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.

Tips for University Residences

🧽 Professional maintenance of the residence

The center's cleaning or maintenance team must ensure that common areas, kitchens, shared bathrooms, and hallways are regularly sanitized.

Common areas

• Surfaces and furniture: Clean tables, armchairs and shelves with a professional multipurpose cleaner .

• Floors: Mop with concentrated floor cleaner , ideal for large surfaces, providing shine and disinfection.

• Doors, knobs, and handrails: Disinfect frequently to prevent infection.

Kitchens and dining rooms

• Countertops and extractor hoods: remove grease with a high-performance degreaser .

• Utensils and dishes: wash with a hand-held dishwasher , which removes food residue and grease without damaging your hands.

• Floors and walls: Clean with a neutral detergent that leaves no residue and maintains shine.

Shared bathrooms

• Use limescale removers and disinfectants for toilets, sinks, and showers.

• Increase ventilation and use air fresheners or gel air fresheners to maintain a feeling of freshness.

Passage and reception areas

• Mop the floors daily with a scented floor cleaner .

• Clean glass and windows with professional glass cleaner to maintain a good image.

• Use concentrated air fresheners to neutralize odors in closed spaces.

Benefits of a well-planned professional cleaning

Applying an organized routine with appropriate products has clear advantages:

• Increases the durability of furniture and facilities .

• Improves the image and reputation of the center .

• Reduces the risk of allergies, mold or bad odors .

• Save time and resources by optimizing every task.

• It promotes a more pleasant environment for residents and staff.

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.

• Bathroom cleaners and hand-held dishwashers are essential in any residence, whether in private rooms or shared kitchens.

• A concentrated air freshener helps maintain a pleasant environment without overusing the product.
