Day-to-day cleaning is usually the individual student’s responsibility. You should keep your own room clean and tidy, and be jointly responsible with your housemates for communal spaces like the kitchen. This includes (but is not limited to) wiping down surfaces, washing up, emptying bins and vacuuming.  

Halls of residence and student houses may be subject to regular cleanliness inspections and can charge a professional cleaning fee if they’re not up to scratch. At the end of tenancy, additional cleaning charges could be taken out of your security deposit too. 

Purpose-built halls tend to provide vacuums as standard, but these are to be shared between your flat or floor. Rather than having to empty everyone’s dirt and debris from the dust container or bag, and wait your turn when it comes to hoovering, it’s a good idea to invest in your own.
