Meetinghouse Cleaning Guide

Thank you for taking the time to clean our meetinghouse. Your designated week and assigned tasks help distribute the work.

Before you begin

Supplies are in the member cleaning supply closet across from the library. The mop room is to the left of the water fountain.

Caution: the door to the Detroit Mission vestibule area auto-locks. Prop the door open or keep keys with you while cleaning.

Tick off tasks as you go. These checkmarks are for your own progress during this visit.

Complete These Tasks Each Week

  • Clean all three bathrooms and the water fountain. See the bathroom cleaning checklist.

  • Vacuum the hallways and the chapel.

  • Check pew cushion cracks and hymnal shelving for lost items and trash. Spot clean as needed.

  • Check the front entrance floor and vestibule glass. Spot clean as needed.

  • Complete one special assignment from the rotating list.

Special Assignments

These tasks rotate so each cleaning group only needs to complete one special assignment each week. Use Schedule Search and Special Assignments to find your assignment.

  • Vacuum all side rooms. Mission offices are not included.

  • Mop all four vestibule floors.

  • Vacuum all chapel pews.

  • Clean entrance vestibule glass.

  • Clean east side vestibule glass.

  • Clean chalkboards, vacuum hallway and chapel corners, and dust hallway wood rails and picture frames.

Bathroom Cleaning Checklist

Prepare your supplies

Cleaning solutions and replacement mix packets are on the shelves in the mop closet. The mix packets are on the small shelf on the right. Add water, drop in the packet, and allow at least 10 minutes to dissolve.

  • Use all-purpose cleaner on sinks, counters, baby changer, urinals, and toilets.

  • Use glass cleaner on bathroom mirrors.

  • Check and refill toilet paper, hand soap, paper towels, and sanitary disposal bags.

  • Empty and clean sanitary bins in the women’s stalls and accessible bathroom.

  • Empty trash and replace bags.

  • Mop floors using one yellow mix packet for the mop bucket.

  • Clean the water fountain.

Note: if two tablespoons of bleach were added to the spray bottle mix, the liquid may be clear.

Congratulations! Checklist complete.
