We are doing a bit of "rough research". Anyone want to help and answer a very few questions? There are some astonishing results already.

2 周Your survey is missing some critical questions, I think: source of labor. For example, are your cleaners employees, independent contractors, or a third party service provider company? Is your laundry in-house (in-unit W/D operated during turn vs. offsite laundry facility), or outsourced - I’d add this as a question as well? Those are drivers of some of the biggest cost differentials - the host’s operating model. At one end of the spectrum, a small host may clean and do the laundry themselves, and not adequately compensate themselves for their time. At the other end of the spectrum, the operator may use a cleaning company, have a laundry service, and may even rent their sheets - their cost structure per turn will be much higher (and therefore cleaning fee).
