I always strip the bed. If its close family I'll usually even start them in the wash.

I used to just make the bed, but when we stayed with the inlaws, dh stripped the sheets and threw them on the floor.
When we visit my parents we just make the bed.

It depends on where I am. I either strip the sheets or make the bed.

I don't stay at anyone's house. I would much rather stay at a hotel then have to owe someone. But when I stay at my parents cabin I always strip the beds.

Did someone have relations in the bed? Cuz that would change my answer!

@mrbee: lol!!!
I usually make the bed - I figure if they want to wash the sheets, they can easily just strip them, but if not, then at least I've left the bed all made up.

@mrbee: HA! If that was the case I would definitely strip the bed.
Other-- I always ask. Most of the time they say not to strip it, so then I make it, but at least I ask, and sometimes they are about to start the load of laundry.
With my parents, I know they don't always change the sheets in between (it's only my older sister and me who ever stay in that bed) so then I always just make it.

If I'm at my mom's, I usually throw them in the wash. I try to run the vacuum before we leave too, because our basset sheds so badly!

Usually I am at my moms, so I make the bed because it will be me staying there again before anyone else usually.
I prefer my guests to leave the sheets on the bed, that way I don't have to do laundry right away, I just do it before my next guests come!

I make the bed, but it makes much more sense to strip it. I don't know why I don't.

I often make the bed, unless we are staying with family. If we are staying with friends and I ask them, they usually say to just leave it anyway.

@mrbee: lol! Since it was my MIL in there alone I'm thinking no?
Almost every other guest we have either strips the sheets or asks if we want the sheets stripped. I prefer it, if the sheets are left on the bed I sometimes forget about them until right before we have guests again! But MIL always just makes the bed, I was just curious whether that was strange or not...guess not judging by some of the others here!

I make the bed. My ILs strip the bed and I think it's so weird! I guess it's more common than I thought!
