Who cleans the home?

Last updated October 30, 2024

In most PadSplits, the Members of the home are responsible for cleaning and purchasing cleaning supplies. By working together, we can create a comfortable and hygienic living space for everyone. 

Here are some guidelines to help maintain a clean environment:

Teamwork 

  • We encourage you to chat with your housemates about creating a cleaning schedule and how you can fairly share responsibilities and costs for cleaning supplies

Kitchen

  • Keep the sink empty to leave room for washing dishes
  • Wipe up any spills or splatters
  • Toss your expired food promptly
  • Keep the countertop free of clutter

Bathroom 

  • Make sure you have left the toilet, shower and sink hygienic and tidy after use
  • Protect the plumbing by only flushing toilet paper. Items like wet wipes, feminine products, and dental floss belong in the trash. By being mindful, we can avoid costly plumbing repairs that can affect everyone.

Trash

  • Place trash in the proper receptacles
  • If the trash is getting full, help your PadMates by taking it out
  • On trash day, roll the bins to the curb (and back)
