If you purchase a package where you will clean yourself, we require that all guests /DJ’s/vendors are departed 1 hour prior to the end of your rental to allow you the last 1 hour to clean and maintain safety since it is a small space and we do not want to risk any injuries with too many people in the building during the cleaning process/wet floors etc. Please be sure you plan ahead accordingly to adhere to this policy. If you are cleaning, the doors will be locked for this final hour. You may keep up to 7 people to help you clean. No more than yourself and 7 people helping you can be in the building for the final 1 hour. If you choose a package where we clean, all guests/vendors must depart 15 mins prior to the end of the rental so you can collect all of your personal items and everyone depart the building by the end of your rental time.
Client is responsible to thoroughly clean all counters, tabletops, and chairs, sweep & mop all floors, and remove all trash. We will provide 1 extra bag in each trashcan. We do recommend you bring a few extra trash bags. ** PLEASE DO NOT DRAG TRASH BAGS ACROSS THE HALLWAY CARPET AND DO NOT BRING THE OUTSIDE TRASHCANS INSIDE **. If leaking trash bags are dragged across the carpet leaving stains, there will be a deduction for carpet cleaning taken from the cleaning deposit.
