I always assume not. Just like they don't wash the furniture after any guest had been seated there. Nor do they sanitize everything that previous guests have touched.
I assume there are clean towels and clean sheets and that's it.
+1. Seriously, how do PPs who expect everything to be laundered exist in the outside world?

Yes, absolutely. I even wash throw rugs - in case they walked barefoot or spilled something.

Also - most of world doesn’t have mega machines like on US. Wool blankets not laundered between guests.
I bring my own pillows when I travel for the most part. I don’t sleep well on most other pillows let alone the grossness

How are you sure blankets are not coming into contact with skin? My husband often tangles himself in the top sheet and ends up with the blanket directly on top of him….
Not to mention…. bodily fluids can definitely penetrate multiple layers.
Eww. Remind me to bring my own blankets next time I stay anywhere.
After you have guests over, do you steam clean carpets or rugs? Steam clean upholstered furniture? Launder bed pillows? Disinfect light switches and stair railings?
I am not sleeping on your carpet or upholstered furniture and my guest pillows are in zipped protectors that get washed. The point is the bed is the place you’re spending most time when you’re staying somewhere. It should be clean

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)

Out guest bed has cotton sheets, a cotton blanket, a quilted coverlet thing and a duvet with a down insert.
I always wash the sheets, blanket and duvet cover. The coverlet gets washed if I have time between guests, but if the turnover is quick it might not. Sorry.

And that is why I never stay at them. We are fortunate to have a few staffed houses in our favourite cities around the world.

Always. What kind of person does not? One raised by dirty parents?

I use duvets for this purpose. I would wash blankets. I don’t use quilts because they can’t be washed easily. This is also why I stay in hotels.

I wash all bedding after a visitor. Yes, I would expect all bedding to be washed when I am a guest.
