Logistic Question-Cleaning my Airbnb

[Jordan Hanks]

Hi Guys. About to launch a couple new airbnb properties and I have a question. For the first airbnb property, I'll be cleaning it myself and it won't be that much work. The second one, opening in a couple months will have much greater occupancy and will require that I hire a cleaner. I think I know the answer, but I could use some feedback and tips/tricks re: how you handle one particular part of the clean/turn....

When it comes to linens, i.e. sheets and towels, how are you having your cleaners navigate this so they're not taking hours to clean the unit while they wait for the laundry? Are they taking all the dirties with them and washing at home? How long are their cleans taking them on a 2 bedroom unit? What is the biggest time suck during your turns for you or your cleaners and how are you managing that?

We are providing air mattresses in addition to our bedrooms/beds, so we already plan to have extra sheets onsite just in case they are needed. Just trying to map out the logistics of how to handle the laundry after a checkout to ensure maximum efficiency. 

Will really appreciate any responses!!

I have 3 sets of sheets per bed.  My housekeepers take the laundry and do it off site for most of my properties.  I do have one property - in a different market - where it's done on-site, and it's definitely the biggest time suck.  

Off-site is definitely best if it's at all possible.
