Bathroom and room checks
have taken place this week. If you bathroom required extra cleaning
you will have already been notified, the charge will have been added
to your account and the cleaners will have been instructed to clean
your bathroom the following day. In relation to the rooms, a large
proportion of the rooms were very messy and required tidying and
vacuuming. Please remember to clean your room before you leave, take
any rubbish to the refuse areas on your floor and vacuum your room.
Vacuum cleaners can be borrowed from reception, please remember to
bring your ID card.
Window Cleaning - Delayed to 17th, 18th and 20th June
Unfortunately, the
window cleaning schedule has been slightly delayed, due to
Thursday's heavy rain. The majority of windows have been cleaned
internally, although access was difficult to some windows due to
residents belongings all over the floor. The outside of the
windows will be now be cleaned on Friday 17th June, Saturday
18th June and Monday 20th June. So, please make sure to have
your curtains closed when getting dressed etc. If you live on
the lower floors you will not need to keep your windows
closed, as the window cleaning is now been undertaken by a
different method. If there are any further changes we will
inform you as soon as possible.
Disposing of sharp items
Sharp
items such as knives, razors etc. should not be disposed of in
general refuse as this poses a very real danger to the refuse
collectors.
They should be brought to reception and disposed of in the sharps
bin. They will either be reused or taken away safely.
