No more washing up: How Airbnb's new house rules have divided hosts and guests

During a recent stay in Stafford, she paid a £35 cleaning fee but was still asked to strip the beds, put on a wash, empty bins and carry rubbish down a long track to a recycling area.

"I don't particularly mind doing those things, but it did make me question what exactly I was paying the additional cleaning fee for," she says.

For Foskett, there is a difference between being a considerate guest – "putting your dirty dishes in the dishwasher" – and being "expected to prepare the property for the next guests".

Through her cleaning business, she has also seen the other extreme, with teams arriving to find broken furniture, vomit and pet urine.
