Hot take: if you have cleanliness standards well above the average person, you can only expect your roommates to meet you halfway. The rest is on you

This is a hot take. Define above the average person. IMO if you’re paying for a home, you should be able to take care of it. Basic household chores like dusting/mopping, deep cleaning every once in a while are normal. Daily responsibilities like washing your plates and wiping kitchen counters are also normal. Live in a bad pest area? Don’t leave food out. If you have bad hygiene and smelly sheets, that’s just gross.

I’m talking military clean. We did all of the things you named regularly and my ex roommate still said that we were “disgusting”. I even swept 1-2 times a week, not including the other 3 roommates sweeping. She reported all of us to housing multiple times

Yeah bro that’s rough. I’ll admit, I like a clean home, but if I want it that clean I’d just do it myself! That’s scary clean 😆 Also idc what my rm does in their space as long as it’s not stinking up the place or giving us a bug problem
