Do you mark bedding?
Do you mark bedding?
One of those probably daft questions.
If your bedding and towels are serviced for you then have you stamped/labelled them? I've a stamp I use for my daughters uniform and I wondered about getting one for our apartment.

When I used to run a large cottage our laundry people marked all our white bed linen by writing the cottage name in black marker pen on the inside! They didn't check with us first and to be honest it was a bit unsightly, although it was where most people shouldn't see it. It might be worth checking with your service provider to see what they do - it's probably preferable for you to mark them yourself in your preferred way than leave it to them.
I have sew in labels (the sort you use for labelling children's clothes etc.) and put them in a discreet place. I label everything which would go to the laundry service (duvet covers, sheets). All my white pillowcases are labelled because they can easily get muddled with my own.
I label towels and kitchen linen - just in case a guest is in doubt. I have had husbands enthusiastically packing such things not realising they weren't theirs!

+1 for the labels. We bought our from wovenlabels in the UK for delivery to France.Aldo wrote:I get some woven labels from jjcash.co.uk for that purpose. I tag pretty much everything with them and it makes it look rather professional.
Bit of a winter job though sewing them all in. We use coloured thread to designate differences. eg red cotton for single sheets and green for double so helps with identification as well
We do our own laundry now but still keep the labels anyway just in case.
Thanks for your replies.
I do prefer the look of the sewn ones but i've rotator cuff disorder and the worst thing possible for the shoulders is hand sewing. Since my dodgy joints has meant my husband doing pretty much everything doing up the apartment, I'm not going to ask him to sew 100's of labels so a stamp it is.
For anyone interested the stamps from stamptastic are brilliant and the ink lasts and lasts.
