Is it a host's responsibility to supply laundry detergent?

[Bruce-And-Patty0]

For those of you who AirBnb your place--if it has a clothes washer and dryer, do you supply laundry detergent for your guests to use?

@Bruce-And-Patty0  For short stays, it makes sense to provide some basic detergent. Guests don't generally travel with their own, and they don't want to have to buy a whole package just to do one or two washes. 

With long-term bookings, it's expected that guests will be getting their own groceries throughout the stay, so leaving them detergent isn't quite so essential. However, I'd do it anyway - mostly in hopes that if they wash their sheets during the stay, they'll use the "correct" detergent.

Yes, at least a little bit. Half a liter in a dispenser would be good. Usually if they're just short term guests I don't even think they'd use it

Yes, we do.

It’s not listed as an amenity so if they use it all they’re responsible for buying their own.
