Find it annoying when guests strip bed!

But surely if you had the choice you would nap in your own bed? The op is bypassing her own bed to sleep in the spare bed and it's that which is weird imo

I hate it because it immediately gives me more washing to do.

i’d rather they left it on, and let me wait until I have done my priority laundry and it’s a good dry day for sheets!

I’ve never had a guest strip the bed before leaving and I’ve never done it if I’ve stayed somewhere. I’d be a bit baffled if a guest left and I found the bed stripped! I personally find that a really strange thing to do.

Yes. Or the people who aren’t going to wash the bedlinen for a few days, but somehow cannot abide the look of an unmade bed, but are somehow unable to remake the bed with different linen if it’s that unbearable.

Napping in a bed that your sister has slept in for one night is totally normal! My sister (pre husband) used to sleep in my bed with me when she came to stay. She's my sister ffs, we shared a room growing up. I don't feel the urge to wash everything she's touched as soon as she leaves.

It’s the sweat!!! And discharge! and… ugh! What if they’ve had sex?

People honestly find it "so disgusting" to sleep in a bed after someone they know well had been in it for a few nights? It's her sister. I'd sleep in a bed after my sister. I'd sleep in a bed with my sister. Or my parents. Or a good friend. If they'd been sleeping in it for weeks on end then no I'd rather not.
Obviously I wouldn't want to stay in a hotel room where the sheets haven't been changed because I don't know who's been in there or what they've been doing. But my sister who kipped over for a night or two I honestly wouldn't even think twice about it. I might just turn the pillow over on case she'd drooled on it.
There's a huge difference between a stranger and a family member/ friend.

I just tell my guests not to and I love it when they leave the bed as well made as when they arrived, even if I do then strip the beds anyway.

People do it maybe because they’ve stained it?

If I knew that they were clean it honestly wouldn’t bother me.
I’m also not going to be sleeping in the sheets as my guests? I’d wash the sheets when I have another guest stay over but I wouldn’t want to wash sheets that I’d only washed a couple of days ago.

Oh no I can’t leave the bedsheets on, what if I made it dirty and don’t want them to see 🤢let alone nap on.

I absolutely can’t share bedsheets!

The last time my mum stayed she stripped the bed and put the bedding in the washing machine and I was inwardly annoyed because I had no intention of washing them right that day...

She was trying to be helpful though so I didn't say anything.

I would much rather you told me so that I could spot treat any stains. That's another reason I don't like guests stripping the bed.

It annoys me because it creates a pile of laundry that has to be dealt with now rather than my convenience. The spare bedroom looks messy until it's done. As PP says the fresh sheets might not be needed for a while.

I always just thought it was manners so the host wouldn't have to deal with your dirty sheets as much! I think if you didn't more people would say 'they didn't even strip the sheets!

😂

Yeah I once had a guest strip the bed and the linens were just screwed up on the floor & looked like they’d been trodden on. It really disturbed me it was so weird !!

I voted YABU as guests are only doing it to be kind….BUT… I too find it annoying when guests (such as my adult stepson- who is lovely btw) strip the bed after staying for one night when they’re most likely going to be the next person to sleep in it anyway.
A total waste of their effort and mine.

I’d rather if people asked but it’s coming from a helpful place even if it’s not always well thought out.

So you’d be happy to go to a hotel and sleep between the same sheets as the previous guest ??

I’m sorry you have lost me. What does it matter if you wash them a day or a week later if no one else is sleeping in them in between time then? It’s still the same amount of water used. You’re not more eco friendly if you wait a week.

Nope. Just nap in your own bed ffs

No I would wash sheets before another guest stayed but don’t feel the need for them to be in the wash 0.2 seconds after someone has left my house!

When I stay with either of my parents I always ask them if they want me to strip the beds as they are older and i do other things for them around the house from time to time including hanging out washing etc. They usually say no. I always say no if someone asks me. I would never offer at anyone elses house - it feels really rude, like you're telling them to do housework. I'd find it really weird if a guest took all the bedsheets off... and then what? Leave them in a messy pile? Bring them downstairs and give them to me? Maybe I don't want to wash sheets today and would rather just leave the spare room as it is?

eugh? Seriously? You just leave used sheets on the bed for someone else to use?

No wonder we have environmental issues when people are so neurotic they wash sheets after ONE night of use after (presumably) clean family or friend. Bonkers
