In the world of hospitality, providing an exceptional guest experience is the cornerstone of success for Airbnb hosts and hotel managers alike. While several factors contribute to guest satisfaction, the significance of high-quality linens in elevating their stay should not be underestimated. In this blog, we will delve into the profound impact of high-quality linens on guest experience.
As an Airbnb host, one of your top priorities is providing a memorable experience for your guests. Clean and high-quality linens and towels play a crucial role in achieving guest satisfaction. However, managing and maintaining a sufficient supply of linens and towels can be a challenge. In this blog post, we will explore how linen and towel hire services can help Airbnb hosts streamline their operations and deliver an exceptional guest experience.
Whether you manage a hotel or host an Airbnb, comfort and cosiness are the catalyst for success. Usually, this stems from the bed linen basics. To impress your guests, the finer details, such as thread count matters in bed linen.
The value of hotel bed linens is exceptional. Guests come to your hotel for relaxation and a good night’s sleep, so you’ll want to meet their expectations with quality bed linens. There are quite a few things to look for when choosing hotel bed linens and to help you out, we’ve compiled a list.
When choosing hotel bed linens, one of the key things to look for is the thread count. It is a misconception that the higher the thread count, the cosier the bed linen will be.
A higher thread count such as 800 – 1000 will mean the bed linens would be uncomfortable and too thick.
As a rule of thumb, a 150 to 400 thread count is a safe option to choose. Most of the big hotel companies typically choose a 400 thread count so if you’re a new hotel owner, you can stick with this number for the luxurious feel.
It’s worth noting that bed linens with lower thread counts are known to be made of light cotton and soft materials.
The good news is that Laundryheap Linen’s bed linen has a 180-thread count that will guarantee your guests have a relaxing sleep!
Most hotels usually opt for cotton as the fabric choice. Cotton has a reputation for being high-quality, durable and can withstand washing.
In addition, 100% cotton bed linen is ideal throughout the year – no matter if it’s summer or winter. In the summer, it will help you stay cool by absorbing the heat from your body and will also keep you warm and cosy in the winter.
You can order our 100% cotton bed linens for your hotel here.
One of the crucial things to look for when choosing hotel bed linens is how durable they are when it comes to withstanding laundry. Bed linens at hotels are washed a lot to maintain hygiene standards so ensure the bed linens you choose are durable.
Bed linens are essential in a hotel room as they give your guests that crisp, fresh and comfortable feeling.
We hope this blog has aided your decision-making process when choosing hotel bed linens.

Hotels are fabulous places to stay; they’re a great way for guests to start their holiday week! With an abundance of excitement, it’s only fair you have all the essentials in a hotel room for your guests.
We’ve put together a list of essentials in a hotel room so your hotel guests can enjoy their stay with comfort and excitement.
Staying in a hotel should be cosy. After all, it should be a place where guests can get a goodnight’s sleep. Beds, bed linens and bed pillows are essentials in a hotel room for this reason. Make sure beds are routinely cleaned and looked after to maintain consistency.
Enjoying a relaxing bath is one of the best feelings. Guests often forget to bring their own personal toiletries but offering toiletries go a long way in excellent hotel room service. Whether it’s shampoos or soap, your guests’ spirits should be lifted when they are in the bath or shower.
Towels are essential in a hotel room; they add class to your hotel bathroom and leave a lasting impression on guests. Offering body or face towels is good but it’s also vital you take care of your towels by laundering them consistently.
Hotels attract businessmen. Keep your hotel guests topped up with a stable WIFI connection. It’s a great relief for businessmen to know that they can rely on a goodnight’s stay and a stable WIFI connection.
Similarly, tourists will be delighted with a WIFI in case they want to post on their social media (if you’re lucky, they’ll even give your hotel a shoutout if the service is excellent!).
You can even use your WIFI to book a service with Laundryheap in case you need your laundry done immediately.
Whilst you want your guests to be satisfied with their room, you also want to offer them a good closet that allows them to sort out their clothes.
For instance, families would prefer to unpack their clothes and hang them up in a closet. On the other hand, businessmen may like to hang their outfits or suits up in closets.
Guests may need to separate the dirty clothes (that need laundering) so offering a closet to put the clean clothes in is convenient!
If we’re talking about essentials in a hotel room, the list wouldn’t be complete without a TV! Sometimes simplicity is key and there is nothing better than sitting down drinking coffee while watching the TV! It adds entertainment to your guest’s hotel experience!
If you’re a hotel owner, it’s important to remember the essentials in a hotel room and treat your guests like they are royalty.

You’ve put your bed sheets in the wash and they come out smelling nice! This may seem like the end of your laundry chores, but you could unintentionally be making laundry mistakes.
We’ve compiled a list of 5 laundry mistakes you could be making when washing your bedsheets. If you’re guilty of making these mistakes, it’s time to stop if you want your sheets to have a longer life span!
A common laundry mistake most people make is they only wash their bedsheets when they are visibly dirty. This mistake leads to people washing their sheets every one or two months. Germs, sweats, and dirt build up over time and can cause negative effects to not only your sheets but also yourself. As a rule of thumb, wash every two weeks and you can even schedule your laundry if it helps you to remember!
Bedsheets need to be comfortable and in good condition for a good night’s sleep. However, if you’re leaving your bedsheets on the tumble dryer, you are making a laundry mistake because this will shrink your bedsheets. To avoid uncomfortable bed sheets getting in the way of good sleep, we recommend drying your sheets in the drying line or rack for better longevity and results!
You love your clothes, sheets, and towels but they don’t love each other. A laundry mistake people often make is they think mix their bedsheets with other clothes and towels. If you mix everything in the washing machine, it’s not efficient and the results won’t be great. Every material has a different washing process and needs more room to circulate. It’s best to have laundry days especially dedicated to your bedsheets for bigger space in the machine.
If you find yourself too busy to have laundry days for your bedsheets, book with us and we’ll launder them for you just before your bedtime!
It’s a common misconception that the dirtier the bedsheet, the more detergent it needs. Unfortunately, this laundry mistake has been proven to do far more harm than good to your sheets. Not only can they leave a stain, leaving them looking less clean, but they also can damage your sheets and your washing machine. The more laundry detergent used, the higher the water use.
We recommend using ½ cup of baking soda and vinegar to wash your bedsheets for silky and soft results.
Everyone has been guilty of ignoring labels on products and food so naturally, it’s a very common laundry mistake to not check the labels before you start washing your bedsheets. For proper laundry care, always read the labels carefully because every bedsheet has different washing requirements; cotton sheets are best washed at a lower temperature and some fabric bedsheets shouldn’t be ironed or put on the tumble dryer.
If you follow the instructions, you’ll wash your bedsheets efficiently and keep them crisp and clean.
You’d be forgiven for not paying too close attention to washing your bedsheets but hopefully, our list of common laundry mistakes will save you some stress and frustration in the future!
Laundryheap is always available to do your bedsheets for you so you can get a cosy sleep at night.

Creased bedding is not very appealing to the eye, but ironing can be an arduous task. These hacks for getting crease-free bedding without an iron are the solution to all of your creased-bedding problems.
It’s always best to prevent a problem rather than solve one. To limit the creasing of your bedsheets make sure that you don’t overload your washing machine. Overloading your machine will cause your sheets to become tangled, therefore encouraging creases. Consider washing your bedding separately from the rest of your laundry to ensure that your items have adequate space to be washed.
The best way to remove wrinkles from bedding is with steam. You don’t need a steamer or an iron to use steam to remove wrinkles, all you need is a handful of ice cubes and a tumble dryer. Once you have put your bedding in your tumble dryer, throw in 2-3 ice cubes and use a high heat setting for 15 minutes. The heat will melt the ice cubes, creating steam, which will relax the fibers in your bedding and remove any wrinkles.
You can buy wrinkle spray, but why buy something that you can make at home?
To make wrinkle spray you will need…
Combine your water, fabric softener, and rubbing alcohol in your empty spray bottle. Give your bottle a shake, ensuring that all of your ingredients are adequately mixed together. Once you are satisfied that your wrinkle spray has been adequately mixed, spray it directly onto your sheets. You should notice your wrinkles disappearing, and the fabric softener leaving behind a pleasant, fresh, smell.
If you have made your bed, only to realise that your sheets are covered in wrinkles, then this simple hairdryer technique will lift the wrinkles in no time. Simply spritz your bedding with water, don’t be afraid to spritz additional water on deeper-set wrinkles, and turn your hairdryer on to the highest heat setting. Move your hairdryer from side to side over each sprayed wrinkle, and watch as they disappear. You’ll have crease-free bedding in no time.
The best way to remove wrinkles from your bedding is to send it to Laundryheap. We will wash, iron, fold, and re-deliver your bedding to you, all within 24 hours. To book your order simply head to the Laundryheap website or download the free Laundryheap app.
On average, we spend 26 years of our lives sleeping, and a further 7 years trying to get to sleep. If we’re spending an average of 33 years of our lives in bed, it’s worth taking the time to make said bed perfect.
As you sleep you sweat and shed skin cells. To keep your bedding adequately clean, wash your duvet cover, bed sheet, and pillow cases every 2 weeks. If you notice an increase in the amount you are sweating over night, such as in the summer months, you may want to wash your bedding every week.
To make sure that your bedding is adequately sanitised, always check your beddings care label and use the hottest wash setting available.
Your duvet should be washed every 6 months. How you wash your duvet depends on the material it is made from.
If you own a synthetic duvet, use the gentle spin setting on your washing machine and add ⅓ of the detergent that you would use in a normal wash. Once your duvet has completed its cycle, leave it to completely air dry before using it again.
Before washing a feather duvet, always check the care label to see if it is dry clean only. If your feather duvet is machine washable, use a gentle cycle and a gentle laundry detergent. Air dry your feather duvet completely before re-using it.
Before washing your pillows check the care label to determine whether they are machine washable and safe to dry in a tumble dryer.
If you can machine wash your pillows, try and wash two at a time to save on multiple loads. Always use a gentle cycle to prevent any unnecessary damage to your pillows, and only use ⅓ of the amount of laundry detergent that you would usually use. If your pillows can be tumble dried, use a low heat setting, or leave them to air dry before returning them to your bed.
Regularly washing your bed linen does not deter you from cleaning your mattress. You need to clean your mattress every 6 months to remove dust mites and skin cells.
Begin cleaning your mattress by stripping you bed linen and hoovering the surface to remove any dirt and dust. Don’t forget to hoover both sides of your mattress and around the corners- dust and dirt can linger in these areas.
After hoovering your mattress, freshen it up by sprinkling baking soda over it. Sprinkle a generous amount over the whole of your mattress, using a soft brush or cloth to evenly spread it out. Leave it to set for 10-30 minutes before hoovering it up. This will help remove any lingering odours and body fluids from your mattress and leave it looking, and smelling, fresh.
After removing the baking soda, leave your mattress to air out for a few hours before re-dressing your bed.
For optimum comfort you should replace synthetic pillows every 1-2 years, memory foam pillows every 2-3 years, and feather pillows every 5-10 years.
If your pillows are causing you discomfort, have developed lumps, or are beginning to smell, it is time to replace them.
As a rule of thumb, it’s good to have 3 sets of bed linen available per bed. This means that you have a set ready whilst you are washing your used set, and a spare set on hand if needed.
The best way to store your bed linen is in a dry and cool environment. Make sure that your bed linen is clean and folded before storing it away.
To ensure that your bed linen is sufficiently disinfected, book a Laundryheap dry cleaning service. To book your Laundryheap service, simply head to the Laundryheap website or download the free Laundryheap app.
Washing your bed sheets is only half the challenge of keeping your bedding fresh. Once your sheets are dried, you have to fold them- which is much easier said than done. Luckily, we have devised this instruction manual to make folding your bed sheets as easy as possible.
Prior to any folding, it’s important that you have enough room to do the task at hand. Make sure that you are in an open space, with enough room to spread out your bed sheets to their full width and length. Ideally, you need a flat surface, such as a bed or table, to lay your bed sheets on, as this will make the folding process much easier.
A fitted sheet has elastic sewn around the sides so that the sheet can fit over your mattress.
To fold your fitted sheet, begin by inserting a hand in each top corner, and turning them inside out. Then, fold your bed sheet in half lengthwise. This will turn your sheet inside out and create pockets. Make sure to tuck your elastic corners into each other to bind the sheet in place.
At this point, you should have two corners in each hand, with the tucked seam facing you and the folded seam on the bottom.
Next, fold your bed sheet in half, lengthwise, bringing the remaining two opposite sides together so all four corners meet. Repeat the tucking of the sides to bind the sheet in place. Your sheet should now resemble a long panel of material.
Finally, fold your sheet three to four times until you form a square.
A flat sheet has no elastic in it, which makes it a lot easier to fold.
Begin by folding your bed sheet in three or four sections lengthwise- the number of sections you choose depends on how big your sheet is.
Next, bring the top corners of your sheet down to meet the bottom corners. From there, fold your sheet three to four times to create a square or rectangle shape.
Pillowcases are small and don’t have any elastic in them, so they are the easiest thing to fold.
To fold your pillowcase, simply fold it into thirds lengthwise and fold these thirds in half to create a square.
Storing your bed sheets in the correct way will limit the amount of wrinkles on them. After folding your bed sheets, place them neatly in a storing cupboard that is completely dry and will not become damp at any point. If you have multiple sheets made of different materials, It is best to separate them to prevent your sheets from becoming mixed up.
When you get your bedsheets dry cleaned at Laundryheap, we will save you the hassle and fold them for you. To book your Laundryheap order, head to the Laundryheap website, or download the free Laundryheap app.
The average person spends roughly 26 years of their life sleeping, and 7 years of their life trying to fall asleep. Despite being in bed for that long, how much do we really know about our bedding?
You should be washing your bed sheets every two weeks, or, if you sweat a lot during the night, every week. For the best care, make sure to always check the care label. You should wash your sheets using the highest possible temperature as this will kill bacteria and get rid of dust mites.
Although you don’t need to wash them as often as your bedsheets, it is still vital to wash your duvet and pillows. Over time, your duvet and pillows will become loaded with dead skin cells and dust mites. To remove them, you should be washing your duvet and pillows at the beginning of every season. To wash your duvet and pillows, use cold water and a delicate cycle. If you use a hot wash, the fibbers will begin to break down and your duvet and pillows will wear out faster.
It’s logical to think that the higher the thread count is the better the quality will be. In fact, this is a lie. It’s not the thread count that is important, it is the quality of the thread. To find the best thread quality, look for the bedding with the longest thread; these are usually stronger and therefore will last longer.
If you’re using a tumble dryer to dry your bed sheets make sure to only half-fill it, even if that means having to dry your sheets in two loads. Over-filling your tumble dryer will leave your bedding twisted together, with no room for the fabric to dry and go back to it’s original shape.
The best bedding is made from organic cotton, meaning that there was no chemicals added to the bedding throughout the whole process of it being made. When you are buying organic cotton bedding make sure that you always check the label. Some ‘organic cotton’ bedding may have been made using cotton that was organically grown, but was then mixed with toxic chemicals to produce the end result. For 100% organic cotton bedding check for a Oeko-Tex certification.
Egyptian cotton sheets are expensive because their fibres are strong and soft, making them durable whilst remaining comfortable to sleep on. Before purchasing Egyptian cotton sheets, make sure that they are 100% Egyptian cotton. Some companies will claim that their sheets are Egyptian cotton, but this could mean that only a percentage of the fibres used were Egyptian cotton. If you are going to spend your money on Egyptian cotton sheets, make sure that you are paying for 100% Egyptian cotton.
Bamboo sheets naturally regulate your temperature to keep you warm in the winter and cool during the summer. As soon as you become too hot and begin to sweat, the bamboo in your sheets pulls the moisture away from you, and into the sheets, keeping you at a regulated temperature. They are also sustainable and have anti-allergen qualities.
The most effective way to spruce up your bedding is to buy new pillowcases. Every 6 months buy fresh pillowcases and breathe some life back into your sheets. It is the most cost effective way to keep your bed looking fresh.
