While staying at
hotels
, perhaps some guests still carry their habits with them at home.Leaving your room tidy before leaving has become a daily habit at home, but when you’re at a hotel you don’t need to do this.
Guest habits are different when staying at a hotel.There are those who are ‘itchy’ and want to make their bed before checking out, but there are also those who just leave it like that.Which should be done?
It turns out that this good habit of making your bed is not entirely correct when staying at a hotel.It doesn’t matter if the mattress isn’t made, it’s actually better for guests to leave the room with a messy bed.

This was expressed by a former hotel cleaner, who emphasized that guests should leave their beds in a messy condition when they want to

, as reported

Even though his intentions are good, namely to make the work of the cleaners easier (
housekeeping
), but making the mattress is an action that guests do not need to do.
Instead of helping the staff’s work, according to him, this action actually makes housekeeping’s work even harder.
Why is that?Because if the condition is messy, it will be easier for housekeeping staff to detect items on the mattress that have been used.
When the bed is messy, it will be easier for the staff to pull and lift the sheets and pillowcases to be replaced.If the condition of the bed is still tidy, the officers will be confused about whether to replace it or not.
The reason is, this messy condition indicates that the sheets and pillowcases have been used, so they need to be replaced.Meanwhile, if it is in a neat condition, there is a possibility that housekeeping will not replace it with a new one.
“If you’ve slept in bed, there’s no need to make it up when you leave. Because, if we think you haven’t used the bed at all, we can’t change the sheets. So, you should just leave the bed in a condition that looks like it’s been slept in,” explained the former hotel room cleaner in Australia.
Plus, cleaning workers don’t have much time to clean one room, usually their work must be finished in 30 minutes per room.When you see the condition of the room, especially the neat bed, housekeeping staff usually don’t replace it with a clean one.
“On busy days, the staff will only fluff the pillows and reuse the same sheets, only changing the sheets every three to four days,” said Soprano Villas and Rome Lofts Manager, Flavio Serreti, as quoted

.
Serreti also added that some hotels object to the inflated costs of washing sheets if done every day.So to ensure they replace the sheets with new ones, it’s better for guests to leave them messy.
For guests who still want to make housekeeping work easier, they can help by collecting towels, sheets, pillowcases and blankets.After that, pile everything on the floor so that the cleaning staff can carry it at once when cleaning up the room.
