Okay, so I love my roommate and would die for her. But she won’t clean, how do I say hey please clean up. Like specifically our bathroom I clean it all the time and she doesn’t even pick her hair up off the vanity.

ask her again or ask if you guys could make a cleaning schedule!

I have asked and said “hey could you clean the bathroom?” And she says yes but then never cleans it. I don’t want to be a bitch about it but also I cannot clean the house and the bathroom ALL the time.

maybe be more specific? ie “hey can u clean the sink?” sometimes it helps to have specific things pointed out. also a cleaning schedule!

chore chart! if it very clearly says the bathroom is hers this week and she doesn’t clean it then you can just point that out

Get her to watch you clean it . This might require some subtlety, but it’s possible that it’s just not really an option available in her head

specifics and timeframes. "hey will you clean the [bathroom/shower/sink] this week/end please?" if the week/end comes without her cleaning you can follow up with something like "i was wondering if you were still going to clean the [thing] this week/end?" if there's resistance, "i can't keep taking care of it without help. it's not fair to me" and be prepared to be like "ok, we'll just let it go" and... let it go... until it's so bad she's compelled to clean it
