I have read most of the comments. It is good to read something like this because it is nice to see what is expected of people. I do have one or two objections though, in other words, the things that I will not do and the things that I will not do.

@Margo10825. You seemed to be upset because someone brought gloves. I have very veiny and dry hands so I have to use gloves all the time. I use gloves for the bath, cleaning, etc., and I use gloves for the dishes; different colours so they never get mixed up. I stayed at a friend's house and she seemed upset that I was washing the dishes with gloves. She said that she works hard and does not have a problem with her hands. Well, I have to use a lot of creams for mine to look half decent, so I will really have to upset people with this because my hands looks dry, old and wringled when I do not look after them.

I did notice that I had guests from the States and they stripped the bed. I was very upset about it. I am from a country where we don't do that, and it was very annoying to me. We make the bed up as we met it and the host/hostess will remove the sheets when they are ready. I found my room looked very untidy with the matress showing. I once visited a relative with a cousin in the States and she ran and stripped my bed and removed the wet towels from the bath that I was leaving to dry. She asked me if I was not going to strip the bed. I told her that I was not brought up to do that. Now, the room looked untidy and the wet towels had to sit in the laundy room until the host was ready to wash them. I would prefer as a hostess to remove the sheets when I am ready to do so and to remove the towels when they are dry because I might take a few days before washing them. On no occasion would I go to someone's house and wash their linen. I do most of the things that the writer says but I don't like taking over people's home.
