I have been keeping pretty busy innkeeping for several B & B's that have owners that range from very hands on and high standards to those who hire out most of the work and are very uninterested in their properties, to those somewhere in the middle.
Despite the differing levels of involvement there is one consistent thing I have noticed at all of the properties that informs my question: Do you change out the mattress pads and shower rugs/bath mats between every guest? Or do you try to "preserve" them from too much laundering by the look and see method? If they aren't dirty or have obvious stains, do you let them be?
I have been surprised to find that at all of the properties I have worked at that these are not laundered after every guest. I have to admit that I'm a little skeeved out by that. Am I missing something that I need to know about? I might be able to see that the mattress pad is protected by sheets, but the bath rug may very well have someone's foot fungus or toe crud implanted on it!
How many mattress pads do you allot per room, ditto on the bath mats?
Thanks!
