There are communal tasks like cleaning common toilets and cleaning the kitchen, that are shared by everyone and not counted as part of the 5 hours per on duty day.
Everyone is also involved in helping out with the compost toilets operation. This means at least once or twice during their stay, to participate in the cleaning well organised process.
