[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have learned that everyone has super different ideas of what is and is not appropriate. I’m from the Uk where it’s a given that you strip your bed after you stay somewhere so the host can easily wash your sheets. Virtually none of my us guests do this which are first I thought was beyond rude but now I understand it’s just a cultural difference [/quote]

In my view, it is extremely rude to strip beds without ***asking the host first.***

When you politely ASK what would be helpful to your host and then LISTEN to the answer, you may learn that some do indeed prefer for the beds to be stripped, and some prefer that you just leave it as-is (but I always neatly make the bed and make sure the room is tidy).

They may have a laundry schedule you don’t know about, or a cleaning service coming on a day you don’t know about, it. They may prefer to have one day of guests being gone to relax before they tackle chores.

ASSuming is rude. ASKING is polite.[/quote]

+1, my mom just wants guests to leave the sheets on the beds. She hates having a giant pile of laundry after guests leave. She just works her way around, washing the sheets when she is ready to. [/quote]

Stripping the bed doesn't mean that the laundry must be washed urgently  [/quote]

Yeah I don’t get that comment either.[/quote]
