hello YouTube friends this is Richard founder of short-term rental secrets.com
and Airbnb super host today I'm officially reviewing the popular fast
dry sheets and fast dry towels out let's get into it the first thing I want to talk
about is how do these sheets feel when I unbox them and I open them up they felt
great they felt like nice sheets and they looked like nice sheets but in
order to really put them to the test I've been sleeping on them and I've had
them now for over thirty days and I've been sleeping great I haven't been able
to discern a difference between what I was sleeping on before or these they
just feel like great sheet so the one thing that struck me about these sheets
was that they were two to three hundred thread count and when I purchase sheets
historically for like my residents I've always seen much higher thread count six
hundred eight hundred and so I didn't quite understand what that was I spoke
to the manufacturer a little bit I also did some research online and what I
learned was that thread count is really something that the industry is
manufactured to drive prices up and they equate higher thread count with higher
quality now it is true that higher thread count requires more material but
it doesn't mean that it either feels better or that you sleep better so
that's just really something that you know is a myth and I want to talk about
what the hotel companies are using the hotels if you've ever stayed at a
Marriott or Hilton or anything like that they buy from this exact same
manufacturer maybe even these same exact sheets because they too want to save
time and energy so it's very possible that you've slept on these in a
commercial application but never had access to them in your own home so I've
been sleeping on them and they're great and the one thing that's a benefit of
lower thread count believe it or not is that they're more breathable if you
think about it a looser weave is going to have more air space and so as a
result of that they breathe more they're cooler and a really tight weave it's
like an air lock of barrier so in some regards a lower thread count can
actually lead to a better night's sleep as for the towels they feel great when I
open them up I noticed that they were felt like they were ready to go a lot of
times I'll get brand new towels and they feel like they're - I don't know what
the right word is but they don't feel like they're going to absorb any water
and you end up running them through the washer in the drier several times before
they can actually absorb water these are ready to go okay
so let's turn to the specifications of the sheets themselves they're made at
sixty percent cotton 40 percent polyester they're made to be
soft yet durable and they're treated with this patented dry fast technology
and basically what that does is it means that the sheets and the cotton absorb
less water during the wash cycle and therefore they dry faster if you think
about technology that's in like your athletic gear by Under Armor or other
companies it's the same sort of thing the sheets also have this stain product
recovery technology they reduce the carbon emissions less dryer means less
emissions into the air the towels have the same fabric technology and they're
90% Egyptian cotton and 10% polyester they also absorb less water and
therefore they spend less time in the dryer these sheets and towels are both
available in fresh white I think it's actually the best color for all Airbnb
hosts and the reason is because guests have gotten accustomed to that is like
standard in all hotels and primarily because you can see any stains so if
they're dirty you know it and if they're clean you know before I implemented
these in all my homes and put something on the video I want to make sure that
these actually worked I didn't want to just rely on the manufacturer claims and
so I wanted to create like a scientific experiment as possible I wanted to do
like true Apple to Apple comparison I went to Bed Bath & Beyond I shop for a
similarly priced product with similar characteristics so that brand new sheets
versus brand new sheets brand new towels versus brand new towels so I walked my
local laundromat I got a bunch of change I got two machines next to each other I
put the sheets and the towels and one I put the fast dry sheets and towels and
another one side-by-side I put all the quarters in at the same time I tried to
make this as like unbiased and scientific as possible and then I ran it
on
and to be perfectly honest when I opened it up after the wash cycle I couldn't
really feel any real difference it was kind of similar I mean they felt like
white sheets and towels and that kind of Concerned me so I took it all out of the
machine I rolled it over to the dryer again I got two dryers side by side I
put the regular sheets and towels and one and I put the fast dry sheets and
towels and another one so I put in thin quarters I put 20 minutes in each
machine I didn't anticipate there being anything dry in that period of time but
I thought that was long enough that it would be a great like first check and
after 20 minutes when I opened up the regular dryer sure enough all the sheets
and towels were still quite wet they probably felt like there were maybe 50%
done when I opened up the fast dry suits and towels you can see my expression
here I was actually quite surprised I was expecting the exact same results but
the sheets were actually dry and the towels were relatively dry I felt like
they only needed five more minutes so when I took the fast dry sheets out of
the dryer the one thing that struck me was just like how pressed and ready to
get right onto the bed they look they look like they have been ironed but of
course it hadn't and at that point I just let the towels run for another few
minutes so I wanted to check in every five minutes and after five minutes the
fast dried towels were ready to go so I took them out they felt great they look
great they were ready to absorb water and I checked it on the regular sheets
and towels and even though they were definitely making progress and they felt
like they were getting drier they were still definitely damp and needed more
time and I don't recommend taking damp towels out and like folding them because
they can start to smell and it's just kind of gross so at this point
everything was out of the fast dry dryer and it was all folded and ready to go
and I was literally just sitting around waiting for the regular traditional
sheets and towels to dry so after five minutes I checked back in the sheets
were I would say maybe 90 95 percent dry so I took those out but I had to put
more quarters in to let the towels continue to dry so finally after another
cycle of quarters I took the towels out folded them all up I had everything
ready to go and I took a look at the map and sure enough it saved 30 percent in
the dry time so like I was just sitting there waiting and waiting for the
regular sheets and towels and the other thing that struck me was how many
quarters I was pumping in for the additional dry time required on the
regular stuff like that's money that's in my pocket or in the laundromat
pocket or in the case if you do this at home your electric bill or your gas
company so I'm super pumped because if the size of my operation I have six
different properties multiple bedrooms in each property like the time savings
and also the money savings alone is significant especially when you think
about in the course of a year or two years right and so I'm really pumped now
what if you're a smaller newer person and maybe of like a one-bedroom or a
fold-out couch at the end of the day money is money and time is time and I
don't think either of them are you know worthless so why not save the money like
I said earlier these things can actually pay for themselves over time alright so
as many of you know from prior videos these things weren't available for sale
like retail I had to become actually a b2b wholesaler so I'm and I did that
because I wanted to get other people's feedback and we did this giveaway I gave
really five sets of sheets and I gave it away five set two towels I wanted other
people to tell me what they thought about them and the feedbacks been
fantastic so like that's really cool other people are seeing the exact same
need and the same you know results that I am and that's gratifying and I wanted
to do this for like the community because my problem is probably you know
hundreds thousands maybe even more than that across the world people have the
same issue so I wanted to try and save my problem and help everybody else and
now I have like literally over a hundred of these things down in my basement so
they're available for sale if you're getting started and you need sheets this
is a great way to go if you've got sheets that are older they're not white
these are great replacements and between the stain durability the fast dry the
comfort and all the other things that we talked about you're doing great things
for your guests and for your Airbnb business and you're saving money
why put money in like the utilities pockets why like pollute the environment
