Cleaning The Space

So everyone should have heard about cleaning the space during senior port class time. Tom is requiring his class to be there on Thursdays.

Remember: Admin panel members have keys, so contact your representative to gain access to the building.

The admin panel met today at the space and wanted to express the importance of not only showing up to clean the space, but showing up prepared. Below is a list of tools/appliances you could voluntarily bring for just a day (or longer) to help clean the space.

-Broom + dust pan
-Vacuum
(the more the BETTER)
-Extension cords (for vacuum and future light installation- label with your name if you leave at the bank)
-Windex + Paper Towels (glass doors, windows)
-Trash bags
-Sand paper
(for smoothing out spackle that has been filled or left)
-Spackle + knife
-Dust mask or bandanna
(it has gotten really dusty)

We have found two mop buckets AND mops, so we just need hands for mopping. We also already have soap for the floors. Jake brought in some water for the mopping as well.

We also already have a ladder on location.

We have already removed all nails and screws, but it wouldn't hurt to bring screw drivers or hammers just in case. We have also filled in most of the holes with spackle.

We also need to look into getting the carpet steam cleaned or renting a steam cleaner. Does anyone have any inside help on this? Otherwise, this is something we need to discuss in congruence with the budget. Steam cleaning the carpet also means needing water...

I looked at the Home Depot website (you can rent carpet cleaners) and it looks like it is $19 to rent a carpet cleaner for 4 hours and $27 for 8 hours. There is a damage waiver of $1.90. Any other ideas? Cheaper ideas?

Bring supplies!!!

  1. Lowes has rug doctors for 24 hour rental for around 25$

  2. The $27 covers 8-24 hours at Home Depot... but Lowes is definitely closer.

  3. DO we need to get paint for where the spackle shows up?
