Tell them they need to come get it this weekend, or else you’re getting rid of the stuff. I would not be delivering it to their place. Sell the good stuff, donate or junk the rest (as appropriate). Its a lot more difficult in your mind than it is to all of us outsiders. My family has used me as a permanent storage solution before, and it took my Mom a few incidents of me getting rid of items for her to understand that, hey, if you leave your crap with someone indefinitely, it by default becomes THEIR crap, with which they are entitled to keep, sell, or donate as they see fit.
Wanting them to come back and clean at this point is weird. Let it go. Should they have done it when they left? Yes. But at this point your brother or sister in law might be contemplating starting an internet thread like “I thought I was a house guest, but my inlaws keep passive aggressively asking me to come back and clean the bathroom. And I’ve been gone for six months. Is it reasonable that they’ve left the bathroom untouched and dirty, waiting for me to return with cleaning supplies? What do I do?”.
