Defining the problem 

Having a clean home can be a hastle when there seems to be not time and you do not know exactly when to start. The problem is essentially HOW MIGHT WE IMPROVE HOME CLEANLINESS FOR COLLEGE STUDENTS ?

when you are stressed with deadlines , home cleaing can come second. However as anything else it is a matter of time management and accountability.
Significance of need

Home cleanliness is an important factor for living but also for productivity. Having a clean home can allow you to concentrate in the things that matter without having to waste time looking through messes or procrastinating by cleaning. Also if you are in a shared living space , it will help prevent any conflicts among house mates.
