What if no-one washes the pots or keeps the kitchen/pantry clean?
This can easily happen when lots of people share the same facilities. Your housekeeper will regularly remind you if the kitchen is not kept at an acceptable level of cleanliness or tidiness. You also need to regularly take rubbish out to the recycling area. You can tackle this by having a cleaning rota or an agreement that everyone needs to clean up after them and leave the kitchen in a suitable manner for everyone else to use. You need to keep ahead of the cleaning so that it is always at a manageable level. Keeping the windows open, pots washed, recycling regularly and disposing of old mouldy food will keep the kitchen a more fresh and hygienic environment. Remember – no smoking in all kitchens and pantries. The cleaners will empty the bins and wipe the work surfaces, but you need to keep the table and sides and sinks clear for them to do this. No-one will wash your pots for you – you all need to wash what you use.
