@Marissa160 One of the skills hosts need to learn is laundry hacks. What methods to use to get various types of stains out.
For instance, blood stains need to be treated by soaking the item in cold water for awhile, and using hydrogen peroxide on the stain. If you just throw them in the wash with hot water, that sets the stain in so it never comes out, even with bleach.
Protein-based stains, like food and blood, are cleaned differently from grease-based stains.
You can do research online for removing every kind of stain imaginable, although there are a few things that stain irretrievably, like acne medication. But most stains can be removed with the right products and some effort. Of course you can't be buying new sheets all the time.
Some hosts swear by white-they like the fact that they can be bleached and that stains can be easily seen for pre-treating before washing.
Other hosts like colored or patterned bedding (I'm in that camp). That can make a small stain virtually unnoticeable, but for the most part, colored bedding won't "hide" stains. They will still be visible as a darker or lighter area. So it's a personal choice.
If you have 3 sets of sheets for each bed, you don't have to stress out about trying to remove stains quickly- you put clean, stored sheets on when turning over the cabin, take any stained things that need special treatment home to deal with at your convenience, and have an extra set of clean ones on hand for emergencies.
