@Kip93 Here’s another option based on a previous experience I had with a guest.
A few days before a guest arrived, she contacted me to double-check that I had a working washer and dryer, because she needed to wash all of the linens on the first day of her stay. I assured her that the washer and dryer were working.
I then mentioned that the linens will have just been washed, and asked if instead we could do something to avoid her having to waste a day of her vacation washing clothes, like use a particular brand of detergent, etc. for her.
She was very pleasant and thanked me for my concern, but assured me that she was used to doing this, and had to first wash everything in plain water and then use a detergent that she brings with her. She again thanked me for my concern and offer. A very pleasant 5-star guest, who also left 5 stars.
Just another example of how some guests might deal with this issue, at least in terms of the linens.
Having an MCS box for hosts to check, as well as an MCS filter for guests to use, is the optimal solution, IMO. Also, for those whose needs can be met with a simple request, some sort of “Host encourages and can accommodate special cleaning requests for those with allergies” box and filter would also be helpful. Both of these filters could help the guest quickly narrow down accommodating properties, without having to maintain a list.
@Breanna, please submit these checkboxes and filters as an enhancement request, if they haven’t been submitted already.
