Cleaning your accommodation

In the kitchen, our cleaning teams will: 

• Clean all surfaces and sink areas
• Thoroughly clean cookers, grills and microwaves
• Sweep and mop the floor
• Wipe clean the front of fridges / freezers, cupboard doors, and drawers 
• Replenish your bin bags to help you keep on top of things

This service happens once a week, during Monday to Friday. We recommend you check your kitchen and common room the day before your weekly top up clean / inspection.

In communal areas, our cleaning teams will:

• Mop, sweep or vacuum all corridors, stairs and floors
• Clean toilets, baths, washbasins and showers
• Replenish toilet rolls

In shared bathrooms, our cleaning teams will: 

• Clean all surfaces, and sink areas
• Deep clean toilets and showers
• Sweep and mop the floor

This cleaning service happens three times a week and toilet rolls are topped up daily.

If you have an ensuite bathroom, this will be deep cleaned before your arrival. You are responsible for cleaning it the rest of the time.

You’re responsible for tidying and cleaning your bedroom, including:

• vacuuming / sweeping regularly
• cleaning surfaces (we recommend a non-bleach based cleaner)
• cleaning your ensuite

A vacuum can be found in your kitchen. You can request additional vacuum bags online.

You're responsible for keeping your ensuite bathroom clean and tidy after you move into your accommodation. This includes mopping up any excess water on your floor to prevent mould and keeping plugholes clear to avoid blockages.

You'll also be responsible for buying your own toilet rolls - we'll supply one roll for your arrival.

You and your flatmates are responsible as a group for cleaning your kitchen. This includes:

• regularly emptying your bins into the outside recycling bins
• washing up and putting away crockery and utensils
• clearing and cleaning your worktops, hobs, ovens, sink, windowsills and floors
• clearing belongings and shopping crates off the floor
• preparing for your weekly clean.

Always keep your hallway and fire escapes clear. Anything blocking either of these could be a potential hazard in case of an emergency or fire. Hallways will be cleaned every two weeks.

If you use your college common room, you’ll need to make sure it’s left in a clean and tidy condition when you’re done. Common rooms will be cleaned every two weeks.
