We don't get many guests. If somehow the cover is off, then I re-wash the sheets before guests come. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-a-guest-bed#post-730546 Fri, 19 Apr 2013 20:21:03 +0000 pinkcupcake 730546@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I also wash immediately after a guest leaves and then I leave them on until the next guest arrives. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-a-guest-bed#post-730537 Fri, 19 Apr 2013 20:15:45 +0000 boiledpnut 730537@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I take the sheets off and pile them on the floor. Then I'll wash them right before someone comes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-a-guest-bed#post-730525 Fri, 19 Apr 2013 20:11:56 +0000 Mrs. Champagne 730525@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I usually make the bed after the guest leaves, and then wash them before a new guest comes. Sometimes it's my mom coming two times i a row for 1 or 2 night so I don't wash them in between. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-a-guest-bed#post-730521 Fri, 19 Apr 2013 20:08:57 +0000 heffalump 730521@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have a guest futon. So when people leave we take the sheets off and turn it into a couch. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-a-guest-bed#post-730479 Fri, 19 Apr 2013 19:48:55 +0000 Running Elley 730479@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MsLipGloss: Haha maybe! It's a privilege for not bringing the shame of being a spinster on the family? Lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-a-guest-bed#post-730437 Fri, 19 Apr 2013 19:39:51 +0000 MsLipGloss 730437@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Foodnerd81: @Running Elley: Lol @ DA! I wonder why married woman get BIB? Maybe because it is assumed they *worked hard* all night and they couldn't possibly have the strength to come down for breakfast? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-a-guest-bed#post-730408 Fri, 19 Apr 2013 19:32:05 +0000 mamabolt 730408@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I usually strip the bed right after they leave and make it up again then. Right now there's no sheets on it though, MIL put the quilt back on after she stripped the bed and I never remade it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-a-guest-bed#post-730359 Fri, 19 Apr 2013 19:10:21 +0000 Smurfette 730359@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Change them when someone leaves and leave them there till the next guest is there. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-a-guest-bed#post-730302 Fri, 19 Apr 2013 18:52:04 +0000 wheres_c 730302@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was them after, then remake the bed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-a-guest-bed#post-730299 Fri, 19 Apr 2013 18:50:44 +0000 fussygal 730299@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I do the same as @Running Elley! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-a-guest-bed#post-730288 Fri, 19 Apr 2013 18:38:40 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 730288@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I usually wash them before and after. We have guests at least every three months for a couple nights. I like to keep the bed made when no one is here and sometimes the dogs jump on it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-a-guest-bed#post-730266 Fri, 19 Apr 2013 18:29:40 +0000 Foodnerd81 730266@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs.Someone: I thought about that too. Might be the best way to go. (just putting the comforter over it until someone comes.) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-a-guest-bed#post-730219 Fri, 19 Apr 2013 17:53:27 +0000 CupQuakeWalk 730219@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Raindrop: same!<br /> It's so rare that we have an over-mightier, so I leave everything as it is....and then, if someone is coming, I'll go in there the night before and strip the bed, vacuum...all that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-a-guest-bed#post-730218 Fri, 19 Apr 2013 17:53:22 +0000 Mrs.Someone 730218@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We only have an air mattress, but if we had a bed all the time I'd probably wash after someone was there. Alternately, you can just not put the sheets back on the bed until someone is coming? So comforter only to make it look nice. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-a-guest-bed#post-730217 Fri, 19 Apr 2013 17:53:10 +0000 shopaholic 730217@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wash after guest leaves and also before a guest comes if they have been on there for awhile (like a month). IDK though now that the baby is here. DH's parents have been the only ones staying with us on &amp; off and they wash it themselves now! I haven't washed them in between since they're the same people coming every other week! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-a-guest-bed#post-730216 Fri, 19 Apr 2013 17:52:02 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 730216@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We put clean sheets on and leave them on until a guest sleeps in there and then we change the bed ready for another eventual guest. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-a-guest-bed#post-730205 Fri, 19 Apr 2013 17:41:42 +0000 Raindrop 730205@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Haha I use to wash them before and after a guest stays at our place but I have gotten lazy since we had our baby and figured that having fresh sheets was better than stale sheets, so now I only change/wash them right before guest comes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-a-guest-bed#post-730204 Fri, 19 Apr 2013 17:41:28 +0000 Running Elley 730204@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Foodnerd81: Wouldn't that be lovely??? I love that all the married women get breakfast in bed in DA. That's something I think should be implemented everywhere in my opinion! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-a-guest-bed#post-730202 Fri, 19 Apr 2013 17:39:19 +0000 Foodnerd81 730202@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Running Elley: Not only Mrs. Hughes, but a chamber maid to change said sheets. And a proper ladies maid to dress me and brush my hair and bring my breakfast in bed-- I am a married woman after all!</p> <p>And thanks-- that's what I thought. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-a-guest-bed#post-730199 Fri, 19 Apr 2013 17:37:43 +0000 Running Elley 730199@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Foodnerd81: LOL if only you had Mrs. Hughes to give you the proper etiquette ;)</p> <p>I change them right after a guest leaves and they stay on until the next guest comes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-a-guest-bed#post-730195 Fri, 19 Apr 2013 17:35:38 +0000 Foodnerd81 730195@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Do you put fresh sheets on it when guests are coming? Or just put clean sheets after someone leaves and leave them on there until the next guest comes, even if it means they will be on there for a while? </p> <p>I've never had a guest room before (and I won't for long-- it's the baby's room when it's born, but we have a queen bed in there). It's not gross to have sheets on there for a month or so, unused, and then have someone sleep in them, right? </p> <p>Also what do I think this is, Downton Abbey? </p>
