Kitchen & Shop Cleanliness
Kitchen
- Food: Unlabeled food = up for grabs. Labeled food = don’t touch it!
- Personal Food & Drinks need to be clearly labeled with Name & Date
- No Culinary Lab Experiments, please! (only food, no mold!).
- Unidentified objects will be purged periodically.
- Clean up:
- If you use the microwave, use the splatter cover, then clean both MW and cover after use
- If you use the toaster, clean out crumbs, residues.
- If you use the coffee machine(s), throw out grounds/pods and clean the carafe after use.
- Wash your dishes, dry, and put away. Please don’t leave things in the drainer.
- Wipe surfaces after using/eating, including countertops and table.
- Aim to help empty one trash bin out every 2-3 visits (share the load!)
- We will happily take donations of paper towels, napkins, dish detergent, cleaning products, trash bags, plates and cups, etc., as well as non-perishable foods and beverages such as coffee, tea, cocoa, sugar, creamer, soft drinks, ice, bottled water, etc.
Shop
- All tables/workspaces are to be left completely cleaned off at the end of the night.
- If you use a table or any other kind of work-space, clean your area + 2 feet around it before you leave.
- Plan to stop your work 15-20 minutes before leaving so you have time to clean up.
- If you use a tool or machine, clean/wash/wipe it off, dry it if wet, and put it back where you found it. No tools should be left lying around -- all must be appropriately stored where you found them before you leave.
- Sweep, vacuum or mop floors where you have been working before you leave.
- Check with the shop captain for specific cleaning tasks needed in each shop.
- This is a shared space and we all want to enjoy it without having to spend a lot of time cleaning up other peoples’ messes. Remember the Golden Rule and be considerate of others!
