Agree with you on the folded towel art! My listing is doing quite well because I do take time to get creative with the towels. I also feel a very well made bed is “key”!
Hi, I'm a fairly new host on Airbnb. I have miraculously been doing most things right so far. I don't know what to do or how to handle guests staining sheets and/or towels. A set of sheets cost as much as a nights stay and I can't use them once they're stained. How do I handle this? Should I charge guests? It has now happened to me on three different occasions.
I'm actually renting a townhouse with 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. I'll be staying in the main floor. So two of the bedrooms will be rented, the master and the second room upstairs. So it will be my first time doing this. The lease is for one year and there are 700 townhomes in the area where I'm renting. I'm in california. The rent is 3,200.03. So I'm hoping I will get it. So far it's really hard to getting approved. It's corporate housing. How do you by pass the residential manager even though there are two car garage enclosed in the townhome. Won't they know that you are doing air b and b? or can you by pass that without owning. What's the trick or secret.
Sean, You've done so much for me. I need to repay a little. I also use a duvet, but they take more than a few minutes to get the comforter into the duvet. I saw (sorry, no link) on UA-cam a quick way to roll the comforter & duvet together, and the comforter will unroll into the duvet. My guess is the method should save about 4+ minutes for each bed. (More of course for a King size bed) Just two beds / unit = 8 minutes/unit/day. Twenty units = 160 minutes. Multiply that by 20 times/mo. = 3200 minutes saved/month. That's 53 hours/ month = 636 hours/year. At $16/hr/housekeeper (There is more to pay than just their wages), that comes to a savings of $10,176 each year.
How do you label your make-up towels? Via stitching? Also, if a guest stays for 3+ days, how do you handle the cleaning and refreshing of the unit while the guests' are there. thanks!
There are embroidered cloths on amazon :) We offer cleaning to guests for a really low cost if they want us to do that otherwise they can treat the place just like their own home and wash their own sheets and towels which is usually how guests do it
Never thought folding towels could be so significant. SO you're saying when you take photos of the property for the profile on Airbnb that you do these fancy folds, or that you do this every time?
Eduardo Viana White towels and white linens always. If you use darker linens they will stain your towels or vice versa. Dry your towels on a lower heat!
No, no, no to this ridiculous towel rolling. The swans look incredibly naff! Much more classy is a simple flat fold with sides to middle so the towels can be stacked neatly on top of each other.
Love the idea for the designated makeup towel. Very clever/helpful
Stained hand towels are expensive and avoidable!

You’re going to hit 100k subs this year

We actually use the rolling technique!!
Do you have your own washing facility in each city, or are they simply going to the laundermat...or are you washing on the premises?
We have washers / dryers in 95% of our properties. We use those
Nice luxurious on downtown of Capital Kinshasa. Good staff and affordable price Room rate in comparision of others. My all stay booked in advance.
What do you think about cutting off the tags from towels and bedding?
Isn’t that against the law? You’ll get thrown in the slammer for that
how much do you spend on marketing your properties?

Thanks. You're doing a really great job. I'm still in the works of securing my first and trying to convince my cousin to do it in Taiwan as well.
I wasn’t sure if you were legit until this video... kidding but awesome buddy
With 20 properties I’m sure you have cleaners. Did you teach them this?
We encourage our staff to give input and they have taught us some cool things beyond this.
Never thought folding towels could be so significant. SO you're saying when you take photos of the property for the profile on Airbnb that you do these fancy folds, or that you do this every time?
Yes, we teach our cleaners how to fold this way. But it is additionally important to make sure your photos are top notch. This is one way.
My towels are not lasting. Which towels should I buy? What color? Thanks!!!
Eduardo Viana White towels and white linens always. If you use darker linens they will stain your towels or vice versa.
Dry your towels on a lower heat!
Also the towels I buy are here

How to wash them? Which products to make them look like new? Sorry for so many questions, it's being an issue here :)
The less harsh you are on your towels the longer they last.
Cold water, less heat in the dryer, avoid bleach
And buy quality towels!
No, no, no to this ridiculous towel rolling. The swans look incredibly naff! Much more classy is a simple flat fold with sides to middle so the towels can be stacked neatly on top of each other.
buddy ... there is nothing 'crisp' about your rolls. This is how you greet your guests? I am sure you can do a better job at rolling your towels.
Who heck would do this... especially when u have multiple properties
The housekeepers would do this
Oxyclean gets stains out marvelously
When you change your bed linens, you just change the duvet cover? You nasty
Why would you say that he is nasty?
Hotel does the same.
I believe he washes the Duvet atleast 4times per month...but the cover after every check out. ....😊
For the Algorithm
Dude don't do that. Lol
