When I started my co-working presence in Singapore (a little, 'big' city?), most chores listed by Angel were done internal i.e. my staffs, myself who also use the co-work area. As time goes, efforts are 'chipped in' by subscribing members. Maybe it's a 'pick up your own litter' mentality or the posted 'keep the place clean' notices sticks. Hence the management of space is auto. Some of my members even help 'sell' available slots to inquirers! I think this works like a 2-way street : don't expect members to be delegated tasks, but ensure a culture is there to love that place they sits at. Hope this helps :)
