Impressive, but here's my version:debk wrote:I read Martha's site and that's pretty much the way we do it.

1. Take out of tumble dryer and roll into a ball.
2. Put in plastic supermarket bag with others.
3. Match up with beautifully ironed top sheet and pillows cases picked up from laundry (on wire hangers)
4. Stretch fitted sheet over mattress cover to eliminate wrinkles (hybrid version of Joan's methodology).
5. Cover with immaculately ironed top sheet, duvet cover and luxurious pillows and bedcover.
Works for me... (time saved is used to wash banana skins.... )
And here's a couple more questions on the subject of bedlinens, bearing in mind that my guests didn't show this weekend and the next arrival is 3 weeks away.
6. How long do you leave an unused bed before you freshen for next guests?
7. Do you freshen up by:
a) turning the top covers down to air for a few hours before arrival of next guests.
b) removing the sheets completely and shaking them out, then remaking with the same sheets
c) stripping the bed completely and putting the sheets back through the wash
d) leaving the bed as is and spraying something that smells of fresh linen on the sheets
e) doing nothing, (the bed stays made up as is until used)
(this may have to be a poll)
