Cleaning...!
Hello there 
This is mainly for either current or past Leeds students.
I know all Universities are different and a lot have cleaners etc, but I was wondering if Leeds do in your bathroom and kitchen??
I know they don't clean your rooms (obviously) but do they clean the rest??
Just a random query

I was in Leodis from mid05-mid06 and they cleaned nothing! Useless!
The only thing they did was nick all the cool stuff we had nicked ourselves off building sites when drunk (traffic cones, concrete-caked wheelbarrows, long steel girders etc)
Yeah so if you live in Leodis try and keep the cleaners out

ahh bodington was AMAZING! Are you self-catered or catered?
I was self and they cleaned our kitchen, shower and toilet once a week.
Catered they clean your room at the end of every term as you have to move all your stuff out.

It depends on your halls, they tend to vary in what they clean in levels:-
1) staircases etc
2) 1 + flat corridor
3) 2 + kitchen bin and/or bathroom floor
4) 3 + vacuum your room
So in some cases they vacuum your room every couple of days and in other cases they only clean the block staircases once a year or so.

indeed and i doubt the cleaners improved since then.. also they would only take the bin bag from the bin.. they would not take any by the side you could only make a certain amount of rubbish.. or you could just put the bin bags in the corridor and then it's under their jurisdiction.. but yes, the cleaners are near useless.
ohh..how about in Carr Mills? any idea?
OMG. So weird. Meggiemoo7272 was my old name and I posted this before I came to Leeds. I'm now almost done my 1st year. Crazy!!!
Just to let you all know, for those who don't, I can now answer my own question!!!!
Bod- clean on a certain day your kitchen, shower, toilet and hoover the corridoor. They DON'T do your washing up or touch your stuff
Other halls I'm not sure about....some clean rooms and some do washing up and some have room inspections. Bodington's more laid back!
Hope this helps

Henry Price - Take your rubbish bags from the kitchen every weekday and they clean the stairs down (Every day 'I think')
We do have flat inspections every term though (1st and 2nd terms they inspect the kitchena nd the flat corridor, third term they inspect both of those again AND your bedroom/shared shower/ensuite) If you don't pass the first inspection you get a week to "try again" lol If you fail this then the flat has to pay for cleaners to come in (Or so I've been told, not sure of a flat that this has happened to yet)

They DON'T do your washing up
Oh my god, really?!?!!1 Next you'll be saying they don't wash my dirty laundry either!! Call themselves 'cleaners'...
At Devonshire the cleaning is brilliant: once a week we get our whole bathroom and kitchen cleaned (including washing up!) and the bedrooms/halls hoovered and all bins emptied. Better than anywhere else I've heard of.
To the person who asked abour Carr Mills - my friend is there and i'm pretty sure they get no cleaning at all. Crap considering they pay £90 a week!

Why do I get the feeling that some people expect cleaning to be done for them. Surely the whole point of University is to try and gain some more independance which would mean cleaning stuff once in a while .. 
Lol I got that feeling too! I was really shocked when I read some of the posts

No I didn't expect it at all, but that doesn't mean I'm not going to be pleased with getting it! And by the Carr Mills comment, I just think its pretty bad that they get nothing compared to what I get for £10 less a week.

Well although we have the bins changed at Henry Price each weekday, it isn't enough to cover the amount of rubbish the flat of 9 people uses so we do take it out ourselves if needed.
But yes before I came to University I wouldn't have even dreamt that cleaners would clean certain halls' rooms//kitchens/bathrooms
I was even amazed that they took the rubbish out each day in Henry Price!!
