Cleaning up after my roommate

So, my apartment roomie is someone that was selected randomly for me, and she is a pretty bad match for me. I really don't have any issues with her other than the fact that she is very dirty. This wouldn't be a problem if we didn't share any common space, but we do (bathroom, kitchen, living room, hallway, staircase, etc etc). The kitchen is pretty much ok, but it bothers me when people use my silverware or pots and then neglect to clean what they used for more than a week! (sometime 2 or 3 weeks) I don't mind sharing my things, but I just get upset when I want to use these items, and they are dirty. All in all, it is tolerable, and eventually whoever is using my plates and silverware cleans the items she used.

The bathroom, on the other hand, is a different story. I never knew someone could be so dirty and slobbish. To this date, she has not cleaned the bathroom once. Not even once! I've cleaned it every time. I've had to scrub the tub due to some sort of epoxy she left to harden on the bottom, I have to dig hair from the sink that is clogged due to her toothpaste( I know it's hers because she uses a bright orange/red toothpaste), I sweep and mop the floors, clean the toilet (never had to clean a toilet so disgusting), well... pretty much everything. Anyway, it wouldn't even bother me that much to put all this work in if she actually respected all the cleaning that I have done for us. But instead, she will do her best to dirty it as fast as possible.

I'm saying all of this because I just got done doing a thorough cleaning of our shared bathroom, my bedroom, and the staircase. It's frustrating that in order to get my space clean, I have to clean her space too.

Oh, and also no "thank you" or anything. I am not a cleaning lady!
