matter how clean it is....... Eww..... ( yes, the psychological game is afoot.
[I also provide some old thin towels in a separate cupboard for use by guests, if they get caught out sightseeing in monsoonal rains. ( 1 each)
I always keep some spare glasses and crockery etc, away from the space that make replacements easy. I have spare cushion covers for changing around and same for outdoor pool entertaining etc. Many of my sleeping pillows are date stamped, so those get replaced as the date is reached.
I’ve changed up art work and plants vases etc as needed, or I’m bored with the look! Lol
So my purchasing of linen and other items is always on the go, but only when on special. So I buy before I need that next sheet set etc.
