▶ Watch this episode

A lost TV remote or a missing garage door opener can turn a smooth check-in into an emergency trip. In this episode, we walk through the 12 things we keep in every Airbnb supply closet, and almost none of them are cleaning products.

We also share the simple formula we use for how many spare sheet sets each property needs.

  • Why we split the closet in 2: 1 locked, 1 open
  • The $30 lock that keeps backups out of guest hands
  • What to do before a guest drives off with your opener
  • The 9pm problems a stocked closet solves
  • How many sheet sets a 5-bedroom actually needs
