Cleaning of common rooms

In the 3-person and 4-person shared flats, the common rooms are cleaned supportively once a week (see kitchen door for dates). For each cleaning appointment, the tenants must prepare the following:

In the kitchen, please clear the cupboard surfaces, the stove, the sink, the table, the windowsill and the floor.
Please clear all storage areas and the floor in the shower room / toilet.
Please clear the floor in the hall as far as possible.

Despite the weekly cleaning, we expect all tenants to leave the common rooms in a tidy, neat condition after use. The hob and the oven must be left clean after each use. Please also read our rental conditions point 10.

Please make sure not to hinder the cleaning staff in their work and support them with the appropriate preparations ‐ it also serves your own well-‐being!
