Bathroom Cleaning

Routine Cleaning Fall 2023-Spring 2024

Opt-In Suite Bathroom Cleaning Update

Opt-In Suite Bathroom Cleaning will NOT be offered AFTER Spring 2024. Community-style bathrooms will still be cleaned daily.

• Residents in Community-Style Halls will have their bathrooms cleaned daily.
• All suitemates in the suite must complete the opt-in form for bathroom cleaning. Service will only be provided if all suitemates agree to the service.
• The first suite bathroom cleaning will occur the week of Monday, August 28. To facilitate the cleaning service, we require that all personal items must be removed from the bathroom, shower, and the suite area. On the day of your cleaning, please be prepared for staff to come through any time between 9:45 a.m. and 3:00 p.m.
  • This protects personal property while also allowing us to fully and efficiently clean the suite bathroom areas. If any items are left, the BSTs will not be able to clean your bathroom suite.
  • The first time our staff go in and are not able to clean, they will leave you a note as a reminder. This will be the only warning received. If they go in a second time and they are not able to clean due to items left behind, this will cancel you from the opt-in bathroom cleaning.
  • At that point, your suite would be responsible for the cleaning of your bathroom and suite area.
  • Students will have opportunity to sign up again for the Spring 2024 term.
• Cleaning occurs every other week and will be identified for the semester as Week 1 or Week 2. Week 1 begins Monday, August 28, and Week 2 begins Monday, September 4. Please refer to the schedules below for your specific residence hall's designation.
• All open/public bathrooms are cleaned daily when occupants are in the building. 
• Reminder for residents to remove all trash in a timely matter and dispose in proper trash areas before leaving for extended periods of time.
• Bleach-based cleaners and steel scrubbers/sponges are prohibited.
• Green and Eco-Friendly cleaning products are preferred, but not required.
