Making up Bed Using Existing Linen

In this topic, we will discuss how to make the bed when the guest is staying over for another night.

It has become a trend these days that hotels do not replace beddings daily unless requested by the guest. You may have noticed signage of this in hotel rooms. Some establishments even have request cards to notify the Room Attendant that the guest wants his/her bedding to be changed. This is part of the hotel’s efforts to be more environmental friendly by saving water and using less cleaning materials.

The guest will have to place the request card on top of the bed, indicating that the he/she would like the bedding to be changed.

Otherwise, make up bed would be done using the existing sheets.

Guests, in general, do not expect their linen to be changed on a daily basis unless it has been stained.
