[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I host a lot but make things clear for the guest.  I tell them either just leave the sheets and towels in front of the washer or throw the towels in the washer and the sheets on the floor.

We don't allow food all over our house.  Inhare cleaning sticky messes outside of the kitchen nut inevitably I have a guest that let's their kid eat gogurt  in a bedroom or living room.  I sigh and clean it up.

You need to treat your wood furniture if you don't want people leaving sweat stains.  I put a glass cover on a lot of my wood furniture for this reason.  No one uses coasters.  [/quote]

Glass covers  look cheap and are cheesy! Do you also put plastic over your sofas?[/quote]

NP. Glass "covers" in my house mean custom cut glass tops that fit the couple of end tables, like the handmade inlaid  wood table a relative made.

Nothing cheap about that glass at all, PP, and sure as hell not as "cheesy" as wet rings on a wood table we love. Plus: Reduced stress, since it's a pain to have to ensure guests are using coasters on a wood tabletop.

And no, we don't put plastic over the sofas. But if you think glass is cheap and cheesy, you don't know what you're talking about. [/quote]

Interesting. I’ve only seen this at hotels and museums. Why not if it gives you peace of mind?[/quote]

Agree, why not, if you want?

I'm the PP to whom you're responding. Where I grew up, it was common for people to have glass covers cut to fit some furniture like heirloom tables, or new tables they wanted to protect. Some snooty PP thinks it's "cheesy" to do this and where I come from it would be thought careless [i]not[/i] to do it. It's silly for the "cheesy" PP to think his or her experience and taste are the only experience and taste that matter. [/quote]
