Common courtesies of shared housing are asked of each person while they are here. The enjoyment of living where housemate expectations are clear and defined is worth the effort put forth to assume a portion of basic household responsibility. Cultivating the skill of leaving shared spaces clean and ready for the next person to use can only be of benefit in any living situation.
Regular contributions to the ongoing cleanliness of shared spaces displays a maturity and respect appreciated by housemates everywhere. A specific time each week works for some. Others prefer to take a few minutes each day. The effort extended serves to demonstrate each person's pride in their home and commitment to integrity.
