Cleaning: Order of Operations

Please note the following instructions, as they are designed to help you clean faster. When cleaning, clean from top to bottom. That way any debris from the beginning on counter tops, gets swept up and mopped at the end from the floor.

  1. Windex and Paper Towel to clean surfaces (tabletops, mirrors, toilet seat, ceramic, etc.)

  2. PineSol to clean floor (fill spray mop with water, then add a splash of PineSol). Our floor is old and worn, so minimal cleaning agent helps preserve it.

  6. Move garbage from the silver bin (left of vanity), to the main trash bin (near kitchen)

Window Areas

  1. Please fully open black drapes and close sheer white curtains to the best of your ability

    1. Check for stains on curtains

    2. Clean window-sill if dirty

  1. Spray Mop Floor and ensure it is free of scuffs (there are scratches near the far wall, that’s ok)

Garbage Bins

We have 3 garbage bins, and a recycle bin:

  1. Silver bin in makeup area left of vanity: empty this bin into the main garbage

  2. Washroom bin (compress tissues to create space)

  3. Main Garbage bin (if bag is more than 3/4 full, replenish bag from under the sink)

  4. Recycle bin under wooden rolling kitchen cart.

Floor

First Sweep: Use wide broom to speed up process. Remember to check corners and edges.

Mopping Tips

  1. Spray Mop: use the ones above the washroom (not the white mop since that’s just for clients).

  2. Mop Lengthwise: mop ALONG the wooden floor planks, NOT across. Mopping lengthwise minimizes effort, maximizes cleanliness of floor.

  3. Spray Generously: don’t be shy, you want that floor nice and misty when mopping to help degrease, de-gunk.

  4. Press Firmly: When mopping, you need to have a firm touch to ensure the maximum amount of friction between the mop and floor. If you haven’t worked up a light sweat, you haven’t properly cleaned the floor.

Before leaving please dump garbage in designated area (see below map & video).
