🔧 Troubleshooting
One housemate consistently forgets their cleaning day.
Set up a shared calendar or reminder system (like Google Calendar or a group chat) to send notifications a day before their assigned cleaning day.
Disagreements arise over what tasks are included in cleaning chores.
Create a detailed list of cleaning tasks and responsibilities for each person, and review it together to ensure everyone agrees on what is expected.
