There are always going to be tons of things that you don't expect. Most homestudies are looking to find out if your home is safe and clean enough for kids. Most homestudy workers don't do a white glove test, but I've read on here about some who do, so you might want to wipe down your baseboards just in case. In general, the worker is nice, goes through the checklist, and asks if s/he is unsure about your home. And you're usually given time to correct things that they find, sometimes on the spot.
The goal is to get you to PASS, not to fail you.
It's more nerve-wracking before hand than during.
