Age-appropriate chores for teen girls

My teens are responsible for cleaning the sink, mirror, toilet and shower daily in their bathroom. This means using scrubbing bubbles on the sink and a spray in the shower, wiping down the shower, windex on the mirrors and daily a Clorox wipe for the toilet. Weekly we scrub the inside of the toilet. They have been doing these tasks daily since roughly age 8.

It is not too much to ask imo. Daily the last person to use the bathroom has these tasks (it works out to basically splitting the week).

They also clean their rooms weekly. In addition, they take out the trash and if they eat outside of a mealtime they are responsible for the entire cleanup; which means nothing left in the sink.

I think kids are so individual, but for us it helps that our kids see US cleaning regularly, so they understand it needs to happen and it's not awful. For our 15 year old, she unloads the dishwasher before school, packs her own lunch, clears the table after family dinners, cleans her own room and bathroom, and does her own laundry. I realize only a few things there are things she does for the family at large.

DD(16 & an only) is responsible for cleaning her bathroom on the schedule DH sets (quick wipe down or deep clean). She is responsible for setting and clearing the table, taking out the recycling, bringing her laundry down, and feeding the dog. Some times we ask her vacuum her room and the guest room, sometimes I do it if I am in a groove.

What are you doing in these bathrooms that makes them so filthy after a week?
If you are cleaning weekly, it should be NBD.
