University residence halls are spaces with a high turnover of people, constant use of common areas, and daily interaction between students.
Keeping them clean not only improves the well-being and image of the center, but also prevents the buildup of bacteria, odors, and premature wear and tear of the facilities.
At La Corberana , we manufacture professional cleaning products in Spain that guarantee effectiveness, safety, and performance, both for daily use by residents and for general maintenance performed by institutions.
Below, we present a practical cleaning and maintenance guide for student residences: what basic tasks each resident can perform and how professional cleaning work should be handled to keep all spaces in optimal condition.
Cleaning Tips for College Dorms
🧹 Daily cleaning by students
Each student has the responsibility to keep their personal space tidy and clean.
In addition to being a matter of hygiene, it promotes coexistence and reduces subsequent maintenance work.
Basic recommendations:
-
Daily order: make the bed, air the room and collect clothes and personal belongings.
-
Clean surfaces: Use an all-purpose cleaner with a damp cloth to clean tables, desks, and shelves.
-
Floors: sweep or mop with scented floor cleaner , which removes dust and leaves a fresh environment.
-
Personal Bathroom: Clean the sink and shower with bathroom cleaner at least twice a week to prevent limescale and soap scum.
-
Odors: Apply concentrated spray air fresheners or automatic air fresheners in closed areas.
-
Dishes and utensils: Use a detergent to clean everyday glasses and dishes without leaving residue.
💡 Tip: Professional-grade concentrated products go further with less, helping you save water and product with each cleaning.

How to choose the right cleaning products
University residence halls face two challenges: students looking to clean their rooms on a budget, and maintenance staff needing effective and long-lasting products for common areas.
Therefore, the best option is concentrated, high-performance products , which offer professional results with minimal use. Plus, 5-liter formats save money and reduce packaging , both for individual rooms and for general maintenance.
Practical recommendations:

Choose concentrated all-purpose cleaners , ideal for desks, shelves, and common surfaces.

Use large formats (5 liters) : they can be distributed among several students or used for general cleaning, and they last much longer.

Keep a scented floor cleaner handy to keep floors clean and fresh with a small amount.
