Look, enjoy your rant. You are complaining about something you really don’t understand and are also blowing out of proportion. A 3 bedroom condo that sleeps 7-10 people likely has 4 if not 5-6 loads of laundry for a normal machine. 1-2 loads of towels and 2-3 loads of sheets depending on how many it sleeps.

Again, I own a vacation rental. I also stay in them 3-4 times a year. I just stayed in one for a week in park city during spring break.

Cleaning a condo is a lot more than running one load of dishes and washing one set of sheets, at least for a multi family condo that most here are discussing.

Laundry is anywhere from 85 cents to $2/ lb to wash and fold. Assume about 15 lbs of laundry per bedroom, so $45 here.

You have amenities like soaps, shampoo, etc. again, that’s $10-20/ bedroom.

You didn’t mop the floor. You aren’t cleaning the windows. You aren’t cleaning the toilets, tubs, sinks.

I don’t disagree it’s expensive. It is. None of these costs are going away in America due to the cost of consumer goods and labor.
