Cleaning products you will need

Each bathroom should have a bucket in one of the bathrooms containing all the cleaning supplies you will need. If it does not, you should create one for that bathroom. Supplies are in the supply closet in the MaHo pool room/Basement. Supplies:

    1. Spray bottle of Waxie Disinfectant Cleaner(blue color). This is for disinfecting surfaces like the toilet seat, faucet handles. It needs to stay on the surface for about ten minutes.

    2. Spray bottle of Waxie Green Nonacid Bathroom Cleaner. This is for treating areas with water spots such as around the sink or in the shower.

    3. Spray bottle of window cleaner.

    4. Comet or Ajax. This is a powdered, abrasive cleanser that is used for cleaning the toilet bowl and the shower.

    5. Grout scrub brush for scrubbing the shower.

    6. Small plastic trash bags. There should be a roll of these in the bucket of supplies.

    7. Toilet paper, paper towels, and hand soap (if the soap dispenser is empty). These can be found in the supply closet.

    8. Rubber gloves. These can be found in boxes in cupboard to the left of the two-way sink in the kitchen.

Instructions for cleaning the bathroom

  • When using Waxie Disinfectant Cleaner(blue) wait 10 MINUTES before wiping down with a paper towel.

    • Toilet: Throw a little Comet in the toilet water. Clean the inside of the bowl with the brush located next to the toilet. Clean the outside of the toilet by spraying lightly with Waxie Disinfectant Cleaner(blue bottle) and wiping clean with paper towels. Clean the seat, lid, tank and bowl, all of it. Spray toilet handle with Waxie Disinfect Cleaner. Also spray door knob or handle.

    • Shower: Remove any trash and debris from the shower. Move all personal toiletries out of shower. Spray entire shower with the Waxie Disinfectant Cleaner(wait 10 minutes). Use Comet or Ajax with water and a brush to scrub walls and floor. Pay special attention to the grout between the tiles. Rinse thoroughly. Clean the shower door with Waxie Disinfectant Cleaner and paper towels. Clean the water handle.

    • Sink: Wet the sink surface, sprinkle with powdered abrasive cleaner, and clean with paper towels. Rinse. Spray handles with Waxie Disinfectant.

    • Other surfaces: Spray the counter and other surfaces with Waxie Disinfectant and wipe clean with paper towels. Spray handles with Waxie Disinfectant.

    • Disinfect: Spray disinfectant solution on everything that people regularly touch. This includes, but is not limited to: doorknobs, light switches, toilet handle, faucets, paper towel dispenser lever, soap dispenser lever, compost bin handle.

    • Floor: Sweep and mop the floor. Use Waxie Disinfectant cleaner.

    • Mirrors: Clean with window cleaner.

    • Trash and Compost: Take the trash to the outside trash dumpster; reline the trash can. Dump the paper compost can in the compost dumpster; do not line the (compost) can. If either can is dirty, rinse or scrub out as needed. Spray the top of compost bin with Waxie Disinfectant Cleaner.

    • Restock: Refill the toilet paper (at least 5 rolls on the top of the tank) and paper towels, if they need it. Restock the soap dispensers if they are empty.

    • 1st floor SoHo west only (unless future bathrooms have drains in them): the bathroom next to the door leading outside to the yard has a drain in the center of the floor. Pour a cup of water down the drain once per shift. This fills up the trap in the pipe and prevents stinky sewer air from backing up the pipe and making the bathroom reek. I promise.
