Cleaning at St. John’s?

I have a single ensuite at St. John’s. Am I responsible for cleaning the bathroom or do they have cleaners who do it? Just asking so I know if I should buy cleaning supplies or not?
I've asked the same question but not college specific and have been told that usually shared bathrooms are cleaned by cleaners. I think I will wait until I get there to buy cleaning supplies anyway, then I can ask and I won't have to bring even more stuff.

Why on earth would you expect cleaning staff to clean your private bathroom?

I wasn’t sure what services are included. That’s why I asked. I have no issue cleaning it myself. But I didn’t want to buy cleaning supplies if not needed.
Check with Johns - at Chads the cleaners do clean the en suites (and loo paper is provided) and hoover bedrooms.

To be fair said cleaning supplies are very cheap and it's not like the go off like food supplies (where asking if the accommodation is catered or not makes a big difference!) so bringing it with you just in case if you don't have a clear answer won't be a great loss :smile:
