Taking a Shower at an Airbnb: Not For Long

Ever heard the phrase “water, water everywhere and not a drop to drink”? Me neither... But for some Airbnb owners, that phrase hits close to home (no pun intended) —especially when it comes to showering. In an effort to cut down on their water costs and their cleaning costs, some Airbnb owners are cracking down on how much time people are taking in the shower, how much cologne or perfume they’re wearing, and other hygiene-related activities. No... I'm not kidding.

Water is one of the biggest expenses for many businesses. As such, some Airbnb owners are looking for ways to reduce their water usage while still providing guests with a comfortable stay. Just not a clean stay. One way they’re doing this is by asking guests to limit their showers and be mindful of how much body spray or cologne they wear after getting out of the shower.

Some Airbnb owners are also trying to cut back on what they spend on post-guest cleanings. This means that if guests leave behind stains from using too much hair product or body lotion in the shower, or if there are noticeable scents from using too much perfume or cologne after taking a shower, then those things will be taken into consideration when it comes time for the guest’s damage deposit return period.

How can you avoid these fees - you may ask? You can be dirty.. but also clean. Or you can stay at the Motel 6 - They'll leave the light on and you can also take a long shower. ;)

Another day older, and another week wiser on Aimee+Shawn this week. It began with Shawn turning the tender age of 39. Aimee had the day off (celebrating Shawn's birthday, one can assume)... but young Sammi from the afternoon show was there to make him feel even older.

Shawn brought his dog to the vet for a $400 dental cleaning. So why did he walk out with a $2700 bill?! Did Shawn get screwed?

When Aimee came back on Tuesday, we got a breakthrough. Her son pretty clearly does not want to be associated with her on the internet for the sheer embarrassment of it all. But he has started to teach his mother TikTok dances. Is it going well? Not quite... but it's bonding time!

Valentine's Day brought gift bags to the Tempesta residence. One parent thought it was a good idea to add confetti to theirs. Shawn wants them thrown in prison. They discuss gift etiquette and the whole concept of everyone getting a gift for everything in the first place.

Aimee, somehow, got lost going to the Sahara. When she got there, she took in Magic Mike Live with her mom... who had to use her safe word. Several times.

This week brought a new term to the show: "playing it forward". This is when a listener calls and tries to win tickets for another listener who is having a really tough time winning games on the show. First it was Courtney who "played it forward" to win tickets for Buckeye Bob in Radio Roulette... then Katrina took on Google Predicts to win tickets for Sandra! How can you not love these listeners?!

Finally, Aimee took on Presidential trivia with disastrous results.

The show returns Tuesday (thanks President's Day!) with tickets to see Maroon 5 at Dolby Live at Park MGM! Enjoy the weekend, and see you then!

It is Shawn's least favorite day of the year: his birthday. From the chain restaurant songs to burdening people with their needing to remember the day he was born... he's just not that into it.

Sure she was pregnant, but this is the Super Bowl. What'd YOU think of her Halftime Show performance?

A "quick" trip to CVS turned into a longer affair as he waited for someone with a key to give him access to...soap.

A simple dental cleaning turned into a nearly $3,000 visit! How?! Why?! And does your vet tell you what they told Russ The Driver (to not get your dog's teeth cleaned yearly)?

We've been to the pricey weddings and we've been to the cheap ones. Which ones do we enjoy more?

Sure, he is pretending he doesn't know her on social media... but Jayden is trying to get his mom cool enough to show to his friends. So far... it's not going well.

Shawn has had it with the undeclared Pinterest war of moms that is going on at every birthday party, classroom and football field in Las Vegas right now.

Thank God Aimee and Shawn aren't "together", because if they were there would never be a hung or folded piece of clothing again.

It quite literally has its own street. It is next to the tallest landmark in the valley. HOW do you miss it by a couple miles?!

Once Aimee and her mom DID make it to Sahara... it was a party at MML! Until mom was getting pulled on-stage.

This is the 10 year anniversary of Shawn speaking up for himself and getting a company to open their wallet to the tune of thousands of dollars after broken promises left him in a precarious situation.

It's evident that Don hasn't spoken to women before, because if he had he know this was a TERRIBLE conversation to have.

This marks TWICE this week that a listener has called to win another listener tickets to a show. Man, we love our people!

Back in 1994, "Today" famously had no idea what the Internet was. Aimee+Shawn wonder what their moment of embarrassment will be in a decade...

Both Aimee and Shawn wrote to celebrities they were fans of. While Aimee loved Oprah, Shawn loved Nancy Kerrigan.

Can Aimee answer any questions correctly about United States Presidents before we head off for a three day President's Day weekend?
