Cleaning Guide and Questions
The clean up checklist is provided here, and a printed copy is located on the cleaning cart in the kitchen. Please contact the Longhouse Steward as soon as possible with any questions or concerns, preferably before your reservation. Return the cleaning supplies cart to the kitchen storage hallway. Notify the Longhouse Steward when supplies are low.
Access and Equipment Use
Set up access is based on the reservation details provided in advance. If you are locked out, call Public Safety non-emergency to gain entry. Dishwasher instructions are posted in the kitchen. All dishes must be dried and put away before leaving. The oven, stovetop, outdoor fryers, and fire pit require a quick training before use. Please contact the Longhouse Steward ahead of time if you plan to use this equipment.
Resources Available Upon Request
Frying oil disposal and tablecloths are available upon request.
Resources Not Available
Set up and take down support, kitchen custodial services, and on-demand cleaning support are not provided.
Before You Leave
Make sure all windows are closed and locked, all doors are closed, and all lights are turned off. Classroom tables should be reset to five to eight tables with two chairs per table, arranged in a square or circle in the middle of the Great Hall under the skylight.
Condition Upon Arrival
If there are concerns about the condition of the Longhouse when you arrive, contact the Steward as soon as possible at email at cohenrencountrea@lanecc.edu.
Pest Prevention
Take all pizza boxes to the outdoor dumpster in the parking lot. Remove any food garbage from the Great Room trash can and the kitchen trash can. Leave cans for NASA to redeem. Please do not prop outside-facing doors open, as this increases pest activity.
Great Room
Immediately clean any spills with clean rags.
Wipe down all tables that were used.
Reset five to eight tables in a circle in the center of the room under the skylight, with two chairs per table.
Put away any additional tables and chairs. Sweep the floor.
Hall of Honor
Sweep the floor.
Wipe down tables and chairs.
Make sure no food, stains, or craft debris are left behind.

Kitchen: A Shared Responsibility
Custodial does not clean the kitchen.
Kitchen care is everyone’s responsibility.
The Steward helps make sure everyone is recognized for doing their part, and deep cleaning takes place between terms.
Dishes and Surfaces
All dishes must be hand washed first, sanitized in the washer second, hand dried next, and then put away. Do not leave dishes in the sink or out to drip dry. Wipe out all sinks. Do not leave food debris in the drains. Clean the coffee maker and filter after each use.
Garbage Disposal
Run the disposal if food debris is rinsed into the sink.
Refrigerator and Food Storage
Bag and seal sugars, creamers, and syrups and place them in the refrigerator. Label food with your name and a use-by date. Unlabeled food and drinks may be removed monthly unless other arrangements have been made with the Steward. Clean spills and food debris in the refrigerator immediately.
Equipment and Safety
Turn off the gas and the overhead vent or light when finished.
Do not pour oil down the drains.
Clean the microwave after use.
Clean the coffee pot after each use and place grounds in the trash.
