Complete linen change or duvets for each new guest

[Elizabeth Keone]

Hi, I’m a big proponent of giving beds a complete linen change between guests, but I’m getting a little pushback that this is too much for the cleaners to handle during their short turnarounds. As a consolation, I’m going to try maybe a full zippered duvet, which should be much easier than traditional button styles.  Any feedback on doing this, successes, failures, tried ad true brands?

So we do a full sheet change of course between guests.

We use the Charisma/Berkshire comforters from Costco. They get washed several times a season each, but we have 8 for each bed. I always buy another when they go on sale.

So each comforter gets washed every 2 guests or so.

One way to handle excess laundry is have hampers in the garage or wherever and store dirty laundry in there until a day between guests wash. That is how we handle things.

We have 6 sets of king and 12 sets of queen sheets along with 8 twin sets. We can do 5 back to backs without really breaking a sweat.
