When and how to use this letter
Give this letter to the class teacher or the administrative officer responsible for housekeeping. Cleanliness complaints are straightforward — the fix is a cleaning schedule, not a budget approval — so they are among the easiest complaints to resolve. The main reason they linger is that nobody puts them in writing.
A tip that accelerates action: describe the current state precisely and propose the solution in the same letter. "The floor is swept once a week, dustbins overflow daily" plus "we request daily sweeping and a second dustbin" gives the administration a problem and a remedy in one page. If the classroom is shared between morning and evening shifts, mention that — shared rooms need cleaning between shifts, and the letter should ask for that explicitly. Dated photographs of the worst days, attached discreetly, make the complaint impossible to wave away.
If students are being asked to clean the classroom themselves, you can note that respectfully: students should keep their desks tidy, but floor sweeping and washroom cleaning are the housekeeping staff's job. Ask for a visible cleaning roster so the class knows when to expect the sweeper. Follow up after a week; if the roster appears but is not followed, a short reminder letter referencing the roster usually fixes it.
