Do You Wash Bedding Or Send It Home ?

[MarinaVanessa]

I provide the mats and blankets so I wash them. I had blankets made to match the cubby colors that we have so the kids know which one is theirs. I wash them weekly or sooner if needed. I stopped asking the parents to provide stuff like this because the less they need to bring, the less they forget to bring .

Parents provide them and wash them, always bring them back on Mondays, in a rare case they forget I will provide one for one day and they will bring theirs the next day. have not ever had a problem with this and would never want to do the extra laundry.

When I opened, they provided them and washed them. I began to wonder if some of them were truly washed ...

So, I began provided a crib sheet and fleece blanket (I have a rainbow of colors cut from fleece fabric) for each cot. The kids now call Friday "wash day" because they make a pile of crib sheets and a pile of fleece blankets for me to wash. It isn't too difficult for me and at least I know they're being washed!

Yep! I have cots and they love taking the sheets off and putting them by the laundry room door! I provide and wash. I have had a few kids that have brought blankets from home, I just tell mom/dad it has to be one that stays here. No back and forth.

I wash it on Fridays because I provide all bedding. I would hate to send it home and not get it back

Exactly!

I provide sheets, each child has their own set they use all week and then Friday it goes in the wash!

I ask parents to bring a blanket, and the few that actually do take it home every Friday and bring a clean one back Monday. If they don't bring one then I provide one and its washed the same as the sheets

The sleeping mats are covered with an oversized pillowcase that is provided by my center, so I wash them every week. However, I have some parents with bad memories so if they took the DCKs blankets home, they would never come back. For those DCKs I wash their blankets. It's not a big deal for me because I put them in the wash with the sheets.

I provide everything and wash it weekly for everyone on cots. I was the sheets or change them daily for toddlers. With slob and snot and all the other stuff I just feel better, even though they use the same set all the time.

I require parents to bring a blanket upon enrollment, that STAYS here as long as the child is enrolled. I wash them all every Friday afternoon.

I am sad to say that I have kids here who's parents don't seem to know what a washing machine is or what the word "clean".........even means.

I provide and wash all linen on Friday. If any linen gets soiled I wash it right then and there.
