Do you wash blankets/quilts between guests?

[Anonymous]

Yes I wash everything. I know my in laws don’t and pull up the sheets accordingly so my face doesn’t touch the blanket

[Anonymous]

I agree though, nobody should be sleeping naked while a guest in someone’s home.

Yes

not doing so is gross

when I stay at airbnbs, I try to get there early enough to wash all the bedding because some gross hosts dont wash all the bedding

Gross. Who wants to sleep with a dirty comforter with dry clean chemical residue on it??

Just adding a no to the mix. I think there are lots of people who would only wash sheets and pillowcases.

I put blanket and duvet in dryer on high heat with dryer sheets after guests for a short stay. For a week or more, I wash everything.

This is why I have duvets vs quilts. I have white sheets so I can bleach everything! (I don’t bleach every wash, but I like knowing I can)

Blankets no. I air out by draping over chairs.

No body oils came in contact with the blanket.


Hotels don’t wash actual bedspreads or blankets between guests (just sheets that sandwich a duvet)

Only the gross ones don't. Good ones definitely do.

No, no they don't.

I am a clean freak and the "dance" in our foyer when taking on and off shoes (as to not dirty the "inside clean" areas of the home) is ridiculous.

While most in the US don't wear shoes inside, surprisingly many allow their guests to wear shoes inside their home https://today.yougov.com/society/articles/20063-most-americans-take-their-shoes-home-dont-expect-t

In regard to blankets and throw pillows etc. - in my case mattress/pillow protectors + duvet covers make me most at peace. Which of the "inner" bedding items get cleaned when depends on the length of stay, body odor/perfume level and so on.

We don't let guests bring their dogs as we don't have pets ourselves. I would get a panic attack trying to figure out how to keep my home clean enough with a dog around (I would be like a dog chasing its own tail around the home trying to clean after the dog.)

I'm not putting my unclothed body on the chair or throw pillows, nor is my face oil / drool on those. Beds get all of that, yes on blankets too.

I don't believe that no hotels wash covers (some dont, not all), and there is a trend toward duvets in hotels. At home I have duvets or light quilts that can launder and I expect the same on guest beds.

Sleeping nude is for your own home. Please bring pjs as a guest in my house and then you won’t mind the unwashed quilt and I won’t have to worry about your naked body leaving fluids to clean. Win-win!!

Skin and other stuff get on fabric. Gross.

We bathe our dog at least weekly and wipe the paws and face regularly.

Our beds have antique heirloom handmade quilts on the beds. Unless you were raised by heathens, you should know to fold those down to the foot of the bed and not sleep with them covering you. They are often more than 100 years old and can’t be washed in a machine. The blanket and sheets get washed each time they are used.

It never occurred to me that people would be so careless as to sleep on them!

Clean freak again... but some people allow dogs to jump into their bed/sleep in their beds? And what about the dogs feet and rear end - on your furniture, in the bed etc? You just don't worry or think about those things? It is just me?

Make sure you give people two luggage racks.

I keep dogs off the bed but really yes, I don’t worry or think about those things. I’m just fine with things being considerably dirtier than you, because I don’t think there are any negative consequences and I want to live relaxed and with dogs.
