STR Owners: Anyone Switch to Body Wash only (no bar soap)?

Jon Martin
Posted

Will be launching in around a month. I've always hated those tiny bars of hotel soap that barely last a day. With a larger group, you could easily blow through several of them which could add up and create stress regarding how many to make available. An STR I just stayed in fave my wife and I 1 bar for 2 nights, and a baggy with 2 tide pods for laundry. While I understand the need to control costs and that some guests can take advantage, I don't want to be that host, so I want to find a middle ground where the guests are happy but costs are in order.

Therefore I’m thinking of putting dispensers for body wash, shampoo and conditioner and having the cleaners top them off consistently or at least when they get down to the halfway mark. That way there is no concern about there ever being enough, no buying 100s of tiny bottles and bars, and not having the extras I leave out disappear.

Has anyone gotten complaints for going this route? I would also probably buy a bulk amount of shower puffs on alibaba for around 40 cents each, that way the body wash lasts far longer and I think the guests will appreciate that. 

Thoughts?
