Spanish term or phrase: hoja de lavandería
This is from a Spanish hotel's list of services. The client wants UK English and they want it user friendly.

Toda la información acerca de este servicio, la puede encontrar en la hoja de lavandería situada en su habitación.

I know what they mean I just can't find a good version in English. I think they are just talking about a printed sheet of paper outlining the details of laundry service. In other words it's not a page in the guests services manual. What would we call this? Laundry services sheet? Thanks everyone for your help in advance.

Laundry Services Form
Explanation:
Your idea sounds OK to me, but as "sheet" is something that can be washed and is found in a hotel room, it might cause some confusion. Perhaps you could call it a "Laundry Services Form"

In the end this answer turned out to be the best because there was a section of the form where you had to fill in how many garments you wanted cleaned etc. Thanks!

neutral  David Ronder: My problem with this is that a form is something you fill in, whereas the "hoja" appears to be just a kind of price list of services.
15 mins
neutral  Carol Gullidge: same qualms re "form" as David: it's something to be filled in when you require the service rather than an information sheet
22 mins
agree  Letredenoblesse: some filling or ticking one has to do on such forms: I worked in hotels and the last one offered a combined price list/form format
1 hr
disagree  James A. Walsh: It says "sheet" not "form". I don't think "laundry sheet" is ambiguous at all. It clearly states that it's a "service", which I don't think any sane person would confuse with bed linen.

As there seems to be an issue of ambiguity here with 'laundry sheet', I think your suggestion of 'laundry service(s) sheet' is fine.

  -> Hmm, then maybe laundry SERVICES sheet would be clearer.

  -> Cheers, James :) I myself wouldn´t confuse it for the sheets on my bed anyway, which is just a 'sheet'. I've never seen or heard it called a 'laundry sheet'.

neutral  Lisa McCarthy: Hi Rick, it doesn´t mention anything about dry cleaning, which is 'limpieza/lavado en seca'.
23 hrs
  -> This is, of course, quite true, Lisa. Yet, most hotel laundry lists have a dry cleaning option. Depends on the no. of stars, I suppose.
agree  Isamar: I'd leave 'guest' off because if it's in the room, it's obviously for the guests. Also, any instructions are included on this list.
