@Josh1450,
There are many hosts who don't agree with me, but I believe that checkout instructions should be reflective of the type and location of the rental, price point, and duration of stay.
We have in the listing description, house rules and greeting message that guests are expected to clean up after themselves during their stay. We don't charge a cleaning fee, and provide all of the cleaning utensils and products for them to use.
At checkout we do ask our guests to remove food and liquids from dishes and cookware, and put their hand washed dishes in the dish rack, or leave the unwashed dishes in the dishwasher. We clean everything after each stay, but we are don't want to attract bugs and vermin before we can start the turnover.
We ask guests to dispose of their rubbish in the kitchen and bathroom bins. If the guest had a long-term stay, we ask them to place their rubbish in the outdoor bin, because they tend to have a several bags to dispose.
We ask guests not to remove bed linen and to leave their used towels hanging on the bathroom racks/hooks. We want to inspect for stain and damage, or prevent a mildew smell with wet items left in a closed washer.
We do ask them to turn off the AC/heater, but have installed thermostats that we can control remotely.
