Hi @Christopher-And-Nghia0, very interesting discussion. I also went to the POLL to look up the former thread.
I think I am in the 'keep it all in one fee' camp. Tempting to add on cleaning... I have a housekeeper who has been with me for many years, but of course guests add to the regular schedule. @Susie5 made the point that if you have a cleaning fee, there is an assumption that you take cleaning seriously. Good point.
It seems that to whatever degree you want your guests to tidy up after themselves (huge variable), to what degree you are able to establish trust/respect with your guests (another huge variable)... seems like a cleaning fee is a tiny insurance policy.
Annnnd to what extent this kind of thing aggravates you. My housekeeper is not full-time at all, but I would rather clean up the kitchen/bathroom/laundry myself than have them misplacing things, breaking things... just awkwardness. A very good friend of mine was recently in my home... super smart, well-educated, M.D. Used the restroom. Toilet seat left up (for me, a toilet, when not in use, is a chair; when in use, it is part of the sewer system, no matter how clean it is.) The faucet and handle (mine are sculptural elements, not knobs and spigots) were left absolutely out of alignment. It's not just ignorant strangers; not everyone has your personal level... of anything! (Haha... next time, I'll ask to see her ID!) ;-)))) KIDDING!
