There are many things that we prefer to do in a certain way, but for whatever reason don't make it into the constitution, collective agreements, visitor infopage or any of the signs around the house. This page can act as a gathering place for those things. These norms are not rules: they can be edited by anyone at any time without formal process.

Toilets

pee sitting down
check after every shit: brush if you gotta
if you finish the toilet paper, butt towels or menstrual products, refill immediately

Bathroom

clean the drain of the shower after use
make sure the floor is not left wet; there is a towel dedicated for the floor
leave the shower head in its holder, pointing down

Kitchen

don't wash up cups/plates/cutlery: use the dishwasher
only leave the sink completely clear (applies to all sinks)
if people are preparing a communal meal, ask them before hanging out there
use the extraction fan when frying
prepared food should only be left on the table during communal meal times, afterwards it goes to the stove above the oven, the fridge or the food shelf
when emptying a pot/pan/casserole/whatever of communal food, ideally clean it, but at least put it to the dirty dishes next to the sink

Uncategorized
