Ironing

Ironing is pressing creases out of fabric, most relevant for a short let in the bed linen and any tablecloths or curtains a guest might actually notice.

Why AutomateBnB does not iron as standard

A turnover swaps the linen for a fresh set within a fixed time window, and ironing every sheet and pillowcase does not fit inside that window on a normal booking. Good-quality linen sets, especially ones with a slight texture, hide creases well enough that most guests never notice the difference.

When it actually matters

A crisp, hotel-style finish matters more for a premium listing competing on presentation photos than for a standard short let. A host who wants that finish can arrange it separately from the regular turnover, rather than expecting it as a default.

Conclusion

Ironing is not part of a standard turnover, but the linen swap that is part of every one solves most of the same problem.
