I was more concerned about my health than a few stained carpets or sheets! The tough part was we had relatively no work for our housekeeper. We kept encouraging him to go on unemployment, but you have to show you made a minimum amount the previous year and he just didn’t have the hours being PT. So, no unemployment $$ for him. He ended up doing a lot of odd jobs and taking care of an elderly family member.
Same here. I'd say 1 out of 10 use it.
We told them at check in and again at breakfast, it was also on the website when you made a reservation. ‘For your protection and ours, we will not be going in your room to clean. If you need anything, just ask.’
As an individual (me as a guest) I always preferred to find my stuff where I left it and not moved or disposed of, as an operator we have always asked for that reason, most guests chose the "leave me alone" option. As a tiny motel, our guests may be different. I take the position that I'm the motel maid and not "your mom", straightening an empty bed, easy enough, but for us it is often a group of 4, food, clothing, electronics, cover the bed and the floor, I wouldn't know where to start.
Guess who just read this and thought...ah, laminated note, great idea
. I've done the same, but not laminated. I've been printing and cutting out little quarter page sheets for a year,to leave in the guest's room. And have been frusterated that we need to change them after almost every guest. 
Laminated. Yes. Great thought!
