What day do the custodians come to clean and what do they clean? (+10 if you can explain custodian-resident cooperation)
Trick question! It's different for every room--check your magnet when you move-in. The custodians clean the bathroom and kitchen but only empty out the bathroom trash can. • Light cleaning provided on a weekly basis. This should supplement the cleaning you do in the apartment. Custodians wipe down counters in kitchen, bathroom, etc. Students have to make sure they remove their belongings so the custodians can adequately clean. • A more extensive cleaning is done over the long breaks (i.e. Winter) • The oldest buildings are only a few years old. We encourage residents to be respectful of the buildings because they’re very nice places to live.
