Vacation rental owners - how often wash blankets?

[Anonymous]

We inherited a large beach property last year and are planning to rent it out this summer since we won't be able to visit often.

We are currently updating all of the bedding. I think we will get 2 sets of sheets to make turnover faster. The cleaning team we found said they don't wash comforters every time between guests. Only 1-2 per month or if they are soiled.

When we've rented vacation homes ourselves I guess I just assumed that they usually washed all of the bedding between guests.

How often do you wash your blankets/comforters for your rental?

Uh, between each set of new guests!

Yuck. Please get a duvet cover and tell them to wash it every time!

Obviously sheets are washed between each set of guests.

The question was about the blankets and comforters. You wash everything between guests?

Definitely do duvet covers. A lot of hotels have moved to those. It is more sanitary for guests.

That's disgusting. We have light weight quilts from Walmart. Easy to wash every time.

Is that what you use for your vacation home?

Someone recommended triple sheeting, which is what a lot of hotels do.

This is so disgusting but I am not terribly surprised. Now I know that I need to put all the comforters in the washing machine when I first arrive to any rental.

Hotels with blankets and comforters don't do it either.

I have never stayed at a rental that had comforters. They all have thin blankets/quilts that can be easily washed and dried for this reason, OP.

I also always wash the blankets immediately upon arrival anyway because I can't be sure that the owners aren't cheap and lazy like you.
