We always do - but mostly because its easier to identify anything I might be leaving in a clean room. The 5 minutes it takes me is totally worth it compared to the pain in the rear it is if I've left something.

I've paid for a hotel to ship me things at least twice, if not more.

@BakerBee: Same-- I'll pick up, throw stuff out, to make sure I'm not leaving anything behind. I don't make the bed or anything but I'll throw all the towels in the tub, etc. Otherwise it's too easy to leave something behind.

I don't usually make that much of a mess, once I take all of my stuff out.

i straighten up- towels piled in the bathroom, trash in the trash, but i don't make the bed or anything since it's just going to get stripped

Yup, and I also leave a good tip. My husband worked at a ranch one summer during college, and sometimes helped the cleaning staff with fixing up the rooms. It can be hard work and I figure it's pretty easy for me to neaten stuff up a bit before I go

Yes, I pick up even before our cleaning lady comes.

Yeah, I know the cleaning staff works super hard and I want to make it as easy as I can on them.

I always make a pile of towels and make sure all the trash is in the trash can. If there are room service dishes, I try to pile as much stuff as possible onto the tray so it's easier to clean up. I've never bothered to make the bed but i do throw all the pillows and blankets on it. I just don't feel right about leaving a mess.

Yes I do. I make sure trash is in the bin, I put used towels in the bathtub and it drives DH nuts as I will also make the bed! He says its just going to be unmade to be washed. But I also do it so I can see I don't leave anything behind. And I always get on my hands and knees and check under the bed before leaving to check I haven't left anything that might have fallen!

@snickers: me too! My husband makes fun of me for straightening out the bed- but we are notorious for kicking off socks, so I blame it on that... not my OCD

I don't go crazy, but I try to leave things tidy.
