“Know before you go” they say, and these words can be applied to various situations in life actually, including the housekeeping. When you call cleaner Charlton, you know you will get a good service, but when you move in with someone, you never know how clean or dirty this person is until it is too late. Well, some people are not ashamed of being messy and you can see it every single time you come to visit, others are hiding their bad habits, offer you to move in together and then all the cleaning goes on you. What can you do about a messy roommate?
First of all, don’t let someone sit on your neck, meaning don’t do all the cleaning by yourself until the other person does something equal, like cooking all month long or anything else you can agree on. If this strategy doesn’t work in your house, try making a list of duties, things to be done, a schedule of cleaning or something similar.
