Airbnb Linen and Laundry Checklist for UK Hosts
How to build a simple linen and laundry system that keeps you ahead of bookings instead of constantly catching up.
Many hosts underestimate linen. It's not just about having clean sheets; it's about having the right amount of stock in the right place at the right time.
1. Aim for at least 3 sets per bed
One on the bed, one clean and ready, one in the wash. This is especially important in cities like London where laundry turnaround can slip on weekends.
2. Standardise your sets
- Same colours and sizes per property make it much easier for cleaners.
- Keep towels and bedding styles consistent with your listing photos.
3. Decide where laundry lives
On-site washing works for some, but many pro hosts use external laundries or linen rental to reduce complexity.
