@Bryan-and-Corey0 I think your request are too much to expect:
We as hosts hope, pray and expect guests will not be slobs -
we hope they will:
atleast put trash in the waste can - (some just drop stuff on the floor)
if dishwasher, put dishes in it
wipe up their spills
HOWEVER, many don't use waste can, wipe up, or do dishes - they just don't.
And I think there is a group that think Cleaning fee - I paid for this service --- they are still slobs in my mind.
Folks are away from their home and paying and I think they do not wish to pay a cleaning fee and then receive a list of clean up just before they go. I think the cleaning fee is about cleaning up the linens, bed, towels - floors- dishes, trash.
Some people hate to be told what they MUST do and many will never follow instructions! on purpose, like:
strip bed & towels - load into washer/wash
load dishwasher
take trash out
Guess I look at things different than many hosts - what I hope for is that they DO NOT leave blood and body fluid stains all over the bedding (those that strip and fold the linen, have ALWAYS had stains at my cottage - in about 85 guests about 7 left stains - 1 guest left bedding so bad it had to be trashed, (claim $$) ALL bedding (except the pillows) I was so glad to have mattress protection - NOW I USE 2 MATTRESS PROTECTORS AT ALL TIMES on the tempurpedic bed.
Some people are embarrassed by this sometimes and try and hide it - others do not care, or just go mute.
So if the bedding is left in good shape - I am a happy host and can handle the rest. good luck and happy hosting, Clara
