It is a standard procedure to clean these rooms before trying to clean stay rooms that do not display this sign. You should monitor use of rooms that are shown on your list as “Vacant”. If you see guests using these rooms, then the relevant internal procedure must be followed. These may include notifying the Floor Housekeeper or Head Housekeeper, notifying Reception or the Security.
