The custodian will use discretion in prioritizing the daily work to the extent that some tasks will take priority at certain times. 

● Snow shoveling from door entrances will be done on a “as needed basis”. 

● While some vacuuming would normally be done daily, as time permits, it should be focused primarily in area of need particularly after events of higher attendance or activities that leave residue of any kind. More thorough vacuuming will be done before the weekend and significant events such as weddings, funerals, etc. 

● In wintertime, slush collecting mats will be placed at entrances. The shop vac could be used to vacuum water and grit with care taken to filter grit from the water when disposing of it. 

● Other custodial suggestions may be offered from time to time by the Property Manger, Ministry and Personnel Rep for the custodian, office staff, and / or individuals who are most active around the premises. 

● Early (7/8 am) cleaning is preferred to prepare for the morning renters. This time frame may vary dependent on late morning rental schedules.
