As we prepare for the summer months, it is important that you clean your room and place any work orders that may be necessary by informing the Housing Office (479-788-7340 or Housing@uafs.edu). Please note the following guidelines for room cleaning. If you do not follow these guide颅lines, you will be charged a minimum cleaning fee of $100. Cleaning charges for the common areas of the apartment may be divided among all residents of the apartment. For every resident checking out, the common areas MUST be cleaned. So for example, if you live in a four-bedroom apartment, the common areas need to be cleaned for each of the four roommates' checkouts. Here are some more guidelines:

  • Rooms, including closets, should be swept/vacuumed and mopped. Please do not sweep debris outside.
  • All furniture (including the refrigerator, oven, and dishwasher) and flat surfaces should be wiped down.
  • All sticker and tape residue must be removed from walls and doors.
  • Please leave any 3M Command products attached to the walls. We will remove them for you. Dust mini blinds, fans, baseboards, and windowsills. All counter tops, cabinets, and drawers (e.g. kitchen/bathroom) should be cleared and cleaned.
  • All trash must be taken to the dumpsters and not left in the bedrooms, common areas, or outside your door. Starting Friday, May 5, we will have two dumpsters available between buildings 3/4 and 7/8 and between buildings 1/2 and 5/6. Please do NOT move the parking barricades. We do not want your vehicle damaged.
  • Remove all personal belongings from your bedroom and common areas. Students may be charged for leaving items behind.

Most of the kitchen can be cleaned using a soap solution or a general all-purpose cleaner. Be sure to read and follow the instructions on the cleaner carefully. Make sure that you rinse the surface that you are cleaning unless the instructions specify otherwise. Items that can typically be cleaned with this type of cleaner are inside and outside the refrigerator, stove top, and outside of the oven, oven racks, range hood, microwave, outside of dishwasher, counter tops, cupboards, drawers, and baseboards. If there are carbon deposits inside the oven, you may need to use a commercial oven cleaner. When using this type of product, you will typically need to spray the inside of the oven, let it sit for a period of time, then wipe it clean. You may need to repeat this procedure more than once. Once the carbon has all been removed, rinse the inside of the oven until all oven cleaner residue has been removed.

  • Remove all items from the refrigerator and freezer. Turn off the ice maker and remove all the ice. Clean both areas by using a general cleaner. Remove drawer(s) and clean all areas. All stains must be removed.
  • Stainless steel sinks should be cleaned with an abrasive cleaner and scouring pad.
  • Garbage disposals and drains should be cleaned with a soap solution, but a small brush may be needed to thoroughly clean the rubber ring and grooved area around the drain. Never reach into the garbage disposal! If there is an odor coming from your disposal, sprinkle a little baking soda into the disposal and pour lemon juice into it. Once it has finished foaming, rinse the disposal thoroughly by letting water run into it.
  • Floors should be vacuumed. (Cabinets and counter tops can also be vacuumed with your vacuum鈥檚 attachment prior to washing to remove all crumbs).
  • To easily clean the inside of the dishwasher, run it empty on the warmest setting. Clear out food remains from the dishwasher drain.
  • All crustiness must be removed from the stove burner plates. If they are not clean/smooth, you will be billed $5 for each new plate. The bill will be split amongst roommates.
  • All grease should be carefully cleaned from all the kitchen surfaces. If surfaces still feel sticky after you've cleaned them, you will need to repeat the cleaning process.

Most of the bathroom can also be cleaned using a soap solution or a general all-purpose cleaner. Items that can typically be cleaned with this type of product include sink, counter top, towel bar, toilet paper holder, outside of toilet, and baseboards.

Toilet bowl cleaner and a toilet brush should be used on the inside of the stool. All stains must be removed. This includes the black mold ring in the toilet bowl as well as grime under the rim of the toilet bowl. Failure to return the toilet to all white will result in a cleaning fine. Do not forget the outside of the toilet.

A commercial cleaning product may be needed to thoroughly clean the inside of your shower and bathtub. If there is soap scum or other buildup in the shower, you may need to use a nylon brush to remove them. The bottom of the shower must be thoroughly scrubbed. A scouring powder such as Comet or Barkeeper鈥檚 Friend will help lift stains. Failure to return the shower to its original color may result in a cleaning fine.

Mirrors may be cleaned with glass cleaner or a general-purpose cleaner.

Upon moving in, we hope you found your apartment to be both clean and comfortable. As you are moving out, it is important that you thoroughly clean your apartment prior to your checkout inspection. This may mean that it needs to be cleaner than it was when you moved in. Please take a few minutes to read through the following tips and suggestions. If you have any questions or need some additional suggestions, please contact a staff member.

It is important that you clean each item in your apartment thoroughly. It usually takes just as much time to partially clean something as it does to thoroughly clean it, so do yourself a favor and make sure everything is thoroughly cleaned. Even if it is obvious that you have attempted to clean something but there is still dirt, dust, debris, or grease remaining on it, it will be marked as dirty when you check out. For an item to be marked as clean, it must require no additional cleaning from our staff.

  • If there is a washer or dryer in your apartment, make sure they are empty.
  • Vacuum the cracks in the furniture, especially the couch.
  • Look under furniture to make sure everything was removed and cleaned.
  • Carpet should be completely vacuumed. Use the vacuum attachment to clean along the edges and in the corners.
  • Thanks to RHA we have two vacuums in the Housing Office. You can check one out for up to 30 minutes at a time. Please be sure to empty it before returning it to the Housing Office.
  • Windows should be cleaned with glass cleaner. All windows should be cleaned on the inside. If a screen is bent, missing, or ripped and this was not stated on your original Room Condition Report, you may be billed for its replacement.
  • Mini blinds can be cleaned with a feather duster or vacuum attachment. If blinds are still dirty, try soaking an old sock in a soap solution and cleaning the blinds individually.
  • Heat vent covers can usually be cleaned by dusting or vacuuming with your vacuums brush attachment.
  • Light fixtures should be wiped off with a dry cloth. If they are excessively dirty on the inside, you should carefully take them down; wash with a soap solution, rinse, and hand-dry them.
  • All ceiling fan blades must be dusted. Ask a friend to help if you need it.
  • Dust other general areas such as the windowsill and cobwebs in the corners.
  • Turn the thermostat to 76 degrees on Cool and set it on Auto. No need to cool an empty apartment!
  • Close and lock windows. Turn blinds to closed.

    • Shower curtain, liner, and rings (leave the rod)
