We expect members to keep their home tidy and clean to ensure the best co-living experience for all.
❗The cleaning schedule is subject to change for each home in Munich, especially the cleaning of private rooms.❗ For further information about your home, please reach out to us in the app. You can also check your Apartment information in the Apartment tab in the app.
Cleaning Services:
Hours are based on occupancy and sqm, and are distributed as follows:
shared spaces are cleaned
private rooms (including ensuite bathrooms) are cleaned
shared bathrooms are cleaned
Please always leave your room door slightly ajar on the private room cleaning day so that our cleaners can know that they are allowed to enter and clean the room. Otherwise, they will not enter and will not clean your room. Please ensure your room is not too messy as the cleaners won’t be able to clean the room properly in this case.
Note: cleaners will follow the tasks according to the LifeX cleaning schedule only. Cleaners’ hours are fixed and are not expected to clean up dirty dishes or after members’ parties.
No Cleaning on Public Holidays
During public holidays such as Easter, Christmas, and New Year, LifeX staff (including cleaners) will not be working. Therefore there will be no cleaning on these days and a new cleaning schedule will be communicated accordingly.
Missed cleaning days
In the event that you don’t receive housekeeping services for more than 1 day, you will be refunded for those missed days. However, this refund excludes situations such as not being able to find a last-minute housekeeper replacement due to illness or leave, or a long weekend during which the housekeeping schedule can’t be rearranged.
Cleaning services set the baseline of cleanliness in the apartment
As a member, you should always clean up after yourself when using the kitchen for cooking, using the bathroom, etc. Remember, you are sharing the house with other individuals, so make sure to keep it a respectable, clean and cozy home. 🙂 Also, don't leave dirty dishes in the sink or in any shared space. Cleaners come to clean the apartment - not to wash dishes 😉
