Tip 1. Use the cleaning products provided in your kitchen
when you're cleaning your accommodation. They're provided for your convenience and free to use.
Tip 2. If you find a problem with your room
report it to housekeeping as soon as possible so that it can be fixed.
you should do this online and it takes a matter of minutes.
Tip 3. Don't put your fats and cooking oils straight down the sink as it causes
blockages instead put them into a container and
place in the general waste.
Tip 4. Use this squeezy to remove the bulk of the water from the shower walls and
screens. When your shower room is almost dry
ventilate by opening the door and a window it helps to prevent mould.
Tip 5. Vacuum your room once a week
it only takes five minutes and keeps the dust to a minimum.
Tip 6. Keep your room smelling fresh by opening your window to change the air
Tip 7. Regularly remove rubbish and take turns emptying kitchen bins
your accommodation has waste collection stores with colour-coded bins for recycling.
Glass is recycled separately so check which bin to use.
Tip 8. You may feel bombarded by the amount of information thrown in your way in your first few
weeks at uni. So if you are unsure of anything
about your accommodation please speak to your domestic assistants who are happy to help.
Tip 9. In the kitchen do not fill the sink with the dirty dishes
and pans. It prevents other students from using that area.
Please put your things away after using them so that others can use the sinks and work surfaces.
Tip 10. Use the laundry facilities to dry your
clothes after a wash cycle. Drying your clothes in your room may
save you a few pennies, but it generates mould, which isn't something
you want in your accommodation.
