Thanks boss!

[@francescacalabretta9172]

Sean, you teach as I like to learn and teach myself, dynamic, rapid and with occasional humour. Tx so much. What towles do you use for shower? Nice and big and have a hook for hanging as well...nice! tx again

[@christmastreelanefarm]

The cute animals made me laugh out loud...literally! Thanks for the great tutorial and the humor.

[@AirbnbAutomated]

I really dropped the ball and abandoned the camera for a sec!

[@christmastreelanefarm]

@@AirbnbAutomated The animals made up for it. ;)

[@aroundtownrealestatewithth4682]

Me too! Lol

[@nivlakhera9]

I likely will never fold towels like that but I am you are very generous and charismatic and your heart and mind is in the right place , and you are so very helpful to so many people - thanks for sharing your journey and helping people along the way - means a lot ❤️

[@jalabi99]

No one else is bringing this high-quality content in this space on KZbin!

[@jeffyoder9003]

Sean I've never given a comment before. I really appreciate what you do for all of us. I have watched you for about a year 1/2 2 years. I only run one house in the Colorado wilderness. But I have learned amazing Tips and Tricks. Look up Secluded Mountain Retreat. I love what I do, but you have shown me and taught me how to love it more. I'm forever in your gratitude and your debt thank you. CIE Jaya devoted Forever fan....

[@AirbnbAutomated]

So happy to be able to help :) I’ll look you up

[@takingstock163]

lol, the swan fold is so 1985. y'all keep doing that and i'll fold my towels like it's 2022. I do agree that it does give the room personality, saving you on decor purchases. I still think people will love a larger towel (larger than what you're providing), regardless of how you are folding them.

[@BennaVonArchimboldi]

Yes! what's with the cheap love motel vibe!

[@luckiestwomen]

You are a GENIUS !!!!! there is nothing you can't do ...Thank you so much for all your videos

[@jaygutierrez2837]

Best advice on linens that I have seen!!!

[@EricaNernie]

Worth watching just for the 'knife hand' trick!

[@fionaconnolly7809]

You are such an all rounder Sean. Love this! Especially the technique for duvet covers which I always have problems with. Thank you.

[@thesandman8642]

That Gandalf reference nailed it! This is genius Sean! My current duvet method takes about 10 minutes talk about time saved.

[@AirbnbAutomated]

That’s a lifetime in duvet-years

[@PaxPixie]

I'm a home stager and I help Airbnb hosts get more bookings through design & making over their spaces. I highly recommend white sheets because if they are stained you can always just bleach them. Once a colored sheet gets a stain, it's extremely difficult to get rid of the stain without discoloring the sheet. Also, people associate cleanliness with white linens. If I see dark sheets on a hotel or airbnb bed I would immediately be wondering if they are clean or questioning what stains they are trying to hide. That's my expert advise followed by my personal opinion. Thanks for the excellent videos! They are interesting and informative. Kudos on your successful business and channel.

[@bakerc98]

Great comment! Do you offer your services remotely, for example through a zoom call? I'm a Fallout freak so your thumbnail caught my eye.

[@tjle4900]

Where are you located? I may need your help if you live close to my AirBnB.

[@takingstock163]

bleach is not very enviro friendly though.

[@jenniferkannapel9450]

Agree for white linens and towels. We went to a very expensive stay that provided BROWN linens and towels. Gross! I commented to host and they said it was easier to keep looking clean. I told them it actully just looks dirty.

[@BennaVonArchimboldi]

Agree! White is a hospitality standard. Is great on things you want to make sure they are clean. Plus... not a fan of the swan towels... love hotel vibe.

[@Caramellbomb]

I watch you daily. Thank you for your knowledge and experience!

[@DewiiAljoe]

Great tips

[@melidsalopez3231]

Oh god! Your like my personal therapist!! When I think of something ahead, like this, I just find my answers, everytime; I run to you!!! Ehehehe!! Amazing! Voila!

[@DewiiAljoe]

Great ideas

[@coldspring22]

Thanks, I don't find fancy towel rolling useful, but Duvet cover trick is awesome!

[@kama.ricardo]

Just bought a duvet and duvet cover for personal use and this was just so helpful. Thank you

[@mariacorleone4648]

It was the cute animals for me

[@ozdayo3536]

Great video Sean! The duvet class was really helpful! I gave up on them a few months ago and bought quilts. They are so much easier to use. Still have the duvets and glad I watched this video since winters are pretty harsh in Kansas and duvets will keep my guests warm.

[@norabody]

Great humor and entertaining with the education. Thank you! You are amazingly helpful! :D

[@hendrsb33]

The towel sculptures reminded me of a funny story from a trip I took to Egypt. Many of the hotels made towel and blanket sculptures for the guests but on a Nile River cruise. some yahoo on the room service staff made a comforter/towel person and set it on one of the beds. It was a fake person constructed of two extra comforters, a rolled up towel and a discarded Halloween-type mask. There were two of us staying in the room and room service person borrowed a pair of slippers to make feet for the fake bed-sitter. So imagine entering the room at night like I did and seeing a silhouette of what looks like a stranger sitting on a bed. Startled the crap out of me, seeing somebody sitting there in the dark. At least I could laugh about it later. It's a good thing my roomie didn't see it before I did.

[@AcornHillHomestead]

My guest linen closet is in the bathroom and has no door so we roll them all and stack them. They look nice all together this way on the open rustic wood shelves. Hand towels live in a basket same roll. A quick, simple, no fuss look. I think the swans look somewhat dated and aren’t an efficient use of turnover time. TFS.

[@keishathomas1238]

its the cute animals for ME!!

[@TheCapitalistPath]

So much content! Thanks, Sean!

[@m119106]

You got my heart with those animals lol

[@kimberiysmarketstrategy]

Great way to do the Duvet Sean & friends :) I’ve done the inside-out but laying it over the bed will help!

[@xiiguardian]

my grandma taught me the duvet cover trick when I was a kid. I thought everyone did it that way! lol

[@befitwithhelen2004]

Wow that’s amazing and easy to do that after you teach, thank you so much 😊

[@childofgodhijodedios2080]

Lol the “cute animals”

[@peterstephenson9360]

I would add- Use a cumulus sheet/cover as that top sheet. Additionally, be sure to 'cure' linens in your linen closet, ensuring they are wrinkle free on your beds. To cure, take them out of the dryer when they are 97% dry....just barely damp to the touch (in extremely humid areas this is not necessary), fold them nicely and stack in your linen closet flat until use.

[@ChocolateMonkeh]

They dont get that musky wet smell?

[@yeseniacrespo8429]

Thank you so much. 👌🏼👍🏻🙂🌺🌻🦋💞🦄🦄🦄🦄

[@AirbnbAutomated]

Of course of course!

[@courtneycole235]

Very helpful. Especially duvet portion. Brad Pitt in Fight Club asking why we know what a duvet is, randomly popped into my head. Like them, do find them a pain tho.

[@77Tadams]

White Linens and Sheets. It looks and smells fresh for hotel/Airbnb vibe. No on the swan....it just looks people touched my linens too much and not cool. LOL. It is weird.

[@jennydemmer3674]

thanks so much, your videos are fabulous

[@szasremmurd8002]

On duvets better to turn inside out, lay insert on top and then tie the corners, that’s what the ties are for lol I just found out and VOILA no bunching or arms deep into to duvet lol

[@jmonge1]

great video

[@brittneyblaxstone9660]

I have a weird question. For every guest do you put a new roll of toilet paper? What do you do with a half used toilet paper?

[@jenniferkannapel9450]

You don't tie the corners on your duvet covers? Also hosts can Google burrito roll duvet for great videos on quick duvet cover change.

[@suzisaintjames]

He didn't say this but after rolling the duvet cover to the far end, grab that far corner of the duvet AND the duvet cover and pull to the outside. Repeat on the other side... Grab the corner of the duvet AND the corner of the cover and pull to the outside. ❤🌅🌵😷

[@AirbnbAutomated]

Lol yes. Grab both! Good catch!

[@NessyPerth]

When I’m browsing listings and I see coloured sheets, I move on to the next listing. Anything other than crisp white sheets make me suspicious for some reason.

[@DoniaDesautels]

Coloured sheets show stains too; what are you suspicious of? That the host has personality?

[@suzisaintjames]

As a guest, I have want white sheets. I want to see if there are stains. I want to know if that sheet is old and grey! I guess I've watched too many of Gordon Ramsey's Hotel Nightmares. ❤🌅🌵😷

[@suzisaintjames]

@SA , if they are grey from bad maintenance, I'd mention it in my review if the host didn't correct it first. 💜🌞🌵😷

[@Neilhouse5]

HOUSEKEEPERS HATE HIM! Use this one simple trick...

[@jaunbonaysmith]

New Subscriber & Aspiring AirBnB host here Thanks for this great upload. As it relates to AirBnB does the Towels/Sheets/Pillows have to be "White"????

[@LeonardoDaVinciLulz]

I prefer my linens to be white/cream, looks cleaner. And I hate when people over fold towels etc. I just don't like to think about how much people have handled the linen I use, all those germs etc. 🤢 Otherwise good video.

[@jezebellab1779]

Dark sheets and skin/hair moisturizer oils , peroxide skin care = no bueno.

[@ChocolateMonkeh]

I dont mind coloured sheets at all, I love colourful things. I know a lot of people only like white but when I start using my home as an airbnb I will have one super aesthetic room (my daughter's room) that is pink, white and black themed so im going to alternate the sheets in those colours 🤷‍♀️ if you don't like it dont book it lol (the other 3 rooms will be white linens)

[@SummerNicoleGonzalez]

Hi my name is Luna I own 4 houses in Puerto Rico by the beach I need help with my inventory can you please give me an idea

[@markhetz1119]

If you have an Airbnb how do you have time to do all this you must not have a very good turnover I’m by the beach I have to do very simple very quick because I have people checking in every other day

[@patriciasheng7400]

If someone is staying for a week, do you provide more than one towel?

[@AirbnbAutomated]

Yes absolutely

[@ioannisgourounias6846]

not so relevant but my airbnb account has been blocked from airbnb for trying to contact host outside their website. anyone can help me ? is it permanent or is just a warning ?

[@takingstock163]

do you Americans not have doonas/duvets in your homes?? you turn it inside it, grab your corners and "drop" the cover over the doona. of course it's easier for tall people but this isn't rocket science. Still a giant pain though! especially for king and super king sizes.

[@livingasarose3927]

Top sheets annoy me!

[@randominfochick7457]

Wish intros were shorter

[@schneegazelle]

are you serious.. birds shape.. looks like a cheap Thai hotel 🤣🤣

[@AirbnbAutomated]

It is a cheap Thai hotel.

[@schneegazelle]

@@AirbnbAutomated if thats the case, I did not watch till the end.. seriously I can't see those birds on my bed.. at all 😅

[@nicholasjanosy2214]

Skip the cute towels, they are just gimmicks. Fresh, clean, and not worn are much more important. People notice and resent being tricked.

[@linmurray436]

So how do you dress the bottom (bed frame)? That metal bed frame exposed gives all the ambiance of a prison cell!

[@nyargingo]

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@kymberlydawn1445]

Love that you are tackling this topic but first you should break up the videos into separate subjects. You never showed how to fold the sheets to keep them.from wrinkling. You need to slow down and take your time. You talked so fast and so rushed, half the time I was not following what you were saying and doing. Re shoot the 3 sheet method so we can actually see what you are doing. Use a different color duvet or sheet because you can not see white on white. And lastly, do you know how hard it is to pick up and throw out a king size down comforter with a duvet on it?? I am a strong woman and it's hard as hell! There are easier ways to put on a duvet cover where you dont have to throw it in the air to straighten it out. Great subject, horrible presentation.

[@superaletta]

Hi, what are washcloths for? I'm from Italy, I never really understood how they are used. As make up removers? We don't use them over here. Thanks!

[@LuanaOliveira-ue5dn]

I like the grey towels too. Some people say that white is the best because hotels use them, but I think grey is better.

[@takingstock163]

we use grey everything, towels and sheets, but grey is our colour scheme. grey, white + another accent colour in each property. makes buying accessories, and sharing thing across the 3, very easy.

[@prescint10]

We use white towels in our properties with black makeup towels stocked as well. Was thinking of stocking a set of black towels as well vs grey

[@bamacheats]

@@prescint10 That’s exactly what we do. White is psychologically “clean”

[@YesItsMeGuys68]

I am a huge fan of all your videos ... gotta say though, this towel folding tutorial was ... well .... eh .... not so good . All i see is rough edges showing and fabric that has heavily touched by your hands . yuck

[@c.o3301]

What’s with the cheesy towel folding? We’re not trying to emulate a cheesy 1980’s motel

[@jezebellab1779]

I cut off all tags. They are annoying

[@Harzeezreport]

the duvet cover thingy you did was interesting. i put the cover inside out then grab the farthest ends from the opening then fluff out tucking in the parts with the opening last.

[@babycakes8434]

Turn the duvet cover inside out, put your hands inside to grab the furthest corners, grab the conrners of your duvet to stick the corners together, dress the duvet. I can teach you that if you teach me more about how to start my own Airbnb😉Good info. Thank you.

[@RajveerSingh-rd2if]

Thank you

[@beew9743]

Love the swan. Looking for that shape for a long time. Subscribed.

[@maryjanesgal1]

Try light grey sheets! 😊 they do not show fading, they also will last long er since they will not need major cleaning agents, stains are not only harder to see but usually do not show up. :)

[@malademunger8201]

Best tutorial I've watched so far. Making it very elegant & easy. Thank you for sharing.

[@maivchannel2629]

So cutie when see a man do it ( everyone can do) I watched your video 3 years ago. And now I’m Ready for hosting MY. Good luck 🍀

[@AdiaDance]

I’ve NEEDED this! Thanks so much!

[@jenniferkannapel9450]

Ty! I think one of the first videos i watched of yours, when you were first starting out, was about towel folding;-) Glad you are adding about duvet covers. Yeah duvet covers!! We just stayed at a beachfront Hilton that was triple sheets. UGGHH. Reminded how much i hate sleeping on a triple sheetted bed! Woke up with the comforter on face. Yick! Still big on white linens and bedding.

[@jameswu6149]

You are always the best best one for teach everything about Airbnb hosting.

[@YSuperstars]

Yes! For the animals!

[@krisieyo2852]

Thanks for the duvet magic! Almost better than the unicorns ;-)

[@aprilbox3766]

good duvet covers have ties in the corner to hold the comforter.

[@bella8394]

This was really good and I'm going to an air bnb in 2 days so I will definitely use these cool hacks and tricks!

[@kellyeboughton13]

Oooo oils for oô op
