Hey guys,
I know this is a very common problem but I’m in a situation right now where my flatmates are neglecting our student house when it comes to cleaning. I don’t handle mess well but it’s got to the point where rubbish is being left on the floor, the kitchen stinks, bins are overflowing and dirty plates ect are being left everywhere. We also have an island in our kitchen which is absolutely filled with people’s stuff like arts and crafts, paint ect. I have done everything to encourage flatmates to step up when it comes to cleaning. I’ve created rotas twice and the most recent one makes people tick when they’ve done their part of the cleaning so I can see who isn’t doing their side of the cleaning and none of them have ticked their name off. I’ve sent loads of messages to the group chat, I’ve asked for face to face flat meetings but nothing is working and it’s getting to the point where I wouldn’t be surprised if we got rats. It’s so embarrassing and I’ve just been to pick up some stuff to take to my boyfriend’s house and I cried when I saw the state of the kitchen and the lounge. I’m doing my bit of the cleaning and I’ve taken out the bins again as they are overflowing. Please help I really can’t keep carrying on living like this x
