Winthrop's wonderful custodial team clean hallways, hallway bathrooms, and House-common spaces. They do not clean in-suite bathrooms or suite common rooms. Suites will be given cleaning supplies at the start of each semester; if you need more cleaning supplies, please contact the Building Management team.
Please be respectful of the custodial staff and other community members: don't leave boxes or trash in the hallways or stairwells; take your trash and recycling to a trash room. Don't leave messes or bodily wastes for others to clean up.
You can pick up toilet paper and trash bags from the package room in Gore Hall (near the Security Office). You can also borrow a vacuum cleaner and dust-pan and brush from the Security Office (please return them quickly so that others can use it!).
There are "cleaning supply kits" around the House that students can use to clean up messes, parties, etc. Please return them quickly so others can use them! They are in the following locations:
- Beren: Rooftop Common Room (in the cupboard).
- Gore: Trashroom; Laundry Room; and Package room.
- Standish: Trashroom; and Laundry Room.
If you need poster tack, you can pick some up from the Security Office.
If you see a mess or anything that requires maintenance, you can report it using the maintenance request system.
