Cleaning Protocol

We are delighted to welcome you to our beautiful temple space and trust you to take good care of it. You are welcome to use many of the items available, and in return, we kindly ask you to leave the space clean and tidy. Please familiarize yourself with all details regarding room rental, cancellation policies, and other relevant information on our website beforehand and keep it handy for reference.

Cleaning up takes time, so please plan accordingly. Note that your rental time is divided into four-hour slots (day-parts), and we ask you to adhere strictly to these schedules (see our website for details). Make sure to allocate enough time for both setup and cleanup, and consider arranging sufficient help from your volunteers or visitors (who are often willing to assist).

If you foresee that thorough cleaning may not be feasible, please inform us as early as possible. This allows us to arrange a professional cleaner, and you will only be charged for the associated costs.

Minimum Cleaning Requirements

We expect you to ensure the following as a minimum:

  1. Hall, Kitchen, and Toilets:

    • Remove waste from the trash cans in the hallway and the small bins in the two toilets on the 1st floor.
    • Sweep the floor in the Temple room thoroughly with the Swiffer. Disposable wipes for this purpose are available in the shower room.
    • Mop the floor using the Swiffer mop head. Cleaning supplies (use “Andy & spirit”) and buckets are located in the shower room.
    • Clean the toilets (cleaning products are next to the sink in the toilet room) and replenish toilet paper (available in drawers or on the shelf in the shower room). Please also mop the floor in the toilet areas.
    • Remove glasses, waste, and any other items from window sills or tables. Please do not place glasses on the piano to avoid damage.
    • Wash and store all dishes properly.
  2. Temple Room and Equipment:

    • Neatly stack the round meditation cushions at the bottom of the slanted cabinet (where the amplifier is located).
    • Fold blankets neatly (sorted by type) and place them back on the top shelf of the same cabinet.
    • Store yoga mats in the large storage compartment (top shelf) behind the curtain, rolling them up neatly, one at a time.
    • Strip mattresses of the white massage sheets: clean sheets should be placed back in the shopping bag in the cupboard, and dirty sheets in the laundry basket near the shower. Fold mattresses into thirds with the Velcro attached and stack them correctly in the large storage space behind the curtain. Tip: Encourage participants to bring their own blanket, sarong, or large towel to keep the massage sheets clean.
    • Disconnect any heaters from the sockets and do not leave kettles on their bases.
    • Turn off the power in the slanted box behind the curtain after ensuring all volume knobs are turned down.
    • Return any folded chairs to the cloakroom.
    • Put away any other items in their proper places, such as neatly arranging pillows and sheepskins on the couch.

Thank you for taking care of our beautiful temple space. Enjoy your event!
