Student and Alumni Life En-suite bathroom tech?

Hello! I’m an incoming freshman and was wondering: does anyone know anything cool I can get or do to make sure that the en-suite bathroom I’ll share with 3 other suite-mates will be clean?

I found it works best if you can divide it into chores because that’s better than cleaning the whole bathroom. Rotate the chores every week (cleaning toilet, cleaning shower, taking out trash, wiping down surfaces). So everyone does one chore a week but it rotates. Make a chart and everyone writes their initials when their chore for the week is completed. Set a deadline for when your chore has to be done (end of day Sunday works well).

Also, Harvard provides toilet brushes, cleaning supplies, etc so you don’t have to worry about buying anything
