Yes the 10 month old could do the hoovering instead
Just have to make it fun for them. Such as tidy up songs .Also be clear with your friend.She may just think that you are o.k with it. Most people I know would offer and sometimes I say just leave it I will do it However it is very important children learn good manners and social behaviour.
Good luck.

Finger nail polish remover(non acetone) or those Mr. Clean magic pads(can't remember the name) will get the sharpie off.....and personally, I'd lose the "friend"
I always made my mutts clean up after themselves at someones house or at mine....It usually carries over into adulthood, also

Magic Eraser.
Those do work very well!

The two year old is not to young to start learning to clean up with your help of course. He/She may only get a few things put away but at least you have them helping. I know most people don't like Barney, but my son loved him and learned allot from watching the shows. We would always sing the "clean up song". Helped to make it a little more fun.
The 10 month old may just sit and watch in amazement but is still learning and singing the song would hold his/her attention for a bit. He/she would catch on soon enough and think it's a game.

The Legos and Cars belong to my children and are kept in shelves in my family room. The friends were over sunday and my kiddos were in their room working on homework. Kids start whinning for toys and mom gets them down. They make a mess then get a cell phone call and leave. It's not fair for my kiddos to have to clean up the mess so hubby and I were still finding legos on monday after work.
I took the table to someone and told her what it's going to cost to be repaired. She said the marks were little and couldn't Ijust put a scarve over the marks that the repair bill sounds really high and at this point they don't have the money to "pitch in".

Guess I'm going to have to go home tonight and break little Bubba's heart and throw away his collection of >200 hotwheels.
2 years old is too young for hotwheels?? How long has it been since you had a 2 year old boy in your house?
Hell, my 2 year old sleeps with his.. Before going to bed he surveys his kingdom and picks out 4 or 5 of his favorites before jaunting off to bed. I guess i could by him a cabbage patch doll, or a purple dinosaur to sleep with. NOT!

Different girl. Maybe you two should be new bff's?
On a more serious note, I make my children help clean up but often insist that guests children only help a little. I very much appreciate the gesture but chances are they aren't going to clean to my liking so picking up a few things and not being a total heathen is good enough for me. That being said, I don't allow any child in my house to act like a heathen. They can be children and play but if any of them starts acting like a beast the mom voice comes out. I take no issue with telling my friends' children not to do something in my house.

I help my son pick up any and all toys he takes out. It's impolite to leave another person's home trashed unless they tell you to just leave it because they plan on taking care of it themselves.

You ever tried to tear a wheel off of a hotwheel??
I have to go to my toolbench to do it, and my 2 year old can't reach my tool bench.
Nice try though.
