During the week, the cleaning crew does a great job, but on the weekends, the bathrooms approach unusable. There are two solutions to the current problem. The first one would be the most obvious: those that end up making a huge mess should have enough responsibility to clean up after themselves. If you can make it into the bathroom to ease your bubbling stomach, then have the motivation to run into the toilet stalls instead. Also, when you make your sacrifice to the porcelain goddess, make sure you get it all in there, and not on the floor, the seats, the walls, or anywhere else it doesn’t belong.

The same goes for any other function of the bathroom. If you notice that you’ve made a big mess of the sink, whether it be shaving cream, facial hair, or anything else for that matter, do us all a favor and grab a paper towel you know they’re nearby, and wipe down the area you used. The whole process might take you five seconds and the next time you go to use the facility, it will be clean for you, too.

Showers. These white rectangular boxes are made for getting yourself clean. Once you finish using it look around to see if there is anything you’ve left behind, whether it be empty shampoo bottles, the last piece of your soap, or other less identifiable objects; make sure you remove them.

Now you might be thinking “I pay lots of money to RPI, why don’t they have a weekend cleaning crew?” That’s the second solution to the problem. It would seem that of all the days of the week, the ones that most often produce bathroom disasters would be Friday and Saturday nights. Also, not having it cleaned on the weekends allows the mess to accumulate so when the regular weekday crew comes in, it’s that much more work for them to deal with. It is always possible that they consider the added cost to not be worth it, but the people who decide that probably don’t have to hold their breath as they enter their bathroom on the way to the showers.
