 General principles: 

Please bring your own cleaning equipment if you can (e.g. small vacuum, long duster) as the church does not have enough for lots of people to use all at once.  We do have dusters, furniture polish, cleaning agents etc.

If you would prefer to clean on Friday rather than Saturday, you are most welcome to join Anna, who will be in the office 9-4.30.

- start up high, finish with floors, so dust doesn't fall onto clean surfaces below. Vacuum last.
