Most cleaning utensils can be found under the kitchen sink. If we run out of utensils (e.g. gloves go quite quickly) it would be appreciated if you buy new ones, the Hackspace can reimburse you if needed. | |||
=== Dishes === | |||
We have a small dishwasher next to the kitchen sink. When it is full: | |||
* Tablets are under the sink. | |||
* Turn the machine on (press the power button.) It will immediately start the cleaning cycle. | |||
* It will take about TODO hours to finish. | |||
* Clean cutlery belongs in the drawer beneath the sink. Dishes belong in the cabinet above the sink. | |||
=== Kitchen === | |||
Lots of stuff to do here. To give you some pointers: | |||
* Clean up leftover foods, packaging etc off surfaces and wipe the surface clean. Start with a damp sponge to remove food stains. Apply surface cleaner (we usually have sprays), wipe the surface with a moist towel, then with a dry paper towel. | |||
* Clean up any stray dishes and cutlery. | |||
* Reorganise assorted foods into a more sensible arrangement. | |||
* Clean the coffee machine. | |||
* Clean the microwave. | |||
=== Floor === | |||
Our carpets need to be vacuumed regularly. We have two [[Vacuum_cleaner | vacuum cleaners]] in the Hackspace; unfortunately they tend to move around, but they're quite big and should be easy to find. | |||
First start by cleaning up any waste in the area, and move everything out of the way (chairs, desks, people.) Then start vacuuming. | |||
Don't vacuum wood shavings, metal shavings, longer cable cut-offs, and other rigid materials. | |||
If the vacuum doesn't appear to be strong enough check the following: | |||
* Is its container full? Take it out and bring it directly to the skip. | |||
* Is the vacuum pipe clogged? Take it off and carefully thrust a broomstick through (please do this outside, either in the front gallery or best in the parking space near the skip.) | |||
