CLEANING

The school cleaner can clean up after the function for $100. Decorations must be removed, chairs and tables cleaned and put away, and rubbish removed from the premises. The cleaner will then clean, mop and vacuum the entire hall, including toilets, kitchen, stage and main hall. Please let the Hall Hire Volunteers know if you wish to use this service, and pay for this at the time of booking. Otherwise, it is the hirer's duty to ensure this is all done appropriately by the end of their hall hire time. Some cleaning equipment is provided (mop, broom, vacuum cleaner), but it is generally the hirer's responsibility to provide cleaning products, wipes, paper towel, etc.
