Y’all don’t get what I was saying. My ex roommate expected the apartment to be DEEP CLEANED DAILY even though the rest of us had classes and jobs. We swept 2-3 times a week, mopped weekly, never left messes, and she still complained constantly

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

She complained that we weren’t cleaning our individual bedrooms enough

Bro you should’ve been more specific then, don’t get heated. I’ll validate that. Totally weird that they cared so much about your personal spaces. I mean I do a chore day biweekly, and clean up after myself the rest of the time. Expecting a place to be that clean is unrealistic for adults with different schedules 100%

Dude all I asked my roommates to do was vacuums their rooms once a month and for us to take turns vacuuming and mopping common areas every other week….they still complained and asked like it was a crazy request.

For sure. I def could’ve worded it better. I have pretty high standards also, so I meet people halfway when it makes sense, but she refused to do that

Their bedrooms isn’t really your business though

Not vaccuming their own rooms can lead to a few issues. 1, more dust staying in the air and not being removed. 2, dirt, grime, and whatever else on their carpet gets moved to the rest of the house from them walking to and from the room. 3, say one leaves crumbs all over in their room, now the whole apartment/house is infested with ants. Overall, it’s a general cleanliness of the place that is needed. Now obviously the roommate can’t say it needs to be done on the 7th of the month every month.

Mine had issues with dishes too, I’d be in the middle of cooking still and she’d give me a timer of less than 24 hours to clean my own pots and pans…

Tbh we only asked of that because we could smell their room from the downstairs since they never cleaned.
