Thank Heavens for Cleaning Checks

An apartment of 4 girls (plus one roommates boyfriend, who much to my dismay, seems to live on our couch) can produce some pretty revolting sights. Thank heavens for monthly cleaning checks that force us to clean up and put the apartment back together again. Some of my favorites that we found this time around were:
  1. A rice cooker with dried up, week-old rice still in it.
  2. Dishes piled so high that I couldn't even turn on the faucet to fill a glass of water.
  3. 8,000 otter pop wrappers.
  4. The bathroom garbage can overflowing with feminine products.
  5. And the winner goes to....A pile of fingernail clippings on the armchair (not mine)
It is so nauseating that we finally resorted to placing sticky notes around the kitchen identifying things such as "DIRTY...Fill me up" on the dishwasher and "Girls...no more piling dishes in the sink, it's getting nasty!" above the kitchen sink. Hopefully they serve their purpose and next months cleaning checks wont be quite so monumental.

    At my apartment in Logan of five girls, one girl's boyfriend [mine], and one girls new-boy-every-week, we had a similar situation. But our sign above the kitchen sink read: "Dishes are like boyfriends: DO YOUR OWN!" However this may not be exactly BYU friendly... =] Love you Stace!

    Did Mikelle ever tell you about her roommate's bunny? Mikelle was pretty grateful for the cleaning check that got rid of the rabbit droppings that were piling up in her living room!!!
