Efficiently changing linens and making beds during routine cleaning involves using the right tools and techniques. Tools like flat sheets, fitted sheets, pillowcases, and duvet covers are essential. Techniques such as the hospital corner method for tucking sheets and layering for bedspread and duvet alignment can save time and improve the presentation. Using a structured process, like removing old linens, smoothing out the mattress, and then applying new linens from top to bottom, ensures a clean and efficient bed-making process.
