I wonder why this service doesn't exist in the consumer sector but does for cloth diapers. Could it just be the amount of volume you need to turn over in order for it to be profitable? In other words exchanging a single set of linens from some number of households isn't as cost effective as gathering a large number from a few hotels/restaurants whereas it does make sense to get a number of diapers from a bunch of households (also, hotels and restaurants don't deal in diapers so the commercial market, outside of daycares, doesn't really exist).

It would probably surprise you to know that a looooot of people get the 'ick' from hotels in general because of the idea that they're sleeping on 'someone else's' sheets. These people, unsurprisingly, tend not to travel much, so you don't hear this complaint widely.

I kinda sympathise, I guess.
- ghaff 3y agoI generically sympathize while still believing adaptability is a pretty basic life skill.
