Cleaning

Cleaning services will be different, depending on where you live and you can find the schedule in your residence guide.

Kitchen cleaning does not include rubbish disposal or washing up.

Your responsibilities

You are expected to keep your accommodation in a clean and habitable condition. This includes communal areas. You must:

• wash up your dishes after you have used them
• use the recycling scheme

The student cleaning expectations and guidance document has some helpful information on what cleaning products to use and how, so you know what to do to ensure your accommodation is cleaned well and that you are maintaining a healthy environment.

Read our student cleaning expectations and guidance document (pdf).

If you don't meet an acceptable standard of cleanliness and hygiene: 

• normal cleaning services may be suspended
• waste and rubbish removal may be suspended
• you may be charged for additional cleaning

You may also face action under the student disciplinary regulations.
