Bathroom rugs

[Kim2516]

Hello I am you to being an Airbnb host and I was wondering if we are supposed to wash the bathroom rugs after each guest

[Helen3]

I do. 

[Lisa723]

@Kim2516 yes, you wouldn't allow towels to be reused would you? Isn't it the same?

[Mike-And-Jane0]

@Kim2516 We wash them between guests. We have some very good ones from Ikea that take minutes to dry.

[Huma0]

Yes, I always have two for each bathroom so that I can put in a clean one while washing the other.

@Kim2516  Yes. A bath rug is basically a petri dish for bacteria and mold, and can easily spread foot fungus from one guest to the next, so washing is essential.

You have some nice looking textiles in your home and a distinct aesthetic taste. One thing you might find while hosting is that you gravitate more toward fabrics that remain durable over many heavy washings and resist stains. When choosing bath mats and linens and anything that touches a guest's bare skin, be sure they can hold up to a sanitizing wash cycle, and have spare sets on hand.

@Kim2516 I see you are one of the many hosts who have signed up to the enhanced cleaning protocol.

My question you is have you actually read what this entails?????

If you were unsure about washing the bath mats I fear you do not understand what you have signed up to.

A couple of questions - Do you wash the drapes between each guest? Do you wash ALL the crockery and kitchen utensils between guests?

My advice is to stop advertising enhanced clean - No guests care about it and, if you are doing it properly, it will add many hours to your cleaning time.

Yes, especially if you've signed up to do the Enhanced Cleaning Protocol. You have to wash everything between guests, literally.

MOST DEFINITELY! I highly recommend buying the pure cotton type that hotels use. They hold up much better than most rugs and can be thrown in with the towels while being washed.
