Learn more about what you must do to keep your accommodation clean.

Your responsibilities

You are responsible for the day-to-day cleaning of your accommodation.

You must:

  • make sure your kitchen, social areas and shared bathrooms are cleaned regularly throughout the week
  • wash, dry and put away any washing up straight away
  • keep surfaces, worktops and windowsills clear and clean, use the cupboards provided
  • keep communal areas tidy and clutter free, so everyone can use the space
  • clean your own bedroom and ensuite bathroom (if you have one) each week
  • regularly remove any rubbish from your room
  • remove any food debris from your room as soon as possible
  • recycle as much of your rubbish as possible

Read our cleaning guide for further support and advice on how to keep your accommodation clean.

Expectations

Kitchens

We check kitchens and communal areas during your given cleaning time.

If the cleanliness of your kitchen falls below an acceptable standard, you will have 48 hours to improve it.

If there is no improvement, our staff will carry out a full deep clean at a cost of up to £35 per resident. You will be given a date and time of when the deep clean will take place.

Bedrooms

We check bedrooms regularly.

If your room is below an acceptable standard you will have one week to improve.

If there is no improvement, our staff will carry out a full deep clean, which you will be charged £50 for.

You will be given a date and time of when the deep clean will take place.
