Ok, so I've got some friends, as much as I love them, they are so messy! I'll admit that sometimes when I visit, I'll leave a piece of (wrapped!) candy here or there, and leave things slightly diseveled but I promise 9 times out of 10 I'll clean up my messes, I unwrap a candy bar, I throw away the wrapper, I spill a little bit of soda, I run get a napkin and clean it. Unfortunately they are not usually so courteous, I'm not asking for them to be perfect and neat, but at least clean up candy wrappers and wipe up spills. I've tried banning food from my room, but eventually I cave and bring some in, is there another way I can have them clean up the basic stuff without being mean or rude?

make it clear to them that its a respect issue! it's most definitely rude, and if they are true friends, they will understand. next time you catch them leaving a mess, try to playfully say, "hey! don't mess my room up, i don't live in a dump!" hopefully they will laugh it off and get the picture

It's not being rude, you need to tell them straight out!!No other way or else they don't need to be in your home or room~

When you preface anything with the phrase "I don't mean to be rude, but..." you can get away with a lot

just tell them... ... or you could tell them you are O.C.D about it and now they know your dirty lil' secret about it.
