Hoggirl Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 When you have overnight company coming to stay, how far ahead of time do you wash their sheets before they arrive??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janie Grace Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 Day before or day of arrival. I like them to be fresh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dobela Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 Whenever it was that I last washed them. If they don't smell fresh when I pull them out of the linen closet, I will rewash them the day I make up the bed. Otherwise, they are what they are.

Swimtaxi234 Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 Since we don't have a guest bedroom, I wash the sheets where guest will stay that morning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clementine Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 I put the new sheets on the morning they come. I pull them out of the linen closet clean, but run them in the dryer with a dryer sheet for about 15 min. to freshen them up. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoggirl Posted November 16, 2011 Author Share Posted November 16, 2011 Well, I only have one set of sheets which are on the bed. I will put them on the bed right after I wash them. I like them as fresh as possible, too, but there is SO much to do for Thanksgiving, that I would rather do them ahead of time. But, they will be *ON* the bed. So, is a week too far ahead of time under my scenario? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Impish Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 I'd think it would be fine. You could even stick a dryer sheet in the bed and take it out that am. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daisy Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 We don't have a guest bed. Company gets my son's bed. So it is same day or the night before if I had my son sleep on the couch (just depends on how busy I am). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alternatively, you could leave them folded after laundry and just take a few minutes to make the bed that same morning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ellie Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 I didn't have an actual guest bedroom for most of my married life, but since I have had one (ok...I have three guest rooms now), I wash the bedding after the last guest leaves and make up the bed right away, so that it's ready to go for the next, even if the guest shows up at the door at the last minute...which has never happened, but I'm prepared. :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only have a sofa bed to offer, but I have a set off sheets just for it. I wash them after each use then put them on straight out of the linen closet when guests are coming.

Cassy Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 I didn't have an actual guest bedroom for most of my married life, but since I have had one (ok...I have three guest rooms now), I wash the bedding after the last guest leaves and make up the bed right away, so that it's ready to go for the next, even if the guest shows up at the door at the last minute...which has never happened, but I'm prepared. :lol: I've done this too, especially when I had much smaller children and life was a lot more chaotic. However, if it's been a while between visits, I now worry that the sheets might be dusty (although given that it's a guest room that nobody goes in at all when we don't have guests, that's probably unlikely). I would have no qualms about having the bed made up a week or two before guests are due to arrive. Having people visit is about so much more than perfectly laundered sheets :D. I think most importantly guests want to enjoy the company of a happy and relaxed hostess, not someone who's totally frazzled running around aiming for perfection. But that's just me :001_smile:.

I'm going with this, b/c it was what I wanted to hear. :D And I'm using Imp's idea of sticking a dryer sheet on the bed until they arrive. Very clever!
