MISCELLANEOUS Cleaning Supplies The 4th floor contains a storage closet where all cleaning supplies are kept. Cleaning supplies for the 2nd and 3rd floors are found under the sinks in the bathrooms on that floor. The 1st floor cleaning supplies are located in the closet of the 1st floor pantry. Basement cleaning supplies are located in the butler�s john next to the kitchen. Note: a toilet that is not used is also in this closet. Water must be kept in the toilet at all times to prevent sewage backup. If you find the butler�s john empty, please take a bucket and fill it with water. Each supply storage area has a list of supplies posted on the door. Each item on the list should be in the closet. If supplies are missing, more cleaning supplies can be found in the basement pantry. Tissues, napkins, and toilet paper can be found in the closet next to the basement pantry. If you still cannot locate the cleaning supplies, notify the Clerk so that an order can be placed for the needed products. When you notice that supplies are running low, notify the Clerk to avoid running out. Dishes You must wash any dishes, cups, or utensils before placing them into the dishwasher. The dishwasher is unable to remove very sticky and greasy foods (i.e. cheese, etc). Washing dishes, cups and utensils by hand first can better ensure that they are cleaned properly and sanitized.
When the mail is received in a bundle each day, it should be separated into the appropriate mailboxes by the first person that sees that it has been delivered. Do not take anyone else�s mail, including magazines and catalogs. All mail addressed to the Harriet E. Richards House should be placed in the Treasurers mailbox. Newspaper The House subscribes to the Boston Globe. The newspaper is to be kept in the kitchen at all times. No one is to take it up to her room, cut anything out of it, or throw it out until the next day, with the exception of coupons. If you want an article saved, write �SAVE FOR XXXX� across the top. Recycling The House recycles newspaper, cans, bottles and glass jars. All Recyclables can be placed in the boxes under the backstairs. Cans and bottles must be rinsed out before being placed into the recycling containers. Conservation Be conservative. Extended showers cost the House money and raise the rent. Turn off the lights in the kitchen, dining room, French room, and your bedroom when they are not being used. Do not leave radios, computers, and fans on when you are not in the room. Do not open windows when the heat is on. Note:
