462. Hosting Hotline: What’s the Best Bedding for Airbnbs That Won’t Snag or Wrinkle?
Welcome back to another Tuesday Hosting Hotline! Today’s question comes from Sarah in Redwood, Mississippi, who’s been crushing it with over 30 stays in just six months. She’s asking something we hear all the time: What sheets actually hold up in short-term rentals? She's tried cotton, poly, bamboo—and still ends up with wrinkled, snagged bedding and lint rollers in hand.
We’re breaking it all down:
– Why the problem might start with your washer, dryer, or water quality, not the sheets themselves
– The detergents and laundering tools that could be making things worse
– Our go-to hospitality-grade sheet brands (including those used in Hilton and Marriott properties)
– What standard hotels do differently to fight lint, hair, and wrinkles
– Why the “easy button” doesn’t exist—and what realistic SOPs can make your beds shine
– Why lint rolling will always be part of the job
– The truth about cotton vs. poly blend sheets and how to reduce wrinkles
– Why your sheets might be fine—but your expectations need to be aligned with professional standards
If you’ve ever wondered what linens last longest, look best, and still feel good for your guests, this episode is for you.
