Do you leave a tip for hotel housekeeping?

I leave a tip in all hotels except in Australia.

Sometimes I get a thank you card, other times nothing. I don't want anything in return, except a clean room and it's going to be cleaned the same regardless of tip, and the same person won't be cleaning it every day anyway.

A few hotels in the Dolomites recently, I left tips on the pillow and they didn't take it. So I then left a note, and they still didn't take it.
