If I were in charge, I'd just make an announcement that next semester dues will be raised so that you can hire cleaning people because people aren't being responsible enough to clean up after themselves. Either people will get their act together so they don't have to pay the extra money, or they'll pay up and you guys can have somebody else do it.
We had cleaning people come three times a week (this was a pretty big house -- 50 girls living in). We weren't allowed in the kitchen (only our housemom and the waiters were), which I think makes a big difference, and people didn't really make a big mess in the first floor common areas. The only times we ever had problems were people leaving stuff in the 2nd and 3rd floor TV lounges, and the bathrooms, which tended to get a little messy on weekends.
