Here's this week's question of the week!

When staying at someone's house as a guest, how much do you "clean up" before you leave?    totally clean up since I was the one making the mess. ;O)

Do you make the bed?    Well no,,, I do pull the sheets off and fold them and put them at the bottom of the bed. I really assume that no one else would be sleeping on sheets that I'v e slept on..

Do you pull the sheets off?   see above

Take out your trash?   maybe,,, don't think I'd have so much trash....

Does it depend on the person you're staying with?   I'd definitely try to be helpful without overstepping,,, but I would ONLY be staying with a very very close friend to begin with so I'm sure any help I offered would be accepted as help

Anything to add?  I don't like staying at people's homes,, I just always check in a hotel.. even when visiting family or close friends, I've never really stayed with anyone ,, actually because I'm with dh and he definitely isn't a "let's crash at so and so 's house" type of guy. LOL

When staying at someone's house as a guest, how much do you "clean up" before you leave? Usually, what I can...

Do you make the bed? I do to make me feel good.

Do you pull the sheets off?  Of course (it's laundry day!)

Take out your trash? Mine, yes.

Does it depend on the person you're staying with? yes

Anything to add? I'll stay if I'm paying!

When staying at someone's house as a guest, how much do you "clean up" before you leave?

Always- I have two young kids and, if I didn't clean up some, the hosts would never ask us back!  :P

Do you make the bed?

I'll pull the covers up, but I don't "make" it.

Do you pull the sheets off?

Usually not, but I will if they ask me to (and they never do!).

Take out your trash?

If it's full.  If it's only half-full, then nope.

Does it depend on the person you're staying with?

Definitely.  If it's someone I don't know very well, then I'm on my best behavior.  ;)

When staying at someone's house as a guest, how much do you "clean up" before you leave? I try to leave everything just as I left it, if possible.

Do you make the bed? If that's what the hostess wants.

Do you pull the sheets off?  If that's what the hostess wants.

Take out your trash?  Nope, never done this.

Does it depend on the person you're staying with? Yes, usually depends.  Generally if we stay at a friend's house I'll just ask what she prefers me to do.
