How should I manage stains on linens?

The answer

Inspect promptly, follow appropriate care instructions, and remove items that cannot meet your guest standard. Do not conceal a stain by arranging bedding for photographs or assuming the next guest will overlook it.

Track recurring causes and the effect on stock. Routine replacement belongs in the operating budget; unusual incidents can follow the applicable documentation and claim process.

This answer is general education. Apply it to the property's actual location, agreements, and circumstances. Where a decision requires professional advice, use a qualified adviser.
