Housekeeping Expectations for Shared Living

Shared living works best when every member contributes to maintaining a clean and safe environment. Housekeeping is about more than chores—it’s about showing respect for yourself, your roommates, and the entire community.

Our housekeeping guidelines include:

• Clean Up After Yourself: Whether you’re cooking, eating, or using a common space, please leave the area tidy for the next person.
• Clean Dishes, Surfaces, and Personal Items: Wash dishes after use, wipe down counters, and keep personal belongings organized.
• Vacuuming: Regular vacuuming helps keep floors free from dirt and allergens, promoting a healthier living space.
• Taking Out the Trash: Dispose of garbage regularly and ensure bags are tied securely to avoid unpleasant odors.
• Cleaning the Bathroom: Shared bathrooms must be kept clean and sanitary for everyone’s comfort.
• Tidying Common Areas: Living rooms, kitchens, and hallways should remain neat and clutter-free.
• Maintain Personal Spaces: Members are expected to keep their bedrooms or personal areas clean and organized.
• Respect Common Areas: Shared spaces should be treated with the same care as your own room, ensuring they remain welcoming to all.
  

By following these practices, residents create a comfortable environment where everyone can relax, recharge, and feel at home.
