Should I be cleaning common areas?

I currently have my first deal under contract (duplex w/ 8 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms). 

I will living on the first floor (bedroom 1 and 2) and renting the other 6 bedrooms by the room. Does anyone have any experience with maintaining the cleanliness of common areas? I understand that the expectation is for tenants to clean up after themselves, but what about periodic deep cleans (ie. scrub bathroom floors, toilets, mop floors, vacuum hallways, etc)?

 Thank you!

@Nathan Gesner, as we all know 1970s Playboys should be kept in a plastic bag in the woods, under a pile of leaves.
