Having lived with over 40 people, here are a few things we've done.
With Nat, we basically waited till things got really bad, and then devoted a single afternoon to completely cleaning the house. Since this was okay with both of us, it worked.
In my Nepean house, the first time, we basically set up a rotating schedule, so that one person would do dishes, another sweep floors, a third dust, a four clean drains and bathroom, and fifth would ummm.. not sure.. THIS didn't work out very well, cause people would forget, and others wouldn't do theirs till someone else did theirs... bad idea all around.
2nd round in nepean house, was everyone did their own dishes, and once a week we all pitched in an hour(there we six of us) to clean on the weekend when everyone was free. This worked better. It also helped that we got a dishwasher, cause no one liked doing dishes, even if it was their own.
With rez, we had someone to do our floors and such, but kitchen duties, we basically ran on a do it now, if it's still there after 24-48 hours, without a good excuse, your dishes get given to charity.
I'm gonna agree with liquid dreams on this one.. Do it at the same time as he does it. Gives him a chance to see he's not cleaning alone. (also, pick up a sub/slave that likes doing housework.)
