Dear Amy: My wife and I bought a condo in downtown Chicago a couple of years ago. We are often not there and have offered its use to friends and family. Our only request is that guests leave the condo tidy when they depart. This includes washing the sheets for the beds they’ve used and remaking the beds.
We have a washer/dryer in the unit, but my sister does not like doing this, so she brings a single twin sized flat sheet and a pillowcase with her when she visits.She then uses the blanket and the cover that we have on the bed.
My wife and I don’t think my sister’s solution is appropriate and are considering telling her that if she is not willing to follow our rules, she is not welcome to use our condo.Dear House Proud: I once had a well-traveled houseguest bring two sheets and a pillowcase, which she simply slipped over the linens that were on the bed. She then removed her sheets and remade the bed at the end of her stay. I think that’s a great hack.
And so – your reaction to her behavior should also be very clear and easy to follow: “You can’t seem to follow what we’ve asked you to do at the end of your visits, so you’re going to have to find somewhere else to perch during your trips to Chicago.”
