[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We have a beach condo that we've rented out for decades through many different rental agencies that take care of the cleaning between renters. All agencies require a thorough cleaning before the summer season. If you're renting in May or June, you're going to get clean blankets and throw pillows, a well-stocked kitchen, clean windows, and new bed pillows.

If you're renting in August, those blankets and bed spreads are going to be nasty. They never get washed between renters. The cleaners don't have time and they don't care. We can't supervise the cleaners each week so everything just gets worse and worse as the season goes on. Items get taken from the kitchen, blankets soiled and put back in the closet, and kid fingerprints all over the windows.

We don't rent in the fall or winter so that gives us time to thoroughly clean everything before the next season but when a unit is rented year-round I imagine it is a constant struggle to keep up.
 
When we travel, I assume that sheets are clean and bedspreads/blankets are not.[/quote]

You could also pay extra to your cleaners right before you arrive to have them clean the blankets and duvets.  I did this with our old airbnb years ago.  I also asked to wash couch throw pillow cases, because I don't want to smell other people's dirty hair residue on them.   :lol:  We had a couch where the slipcovers could be taken off and we washed them 1/2x a year, but couch throw pillows were easy to wash any time. Although obviously we deal with dirty duvets when we stay at hotels, I had different feelings towards my own place. [/quote]
