With rental prices among the highest in Europe, most people in the city spend at least part of their twenties or thirties living with housemates in a terraced house in Rathmines, a flat in Phibsborough, or a converted property in Ranelagh.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The challenge is that shared spaces &#8212; kitchens, bathrooms, hallways &#8212; need everyone on board to stay clean. Here are eight practical tips that actually work in shared houses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Set Expectations on Day One<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The most common source of tension in shared houses is not that someone is dirty &#8212; it is that nobody agreed on what clean means. What one person considers acceptable, another finds unacceptable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Before anyone unpacks, have a 10-minute conversation about:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>How often shared spaces get cleaned<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>What clean means for each area (dishes washed immediately, or within 24 hours?)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Whether you rotate responsibilities or each person owns an area<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>What happens if someone consistently does not pull their weight<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Writing this down in a house WhatsApp or a note on the fridge removes the awkwardness of having to bring it up later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Use a Rotating Rota for Shared Spaces<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The fairest system in most Dublin shared houses is a simple weekly rota for common areas: kitchen, bathroom, hallway, and bins. Rotate so nobody is permanently stuck with the bathroom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Keep it visible &#8212; a whiteboard in the kitchen is more effective than a shared Google doc that nobody opens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"500\" src=\"https:\/\/www.emop.ie\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/house-share-cleaning-rota-dublin-1.jpg\" alt=\"Housemates in a shared Dublin kitchen keeping the space clean and tidy\" class=\"wp-image-1777\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.emop.ie\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/house-share-cleaning-rota-dublin-1.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.emop.ie\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/house-share-cleaning-rota-dublin-1-500x313.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.emop.ie\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/house-share-cleaning-rota-dublin-1-768x480.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.emop.ie\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/house-share-cleaning-rota-dublin-1-600x375.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Clean as You Go in the Kitchen<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The kitchen is where most house-sharing friction happens. The single habit that makes the biggest difference is cleaning as you go: wipe the hob after you use it, wash your dishes before you leave the kitchen (or within a reasonable agreed window), and put away anything you took out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is not about perfection &#8212; it is about not leaving a problem for the next person.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Deal With Limescale Regularly<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Dublin has hard water. Limescale builds up on taps, shower screens, and kettle elements faster than in many other Irish cities. If you leave it for a few weeks it becomes genuinely difficult to remove; if you deal with it weekly it takes about 30 seconds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Keep a small bottle of white vinegar under the kitchen sink and one in the bathroom. A quick wipe around the tap every few days prevents a bigger job later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. Assign Individual Bathroom Shelves or Drawers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Bathroom clutter is a persistent problem in shared houses. The simplest fix is physical separation: one shelf or drawer per person, used strictly. Everything that is not on your shelf is not your problem and not your right to move.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This also makes cleaning the bathroom faster &#8212; each person clears their own shelf before cleaning day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"500\" src=\"https:\/\/www.emop.ie\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/bathroom-shelf-organisation-house-share.jpg\" alt=\"Bathroom shelves organised per person in a Dublin house share\" class=\"wp-image-1774\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.emop.ie\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/bathroom-shelf-organisation-house-share.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.emop.ie\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/bathroom-shelf-organisation-house-share-500x313.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.emop.ie\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/bathroom-shelf-organisation-house-share-768x480.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.emop.ie\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/bathroom-shelf-organisation-house-share-600x375.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">6. Have a Shared Cleaning Kit<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A shared cleaning kit that everyone contributes to prevents the situation where one person buys all the products and everyone else benefits. Agree a small monthly kitty (EUR5 per person usually covers it) or take turns buying:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Washing-up liquid<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Multi-surface spray<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Bathroom cleaner<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Limescale remover<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Bin bags<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Toilet cleaner and brush<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Brands like Method, Ecover, and Earth Breeze are available in most Irish supermarkets (Dunnes, Tesco, SuperValu) and work well for most shared house tasks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">7. Do a Weekly 15-Minute House Reset<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Set a recurring time &#8212; Sunday evening works well for many Dublin households before the working week starts &#8212; when everyone spends 15 minutes tidying their own belongings out of shared spaces. This is separate from cleaning; it is just a collective reset.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Shared spaces that are tidy are also faster to clean when it is your turn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">8. Book a Professional Clean Periodically<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Even with the best rota, shared houses benefit from a professional deep clean a few times a year. It gets to the areas that weekly surface cleaning misses: behind appliances, grout, skirting boards, and inside the oven.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Splitting the cost between housemates makes it very affordable. eMop offers same-day and next-day cleaning across Dublin &#8212; a three-bedroom shared house typically takes around 4 hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.emop.ie\/\">Get a quote and book online at emop.ie<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"500\" src=\"https:\/\/www.emop.ie\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/professional-cleaner-dublin-house-share.jpg\" alt=\"eMop professional cleaner cleaning a shared house in Dublin\" class=\"wp-image-1775\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.emop.ie\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/professional-cleaner-dublin-house-share.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.emop.ie\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/professional-cleaner-dublin-house-share-500x313.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.emop.ie\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/professional-cleaner-dublin-house-share-768x480.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.emop.ie\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/professional-cleaner-dublin-house-share-600x375.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Final Thought<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>House sharing works best when the systems are clear and nobody is relying on everyone else to pick up the slack. A rota, a shared kit, and a clean-as-you-go habit in the kitchen will resolve most shared house cleaning issues before they become arguments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Frequently Asked Questions<\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-faq uagb-faq__outer-wrap uagb-block-c7f02954 uagb-faq-icon-row uagb-faq-layout-accordion uagb-faq-expand-first-true uagb-faq-inactive-other-true uagb-faq__wrap uagb-buttons-layout-wrap uagb-faq-equal-height     \" data-faqtoggle=\"true\" role=\"tablist\"><div class=\"wp-block-uagb-faq-child uagb-faq-child__outer-wrap uagb-faq-item uagb-block-febfb9dd \" role=\"tab\" tabindex=\"0\"><div class=\"uagb-faq-questions-button uagb-faq-questions\">\t\t\t<span class=\"uagb-icon uagb-faq-icon-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"https:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox= \"0 0 448 512\"><path d=\"M432 256c0 17.69-14.33 32.01-32 32.01H256v144c0 17.69-14.33 31.99-32 31.99s-32-14.3-32-31.99v-144H48c-17.67 0-32-14.32-32-32.01s14.33-31.99 32-31.99H192v-144c0-17.69 14.33-32.01 32-32.01s32 14.32 32 32.01v144h144C417.7 224 432 238.3 432 256z\"><\/path><\/svg>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"uagb-icon-active uagb-faq-icon-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"https:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox= \"0 0 448 512\"><path d=\"M400 288h-352c-17.69 0-32-14.32-32-32.01s14.31-31.99 32-31.99h352c17.69 0 32 14.3 32 31.99S417.7 288 400 288z\"><\/path><\/svg>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t<span class=\"uagb-question\"><strong>How do you fairly split cleaning in a shared house?<\/strong><\/span><\/div><div class=\"uagb-faq-content\"><p>Shared spaces like kitchens and bathrooms benefit from a surface clean 2-3 times per week and a deeper clean once a week.
