Free Vacation Rental Laundry Procedure Checklist – One-Page Linen Handling Checklist for Hosts & Cleaners, Word, No Canva
Free Vacation Rental Laundry Procedure Checklist – One-Page Linen Handling Checklist for Hosts & Cleaners, Word, No Canva
Download a free vacation rental laundry procedure checklist and make linen handling the same every turnover. Linens are the most visible part of a clean stay, and the most common place for mistakes: stained sheets, damp towels and missing sets. This one-page checklist gives your cleaner or laundry service a simple routine from the first bag to the closet shelf.
The checklist has six sections with tick boxes: sort, wash, dry, fold, count and store. Each has a notes cell beside it, and sample wash temperatures are filled in as editable brackets so you can match them to your own linens and machines. A linen count box at the bottom records sheet sets, bath towels, hand towels, washcloths, bath mats and pillowcases. Fields at the top record the date, who did the laundry, the property and the number of loads. Letter and A4 versions are both included.
