Guests leaving bathroom messy

[BigDahliaFan]

How clean would you leave the bathroom as a guest? Couple in their 30s stayed over for a week, sole use of bathroom. There are hairs in the sink, make up and toothpaste in the sink. I'd have rinsed the sink at least. I'm not expecting a deep clean but that seems pretty basic to me.

I would have left it clean, could not have left it a mess.

Clean You're in someone's home
Thinking about it I try and leave hotel bathroom clean.

I wouldn't leave the sink like that, no. It only takes a few seconds to rinse down.

I couldn't get worked up about guests leaving toothpaste in the sink either though, because it only takes a few seconds to rinse down.

It's not like it's particularly disgusting or that they've damaged something.

I'd never leave a mess but my lovely friend just about floods my bathroom whenever she uses it. Water all over the blinds & everything. She's totally oblivious I think & not the tidiest at the best of times.

Yeah I'm not worked up about it, just thinking messy buggers.but I'd have cleaned the sink....

Had this last week and wretched at the toothpaste and spit coating the plug! Vile! I would always rinse and wipe down any bathroom area I used as a guest. People are gross!!!

I would strive for spotless.

Did you leave cleaning products out for them to use?

You don’t need cleaning products to rub a bit of hand soap around the basin, plug and tap and give it a rinse. It’s common courtesy after each use in your own home let alone host’s.

in laws do this. Leave tooth paste spit on sink and floor and hairs everywhere etc.
When we stay at theirs we clean fully after each stay, as I would anywhere.

It was only a question… 😂

Depends if there were any cleaning products to hand, if I could then I would leave it clean. Even so I always rinse the sink out. Dh on the other hand not so much!

I don't even leave a bathroom in a hotel room like that. It's just rude and disrespectful. If I was staying in friends or families house, I'd ask for cleaning stuff and give the bathroom a clean when we were leaving. Strip the bed and give them it to throw in the wash if they were happy for me to and hoover and polish the bedroom. It's not a hotel.

Week's stay went fine. Busy though and I could do with a weekend off now ....but not really getting one.... I like visitors but it's a busy enough time of year without adding visitors in too....

They rarely hoover and polish their own house soo wasn't expecting that. And wouldn't of any guest! Though I'm grateful if someone strips the bed.

But rinsing the sink....yes. I do that as a matter of course. There was a cloth and spray in the cupboard. But just looking for a rinse really!

Not related but sort of an in law connection. We are old enough to be their parents. They've stayed before a few times. Neither of them are known for their house proudness! And I honestly can't remember how they left if before. So either they left it tidy or I'm being more sensitive....

In-laws coming today just for lunch for a few hours but in that time they will destroy my downstairs loo. I don’t know how they manage it - water and soap everywhere, all over the floor and then all trodden in and water feet marks everywhere (they fetch their slippers 🙄). I’m talking unbelievable amounts of water splashed everywhere - genuinely, honestly do not know what they do in there - my 2 year old makes way less mess when he washes his hands 🤷‍♀️

I would think less of any guest who left a mess
They wouldn't get asked back a second time.
To go into someone's home and not respect it is a sign of contempt for their host.

Hoovering and polishing?! 😂That's a bit OTT as a guest and bordering on rude if you expect the same of your guests. Do you stay in people's houses often?

OP is this your adult child and their partner? I think many of us revert to the teen years in one way or another when we go back to our childhood homes. They're probably more considerate in other homes.

ETA never mind, just saw your post! I do know my housekeeping standards were much lower pre kids.

I think it is really bad to leave a bathroom in a state. My husband and I wouldn’t leave it in a mess for the other.

I always swish round the sink when I use any bathroom.
Takes seconds.
