Paying for dry cleaning when duvet cover soiled


While visiting a cousin, my husband got blood on a duvet cover. I offered to pay for the dry cleaning but was told that was not necessary as they were going to send them to the dry cleaners anyway. Should I just send a check for the cost of the dry cleaning in a thank you note?

How to handle

Hello

Your offer to pay, no matter how sincere, was already declined. Proper etiquette is to accept her request with courteous regard. If you wish to thank them for their hospitality with more than the required thank you note, you can send a small gift of flowers or small box of candy. But you cannot send them money to pay for the dry cleaning.

How nice to have such a generous cousin!
