Your room:
You are fully responsible for ensuring your room is clean and tidy at all times. You will have access to basic equipment such as a hoover and mop. If you have an en-suite room you will also have to ensure the bathroom is kept clean.
Communal areas:
Any communal areas such as kitchens, corridors and bathrooms etc must be cleaned by everyone in the block, house or flat; it is a joint responsibility. This includes: work surfaces, fridges, ovens and bins. A good idea is to create/use a cleaning rota to help ensure your communal areas stay clean. Please contact the accommodation team if you need any help with this. It is also a group responsibility to maintain the basic cleaning equipment; making sure the hoover bag is emptied frequently and keeping mops, buckets etc clean and tidy. Hoover bags can be collected from the Accommodation Office.
Outside areas:
Please also ensure that the areas close to your block stay clean from any rubbish, including cigarette ends. Please use the external bin stores, litter bins and the cigarette bins provided.
Our responsibility:
We will clean any communal areas outside of your flat (hallways, stairs, entrances etc). You may see the cleaning team during the week and occasionally, they may access your accommodation to use University equipment, such as the hoover.
