Dorm Room Cleaning Schedule
One room, one roommate, no kitchen of your own. A 5-minute-a-day schedule designed for dorm life.
Who this is for
College students living in dorms. Different problem than student houses — no real kitchen, shared bathrooms, only one private space.
Dorm cleaning is its own thing. You don't have a kitchen. The bathroom isn't your responsibility (mostly). All you really control is one shared room — and how it looks decides whether you and your roommate get along.
Five minutes a day is enough. Make the bed (or don't, but stash bedding), one surface tidied, one floor strip vacuumed/swept, bin out when 80% full. That's it. Skip the rest.
