Why Lemon Clean Co. Will Never Use the Triple Sheet Method
At Lemon Clean Co., we take cleaning seriously—especially when it comes to the most important part of any Airbnb stay: the bed. Guests want to sleep in a truly clean and fresh bed, not just one that "looks" clean. That’s why we will never use the triple sheet method and instead wash duvet covers after every single guest.
What Is the Triple Sheet Method?
Many hotels and short-term rentals use a triple-sheeting method, which involves:
A bottom sheet over the mattress.
A comforter or blanket sandwiched between two additional flat sheets.
A third decorative sheet or light covering on top.
The idea is that this method reduces how often the comforter needs to be washed. However, we believe this is a flawed system that doesn’t prioritize guest hygiene.
Why Triple Sheeting Is NOT Truly Clean
1. The Comforter Isn’t Washed Every Time
Let’s be honest—many hotels and rentals do not wash their comforters between guests. The triple sheet method hides the fact that the middle layer isn’t clean.
While the sheets are changed, the comforter itself may have lingering sweat, bacteria, and even skin cells from multiple guests.
2. It’s Nearly Impossible for Guests to Avoid Touching the Dirty Comforter
No matter how well the triple sheets are tucked, guests will eventually shift them in their sleep.
Most people unconsciously pull up covers at night, meaning they will likely touch a comforter that hasn’t been washed.
The idea of sleeping under (or touching) an unwashed comforter from a stranger is simply not sanitary.
3. It’s Not Feasible for Most Airbnbs to Wash Comforters Every Time
While some high-end hotels may wash comforters more frequently, this is not a practical solution for most Airbnb hosts.
Washing bulky comforters after every stay would be costly, time-consuming, and unrealistic for fast turnovers.
Duvet covers provide the perfect solution—they fully enclose the comforter and can be removed, washed, and replaced after every guest.
Why Lemon Clean Co. Uses Duvet Covers Instead
At Lemon Clean Co., we believe that Airbnb guests deserve hotel-quality bedding with an even higher standard of cleanliness. That’s why we:
✅ Use duvet covers that completely enclose the comforter—no exposed, unwashed layers
✅ Wash the entire duvet cover after every guest, ensuring 100% fresh bedding
✅ Make beds with the highest level of sanitation and guest comfort in mind
Our Commitment to Spotless, Guest-Ready Beds
Triple sheeting may be a shortcut to making a bed look fresh, but at Lemon Clean Co., we care about actual cleanliness, not just appearances. That’s why we have a strict no triple-sheet method policy.
